Public key vs Private Key

Recommended Posts

We are very well known with all these words if we are a little knowledgeable on how cryptocurrency wallet works.

let me share the basic difference between this two concept.

What we generally understand-

Public Key- Our address

Private key- Key to unlock the address

Although the meaning are close to the actual concept but it's not exact meaning.

Public Key

Public Key is a key for encryption of data. Although we used it as our receiving address, it's in reality encrypt the data from blockchain for us. It is available to everyone

Private Key

Private key help us to decrypt the data for the Public Key. It helps decryption of data which has been encrypted to the Public key. Private key is secret to the Public key holder only.

There is some little difference what I observed in my etherwallet is

You can know public by using private key.

You cannot able to find private key by using public key.

Hope you can understand what I meant these things.

Public key and private key cannot be compared, in the thread you explain the definition but in the title the placement of the word "VS" is like comparing.

Your explanation it's good sir, public key or often we call crypto address, where we need a public key for coin transactions. Private key is an encrypted password to open the door to our wallet.

I'd like to add few more points. Public keys work in a similar way to your email address. When someone wants to send you cryptocurrency, they will send it to your public key. But Private keys are totally different thing. If your public keys are like an email address, then your private keys are like the password.

Any one can see the condition or properties of the public key but only the owner can access the public with the private key. private key is a secured key which is very much important for a crypto trader.

In my opinion, the Public Key is the wallet address of a particular cryptocurrency for the Deposit. A Private key is the key to access the wallet help us to decrypt the data for the Public Key.

I give the most importance to the private key between the public key and the private key because if using the public key anyone can easily hack your account and transfer your money, but if using a private key no one can easily do it.  The best.

Thank you for so clearly defining the definitions, to be honest, I did not quite understand the difference between closed and open, but your article helped to decide on this. I’ll come back often to your channel, you have interesting articles.

I think..

Private Key


In Private key, the same key (secret key) is used for encryption and decryption. In this key is symmetric because the only key is copy or share by another party to decrypt the cipher text. It is faster than the public key cryptography.

 

Public Key


In Public key, two keys are used one key is used for encryption and another key is used for decryption. One key (public key) is used for encrypt the plain text to convert it into cipher text and another key (private key) is used  receiver to decrypt the cipher text to read the message.

 

Thank you so much  everyone..

Thank you for this short reminder because a lot of users are confused with these two notions. So "Public key = adress" and "Private key = key of the adress".

How funny as it may sound, many newbies don't know the importance of hiding a private key. Back few years ago when there was this ERC20 token airdrop frenzy you could see hundreds of private keys put in the google form spreadsheets and some people farmed these spreadsheets for private keys. Weird times.

But I think that you can see the status or features of an open key, but the owner of it can go to the open with a private key like this. I'll know very soon. General Chat Chat LoungThe non-public key can be a secure key which is surprisingly critical for crypto suppliers.

In Public key ,two keys used one key is used for encryption and another key is used for decryption .public keep is used for encrypt the plain text to converse it into cipher text and private me is used to decrypt the cipher text to read the message .the main difference between public key and private key is that the public key is used for data encryption while the private key is used for data decryption.

Thanks for sharing, it will be helpful for those who do not know much about these types of locks. Each type of lock will have different advantages. I prefer the private key and I'm using it too

The public key and private key can't be looked at, in the string you clarify the definition yet in the title, the situation of "Versus" resembles contrasting. 
Your clarification's great sir, public key or regularly we call crypto address, where we need a public key for coin exchanges. The private key is an encoded secret key to open the entryway to our wallet.

    • Майнер криптовалюты Hut 8 Corp опубликовал отчет о своих результатах за последние шесть месяцев. Согласно пресс-релизу компании , Hut 8 увеличила выручку до $60,6 млн за шесть месяцев, закончившихся 31 декабря 2023 года. Основные показатели финансовой отчетности Hut 8 включают увеличение выручки на 32% и значительное увеличение чистой прибыли до $6,2 млн по сравнению с к предыдущему чистому убытку. Стоимость майнинга биткойнов ( BTC ) составила 18 815 долларов США, и за этот период компания добыла 1244 биткойна. Стоимость энергии Hut 8 за МВтч составила 44,52 доллара США, что отражает эффективность управления затратами на электроэнергию. Биткойн укрепляет активы Hut 8 Сила баланса компании очевидна в ее активах в биткойнах : по состоянию на 31 декабря 2023 года 9 195 биткойнов оценивались примерно в 388,1 миллиона долларов. Эта база активов обеспечивает Hut 8 значительную рыночную стоимость и потенциал для будущих доходов. Биткойн демонстрирует устойчивый рост с начала года после того, как спотовые биткойн- ETF в США привлекли в биткойн институциональных и розничных инвесторов. С начала года первая и до сих пор лидирующая криптовалюта в мире подорожала на 60%, а в начале марта BTC обновил свой исторический максимум, поднявшись выше $70 000. Кроме того, рыночная капитализация Биткойна превысила 1,4 триллиона долларов, что сделало самую ценную криптовалюту восьмым по величине активом в мире, обогнав серебро.

Банк посчитал эти операции сомнительными и теперь всем заблокированным нужно подтвердить источник происхождения средств перед банком. Для подтверждения необходимо предоставить банку скриншот личного кабинета криптобиржи, адрес сайта, пользовательское имя и историю транзакций.   🔥 Ethena Labs сделают аирдроп на 750 млн токенов   2 апреля DeFi-протокол Ethena Labs проведет аирдроп 750 млн токенов управления ENA среди участников программы поощрения Shard.
