org.bitcoinj.crypto.DumpedPrivateKey

public class DumpedPrivateKey
extends EncodedPrivateKey

Parses and generates private keys in the form used by the Bitcoin "dumpprivkey" command. This is the private key bytes with a header byte and 4 checksum bytes at the end. If there are 33 private key bytes instead of 32, then the last byte is a discriminator value for the compressed pubkey.

Method Details

fromBase58

public static DumpedPrivateKey fromBase58(@Nullable
 Network network,
 String base58)
                                   throws AddressFormatException,
AddressFormatException.WrongNetwork

Construct a private key from its Base58 representation.

Parameters:

network - The expected Network or null if you don't want validation.

base58 - The textual form of the private key.

Throws:

AddressFormatException - if the given base58 doesn't parse or the checksum is invalid

AddressFormatException.WrongNetwork - if the given private key is valid but for a different chain (e.g. testnet vs mainnet)

fromBase58

@Deprecated
public static DumpedPrivateKey fromBase58(@Nullable
 NetworkParameters params,
 String base58)
                                   throws AddressFormatException,
AddressFormatException.WrongNetwork

Deprecated.

use fromBase58(Network, String)

Construct a private key from its Base58 representation.

Parameters:

params - The expected Network or null if you don't want validation.

base58 - The textual form of the private key.

Throws:

AddressFormatException - if the given base58 doesn't parse or the checksum is invalid

AddressFormatException.WrongNetwork - if the given private key is valid but for a different chain (e.g. testnet vs mainnet)

toBase58

public String toBase58()

Returns the base58-encoded textual form, including version and checksum bytes.

Returns:

textual form

getKey

public ECKey getKey()

Returns an ECKey created from this encoded private key.

isPubKeyCompressed

public boolean isPubKeyCompressed()
