(AutoIt) secp256k1 Key Generation and Keccak-256

See more ECC Examples

Starting in v11.0.0, Chilkat supports both secp256k1 key generation and Keccak-256 directly. These algorithms are typically used for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; Create a Fortuna PRNG and seed it with system entropy.
; This will be our source of random data for generating the ECDSA private key.
$oFortuna = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Prng")
Local $sEntropy = $oFortuna.GetEntropy(32,"base64")
Local $bSuccess = $oFortuna.AddEntropy($sEntropy,"base64")

; Generate a random ECDSA private key on the secp256k1 curve.
Local $oPrivKey = $oEcc.GenEccKey("secp256k1",$oFortuna)
If ($oEcc.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oEcc.LastErrorText & @CRLF)

; Show how to compute the Keccak-256 hash in a few ways.

; Output:
