Cryptography Tools

Official encryption library powered by zetrix-encryption-nodejsarrow-up-right.

Generate New Keypair(zetrix_crypto_generate_keypair)

Generate new key pair with address.

Purpose: Create cryptographically secure keypair for new accounts.

Algorithm: Ed25519 (Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm)

Returns:

{
  "privateKey": "priv...",
  "publicKey": "b001...",
  "address": "ZTX..."
}

Key Length: 256-bit private key, 256-bit public key

Security: Industry-standard algorithm used by cryptocurrencies worldwide

Performance: Generates keypair in <10ms

Offline: Completely offline operation, no network required


Public Key(zetrix_crypto_get_public_key)

Derive public key from private key.

Purpose: Calculate corresponding public key from private key.

Algorithm: Scalar multiplication on Ed25519 curve

Mathematics: P = s*G where P is public key, s is private key, G is generator

Deterministic: Same private key always produces same public key

Performance: <5ms computation time


Account Address(zetrix_crypto_get_address)

Get Zetrix address from public key.

Purpose: Derive Zetrix address from public key.

Process:

  1. PublicKey → SHA-256 hash

  2. → RIPEMD-160

  3. → Checksum

  4. → Base58 encoding

Format: Starts with "ZTX", 35 characters total

Checksum: Built-in error detection prevents typos

One-way: Cannot reverse address to get public key


Validate Key Format & Integrity(zetrix_crypto_validate_key)

Validate key or address format.

Purpose: Check if key/address string is correctly formatted.

Validates:

  • Format

  • Prefix

  • Length

  • Encoding

  • Checksum

Checks Performed:

  • Private key: "priv" prefix, 64 hex chars, valid curve point

  • Public key: "b001" prefix, valid encoding

  • Address: "ZTX" prefix, 35 chars, valid Base58, checksum

Performance: <1ms validation time


Generate Digital Signature(zetrix_crypto_sign)

Sign a message with private key.

Purpose: Create cryptographic signature proving message authenticity.

Algorithm: Ed25519 signature scheme (EdDSA)

Output: 64-byte signature (128 hex characters)

Security: Signature proves private key holder approved the message

Properties:

  • Deterministic

  • Non-repudiable

  • Verifiable

Performance: ~0.5ms per signature


Verify Digital Signature(zetrix_crypto_verify)

Verify signature against message.

Purpose: Confirm signature was created by claimed private key.

Input:

  • Message

  • Signature

  • Public key

Output: Boolean (valid/invalid)

Security: Mathematically impossible to forge valid signature without private key

Performance: ~1ms per verification (slightly slower than signing)


Encrypt Private Key(zetrix_crypto_encrypt_key)

Encrypt private key with password.

Purpose: Secure private key storage using password-based encryption.

Algorithm: AES-256-CBC (Advanced Encryption Standard)

Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with 10,000+ iterations and random salt

Output: Encrypted key + salt + IV in single string

Password Requirements:

  • Minimum 12 characters

  • Mixed case (upper and lower)

  • Include numbers and symbols

  • Avoid common words

Performance: ~100-200ms (intentionally slow for security)


Decrypt Private Key(zetrix_crypto_decrypt_key)

Decrypt encrypted private key with password.

Purpose: Recover private key from encrypted storage.

Process:

  1. Extract salt/IV

  2. Derive key with PBKDF2

  3. Decrypt with AES-256

Validation: Automatically verifies decryption succeeded

Errors: Returns error if password incorrect or data corrupted

Performance: ~100-200ms (same as encryption)
