Account Signing Key and Identifier

While managing account there are a couple of items the user will need to manage. The first one being their SigningKey. This is the key that will be used to sign transactions. Owning this key means that any value associated to this Account can be spent.

From the SigningKey we can extract the public Identifier. This is the data that will be used to publicly represent our Account on the blockchain.

Example


// generate a signing key
let signing_key = SigningKey::generate(thread_rng());

// extract the associated identifier
let identifier = signing_key.identifier();

// get the address to this account:
let address = identifier.to_address(Discrimination::Test);

println!(
  "Please, send money to my account: {}",
  AddressReadable::from_address("ca", &address)
);
