## wif

[Wallet Import Format](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format)

Type: [string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)

## pubkey

EOSKey..

Type: [string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)

## ecc

### initialize

Initialize by running some self-checking code.  This should take a
second to gather additional CPU entropy used during private key
generation.

Initialization happens once even if called multiple times.

Returns **[Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)** 

### unsafeRandomKey

Does not pause to gather CPU entropy.

Returns **[Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)&lt;PrivateKey>** test key

### randomKey

#### Parameters

-   `cpuEntropyBits` **[number](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number)** gather additional entropy
    from a CPU mining algorithm.  This will already happen once by
    default. (optional, default `0`)

#### Examples

```javascript
ecc.randomKey().then(privateKey => {
console.log('Private Key:\t', privateKey) // wif
console.log('Public Key:\t', ecc.privateToPublic(privateKey)) // EOSkey...
})
```

Returns **[Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)&lt;[wif](#wif)>** 

### seedPrivate

#### Parameters

-   `seed` **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** any length string.  This is private.  The same
    seed produces the same private key every time.  At least 128 random
    bits should be used to produce a good private key.

#### Examples

```javascript
ecc.seedPrivate('secret') === wif
```

Returns **[wif](#wif)** 

### privateToPublic

#### Parameters

-   `wif` **[wif](#wif)** 
-   `pubkey_prefix` **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** public key prefix (optional, default `'EOS'`)

#### Examples

```javascript
ecc.privateToPublic(wif) === pubkey
```

Returns **[pubkey](#pubkey)** 

### isValidPublic

#### Parameters

-   `pubkey` **[pubkey](#pubkey)** like EOSKey..
-   `pubkey_prefix` **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)**  (optional, default `'EOS'`)

#### Examples

```javascript
ecc.isValidPublic(pubkey) === true
```

Returns **[boolean](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean)** valid

### isValidPrivate

#### Parameters

-   `wif` **[wif](#wif)** 

#### Examples

```javascript
ecc.isValidPrivate(wif) === true
```

Returns **[boolean](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean)** valid

### sign

Create a signature using data or a hash.

#### Parameters

-   `data` **([string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) \| [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html))** 
-   `privateKey` **([wif](#wif) | PrivateKey)** 
-   `encoding` **[String](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** data encoding (if string) (optional, default `'utf8'`)

#### Examples

```javascript
ecc.sign('I am alive', wif)
```

Returns **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** string signature

### signHash

#### Parameters

-   `dataSha256` **([String](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) \| [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html))** sha256 hash 32 byte buffer or string
-   `privateKey` **([wif](#wif) | PrivateKey)** 
-   `encoding` **[String](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** dataSha256 encoding (if string) (optional, default `'hex'`)

Returns **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** string signature

### verify

#### Parameters

-   `signature` **([string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) \| [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html))** buffer or hex string
-   `data` **([string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) \| [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html))** 
-   `pubkey` **([pubkey](#pubkey) | PublicKey)** 
-   `encoding`   (optional, default `'utf8'`)
-   `hashData` **[boolean](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean)** sha256 hash data before verify (optional, default `true`)
