Keypair.exe - Ethereum

Contains executables, created with Nexe, for generating a keypair, signing a message, and verifying a message.

This repo relies entirely on Paul Miller's @noble/secp256k1 and @noble/hashes libraries.

Scripts

You don't need to use the executables at all, you can interact with the source code directly.

Generating a keypair

node create.js

Signing a message

Remove the 0x prefix from hex strings before calling the function.

node sign.js

Verifying a message

The public key, pubKey, can be compressed or uncompressed. When inputting a hex string, remove the 0x prefix before calling the function.

node verify.js

Commands

There are scripts inside the package.json for both Powershell and Bash.

Powershell:

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 <FILE_PATH>

Bash:

shasum -a256 <FILE_PATH>

Rebuild

The steps I took to build the executables are listed below.

Install nexe globally (I used version 4.0.0-rc.6):

npm i -g nexe

Create.js:

nexe create.js -o _create.exe --build --target windows-x64-16.17.1

Sign.js:

nexe sign.js -o _sign.exe --build --target windows-x64-16.17.1

Verify.js:

nexe verify.js -o _verify.exe --build --target windows-x64-16.17.1

Output

Images of what will be displayed in the terminal after running the scripts/executables.
