Keeman

Installation

go install github.com/chronicleprotocol/keeman@latest

Examples

Mnemonic Phrase Generation

Generate a mnemonic phrase with 256 bits of entropy:

keeman generate -b 256

Key Derivation

Derive a key pair from the provided mnemonic phrase:

echo "your mnemonic phrase" | keeman derive

Derive an Ethereum Key and encrypt with a static salt (creates reproducible keystore JSONs):

echo "your mnemonic phrase" | keeman derive --format eth

Create a plain text Ethereum key:

echo "your mnemonic phrase" | keeman derive --format eth-plain

Generate and save a service keys to files usable by tor

MNEMONIC=$(keeman generate)
keeman derive --format onion <<<"$MNEMONIC" | jq -r .hostname > hostname
keeman derive --format onion <<<"$MNEMONIC" | jq -r .public_key | base64 -d > hs_ed25519_public_key
keeman derive --format onion <<<"$MNEMONIC" | jq -r .secret_key | base64 -d > hs_ed25519_secret_key

Generate the mnemonic phrase and derive four keys in one command (and show the mnemonic phrase on stderr):

keeman gen | tee >(cat >&2) | keeman der 0 1 2 3
