Orbs Node and Client Key/Address Generator

This toolkit provides you with a simple way to generate both client key pairs and addresses and node key pairs and addresses.

Since the keys are sensitive, it is recommended to use these tools in a private place, where the generated output can be safely stored in a secure location.

Prerequisities

Node.js should be installed version 8 or above.

Installing

To install the key generator, use npm

npm i -g orbs-key-generator

It is also possible to clone this repository and then run build.sh

Generating a client key

To generate a client public and private key, as well as an Orbs address, run:

orbs-key-generator client

Generating a node key

To generate a node public and private key, as well as an Orbs node address, run:

orbs-key-generator node

Orbs addresses are fully functional Ethereum addresses, used by the Orbs nodes to communicate over the Ethereum network.
