Lykke.Ico.KeyGenerator

CLI tool to generate BTC and ETH key pairs and addresses. Generates a couple of CSV files - one with public keys only, and one with full data including private (secret) keys. Optionally BTC and ETH addresses can be included. Symbol ; is used as separator to make generated files compatible with spreadsheet tools.

Building

Utility is written with .NET Core and can be built for multiple platforms:

src\Lykke.Ico.KeyGenerator> dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64
src\Lykke.Ico.KeyGenerator> dotnet publish -c Release -r osx.10.12-x64

Those commands generate output for corresponding platforms which contain all required binaries:

src\Lykke.Ico.KeyGenerator\bin\Release\netcoreapp2.0\win10-x64\
src\Lykke.Ico.KeyGenerator\bin\Release\netcoreapp2.0\osx.10.12-x64\

Usage

Lykke.Ico.KeyGenerator -n <Number of key pairs to generate> [-p <Path to public keys file>] [-s <Path to secret keys file>] [-net <Name of BTC net>] [-a] [-h]

Arguments

-n <Number of key pairs to generate>

Mandatory. Number of BTC and ETH key pairs to generate. Positive integer.

-p <Path to public keys file>

Optional. Path to file to write public keys. If not specified then "public.csv" in application working directory is used.

-s <Path to secret keys file>

Optional. Path to file to write private (secret) keys. If not specified then "secret.csv" in application working directory is used.

-net <Name of BTC network>

Optional. Name of BTC network to generate BTC keys for. Available values - Main, TestNet, RegTest. If not specified or corresponding network is not found by name then Main network is used.

-a

Optional. If specified then addresses are generated in addition to public and private keys.

-h

Optional. If specified then headers are writed into generated CSV files. By default headers are omitted.

Default columns order is:

• For public keys file: [btcAddress]; btcPublic; [ethAddress]; ethPublic;
• For secret keys file: [btcAddress]; btcPublic; btcPrivate; [ethAddress]; ethPublic; ethPrivate;

Addresses are optional and are written only if -a argument is specified.

-e <Entropy>

Optional. Additional entropy for RNG. Quote value if special symbols (not A-Z|a-z|0-9) are used.
