The difference between private key and a public key

[Mamba79 682]

The public key is one that we share with any person to receive a transaction, while the private key its name indicates it, is private and should not be shared with anyone for any reason, you must guard it very well to have control over your asset to any unforeseen event that occurs with your wallet

Well, does the cold wallet (hardware wallet) have a public key and private keys? This question came to my mind as soon as I read your article, if the hardware wallet is not connected to the internet, will it have its own address?

Thank you very much for giving such information, I did not know about public or private key before, but when I read the post of people, I have come to know quite a bit about it.

In public key cryptography, an encryption key (which could be the public or private key) is used to encrypt a plain text message and convert it into an encoded format known as cipher text. Then the other key is used as a decryption key to decrypt this cipher text so that the recipient can read the original message. In short, the main difference between a public key vs private key is that one encrypts while the other decrypts.

When u hear about wallet,the next thing to think of is ur token that are save there.how are they save?they are only save when the details of your private wallet I not disclose to anyone.while the public key can go to any length as far as you are advertising your coins when you want to sell.

You can share your public keys but private keys you cannot share. Always try tonwrite your private keys on safe place. If you lose your private keys then you cannot recover your account. If hackers hack your account and  know about the private keys they withdraw your all balance from your account

[Tonmoy12 345]

Thank you very much for sharing your valuable information. As a new member I really needed to know about those information. So I should always keep saved my private key account. So no should know about my private key account details. And I should use the public key of my wallet to enjoy other benefit of crypto.

Thank you so much for sharing this piece of information with us,I actually don't it's very important until you share your ideas now,keep up the good work

Private key is just like password of your wallet. and public kay is like that address you give it to the other person to transfer the money to your account. As can say that the private key is like the private information you don't need to give anyone. if you share your private even any more than it is possible that your account can be hacked.

[Ahmdoof 59]

This warning is good and the question is important so that we do not make a mistake or be robbed of what we have. The private key must be kept secret.

[MK AHMAD 1134]

The difference between public key and private key, public key is a key or password that can be share with other members for example an account own by more than one person especially an account details own by an organization while private key is a key or password that is not share with any body especially the account details of the crypto currency platform accout which is not advisable to be shared with anyone because you may be a victim of scammers or hackers

[Farouk jubril 58]

As the name implies private key is meant to be known by the owner alone to avoid theft or fraud without a private key a coin cannot be withdrawn or transferred from a wallet where as public as the name also implies is to be made known to everybody so as to receive coin

[MalikAdnan 1662]

Yes my dear you share here very informative points I think thanks bro. Before this I don't know in well understanding way but now I'm confirm I think. Yes you are right public key that we share with others for receiving the coins and one for the our wallet security knowns as private keys.

[Enasalshrbaji20 516]

Hello my friend .. I think that there is a big difference between the public key and the private key or what is encrypted in a private wallet for cryptocurrencies. You should not give the password to anyone or enter mined sites. This is what fraudsters do to steal our money.

If we talk about wallets then we will also talk about the wallet keys. There are two kinds of wallet keys; the private key and the public key.

 

The public key is also known as your wallet address. This is the alpha numeric number which you give to someone in order to receive a certain coin or token. The word public means that you can share it so you can make transactions.

 

Next is the private keys. Private keys are like the keys you use to open your door. For example you are going to unlock your door and you need a key to open it. It is the same with your private keys, this is the key that you will use to unlock or access your wallet. The word private here means that this key needs to be kept by you and never be shared otherwise other people can access your wallet.

 

So always keep in mind the difference so that your wallet will be safe and your coin or token will not be taken away from you. Share only your public key (wallet address) and not your private key.

Good information for the newbies because we already know about the keys of wallet but you must have secured your private keys in your mind don’t reveal it if you reveal you will be loss your funds.

Dear friends the public key is the address of your wallet and the private key is used to access our wallet we must save our private key because if you tell other people's about your key you can lost all of your money.

[Malikjnb 1235]

I think your post is very useful for me I think private key is just for you. You cannot give to another person. Private key which we use to access in your wallet but the public key is your wallet address you give anyone and take the money in you wallet.

[johnTaylor 287]

Yes my dear there are many difference I think. No doubt private keys and public keys. Public keys as a name for the public and you can share with people fr receiving and private keys it is security and for you only.

[Makxxx23 103]

[zeshan1122 654]

you are always advised not to share your private keys to any person even if he is your friend and even if someone is offering you a  helping hand in any way.

[Ahmad N Ahmad 472]

A private key are keys that are secure and no one can have assess to it except the creator and those that are give mandate why public key are keys that are assessable by everyone and they are not secure by the creator.

[Thechamp 287]

The first thing you should know is that your private keys doubles the security of your wallet and public Key's are which Key's which were given by the wallet administration. And private Key's are the most secured Key's then public Key's.

[Shgmdin44 348]

To keep your wallet safe and secure your key must be unique that is not  easily acces by any hacker. Many user mostly use keys that is easily remind so we always make keys good strength and mix of latters and mix characters
