A brain wallet is a hashing of passphrase to create a private key. Humans are pretty bad at being original. REALLY bad at being random. We generate random wallets by popular dictionary.
We hope you did not find your address in leaked database. But you can see other users' private keys. These keys are compormised now.
A bitcoin wallet contains a collection of key pairs, each consisting of a private key and a public key. The private key (k) is a number, usually picked at random. From the private key, we use elliptic curve multiplication, a one-way cryptographic function, to generate a public key (K). From the public key (K), we use a one-way cryptographic hash function to generate a bitcoin address (A). In this section we will start with generating the private key, look at the elliptic curve math that is used to turn that into a public key, and finally, generate a bitcoin address from the public key.
A private key is simply a number, picked at random. Ownership and control over the private key is the root of user control over all funds associated with the corresponding bitcoin address. The private key is used to create signatures that are required to spend bitcoins by proving ownership of funds used in a transaction. The private key must remain secret at all times, as revealing it to a third party is equivalent to giving them control over the bitcoins secured by that key.
The private key must also be backed up and protected from accidental loss, since if lost it cannot be recovered and the funds secured by it are forever lost too.
The first and most important step in generating keys is to find a secure source of entropy, or randomness. Creating a bitcoin key is essentially the same as “Pick a number between 1 and 2^256“. The exact method you use to pick that number does not matter as long as it Is not predictable or repeatable.
Bitcoin software uses the underlying operating system’s random number generators to produce 256 bits of entropy (randomness). Usually, the OS random number generator is initialized by a human source of randomness, which is why you may be asked to wiggle your mouse around for a few seconds. For the truly paranoid, nothing beats dice, pencil and paper.
All Bitcoin private keys is simply an integer between number 1 and 115792089237316195423570985008687907852837564279074904382605163141518161494337 or HEX: from 1 to 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd0364141. The integer range of valid private keys is governed by the secp256k1 ECDSA standard used by Bitcoin.
We just generate a range of these integers in sequence, divide into pages and show on each page. We can't store it and we have not saved database, because it should be biggest base on the world.
You can find Private key in WIF (Wallet Import/Export Format) and compressed key. Bitcoin addresses in compressed/ uncompressed formats, SegWit (P2SH-P2WPKH) and native Segwit ( P2WPKH) addesses start bc1 , Pay to script hash (P2SH) starting with 3; legacy Bitcoin Cash addresses and new format.

A private key, also known as a secret key , is a variable in cryptography that is used with an algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data. Secret keys should only be shared with the key's generator or parties authorized to decrypt the data. Private keys play an important role in symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography and cryptocurrencies .
A private key is typically a long, randomly or pseudo-randomly generated sequence of bits that cannot be easily guessed. The complexity and length of the private key determine how easily an attacker can execute a brute-force attack , where they try out different keys until the right one is found.
Private key encryption is also referred to as symmetric encryption , where the same private key is used for both encryption and decryption. In this case, a private key works as follows:
A private key is also used in asymmetric cryptography , which is also known as public key cryptography . In this case, the private key refers to the secret key of a public key pair. In public key cryptography, the private key is used for encryption and digital signatures. It works as follows for asymmetric cryptography:
Private key encryption provides several useful features. They include the following four benefits:
The security of encryption keys depends on choosing a strong encryption algorithm and maintaining high levels of operational security. Encryption key management is necessary for any organization using encryption to protect its data. That goes for symmetric, as well as asymmetric, encryption.
While private key encryption can ensure a high level of security, the following key management challenges must be considered:
Asymmetric cryptography, also known as public key cryptography , uses pairs of public and private keys. These two different but mathematically linked keys are used to transform plaintext into encrypted ciphertext or encrypted text back to plaintext.
When the public key is used to encrypt ciphertext, that text can only be decrypted using the private key. This approach enables anyone with access to the public key to encrypt a message, and only the private key holder will be able to decrypt it.
When the private key is used to encrypt ciphertext, that text can be decrypted using the public key. That ciphertext can be a component of a digital signature and used to authenticate the signature. Only the holder of the private key could have encrypted ciphertext, so if the related public key successfully decrypts it, the digital signature is verified.
The public key is made available to everyone that needs it in a publicly accessible repository. The private key is confidential and should only be accessible to the public key pair owner. In this method, whatever is encrypted with the public key requires the related private key for decryption and vice versa. Public key encryption is typically used for securing communication channels, such as email.
Private keys share the following characteristics with passwords:
While passwords are usually limited to characters accessible from a computer keyboard, cryptographic keys can consist of any string of bits. Such strings may be rendered in human-accessible character sets, if necessary. Length and randomness are two important factors in securing private keys.
The length of a cryptographic key necessary to secure it against brute-force attacks depends on the encryption algorithm being used. As computers have become more powerful, cryptographic keys have grown longer to withstand brute-force attacks.
For example, early web browsers protected data with 40-bit keys; in 2015, the National Institute of Standards and Technology recommended a minimum key length of 2,048 bits for use with RSA , or Rivest-Shamir-Adleman, encryption.
Just as important to the strength of a private key is its randomness.
Commercial software often relies on a pseudo-random number generator ( PRNG ) to generate private keys. However, PRNG output is not truly random and can be defeated by an attacker.
True random number generators require a source of physical entropy, such as a physical coin toss, roll of dice or unusual generators , like lava lamps. For example, the Pretty Good Privacy public key encryption program prompts users to generate entropy for a new public key pair by randomly moving their mouse.
Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin depend on cryptographic algorithms to generate, store and exchange digital value. Cryptocurrencies use public key cryptography for creating digital signatures that authenticate value transfers, as well as symmetric encryption to protect data exchanges.
While secret keys are used for symmetric encryption in cryptocurrency protocols, there is usually a public-private key pair assigned to the cryptocurrency owner to protect their ownership interests.
Cryptocurrency owners should store private keys securely because losing control or access to a private key means losing access to the cryptocurrency asset. Secure options for storing private keys include storing them on an isolated computer with no network connections, in hard copies that are physically secured or committed to memory.
As use of the public internet continues to expand for commercial, government and personal communication, so too does the need for securely using encryption to protect those exchanges.
Securing the private keys used to protect that data is the foundation of maintaining security in all types of communication.

But first, let’s talk a little bit about what a Private Key is and why you need it.
A Private Key is an integral element of an SSL certificate to protect the data sent between the server where your website is located and connecting clients (such as a web browser). This key is used in conjunction with the Public Key, which is embedded in the SSL certificate itself. Together they are known as a key pair.
Basically, when data is sent from the website visitor’s browser, it is encrypted with the Public Key. This information can only be decrypted when it reaches the server with the related Private Key. An SSL certificate can only work with a key pair, as a Private Key cannot work without a Public Key and vice versa.
To activate your SSL, you will need to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR code) . With SSLs.com, you have the option of generating it automatically in-browser (which we will talk about in a bit), generating it on the server, or using an online tool (for example, decoder.link ). The CSR code is an encoded block of text which features information about the domain you wish to secure, the person or organization seeking to secure it, as well as the Public Key code that will be embedded in the SSL certificate issued by the Certificate Authority. The Private Key is generated at the same time as the CSR.
As you already learned above, the Public Key cannot work without a Private Key. So, if you cannot find the location or your Private Key once your SSL certificate is issued, you won’t be able to install it properly.
A Private Key is an integral part of having a working SSL, so it’s vital to know its location and to ensure that it’s kept in a safe place while you’re waiting for your SSL to be activated, whether that be on your private computer or the server your website is hosted on.
Now that you know about why a Private Key is so important and why you need to save it somewhere safe for SSL installation, let’s talk about how you can find your Private Key. We’ll cover Private Key location when it comes to three CSR generation methods: in-browser generation, generation via online tool, and generation on the server where your website is hosted.
This is when a CSR is generated on your browser, rather than on the server. On SSLs.com, this in-browser generator is called Auto-activate. This method can be used when activating any single-domain or wildcard SSL certificate. For multi-domain SSLs, you still need to use the server method.
While the Auto-activate method is pretty straightforward, the Private Key will be generated by your browser and saved to your computer rather than the server where your website is stored.
Therefore, it is vital that you remember the location where you save the Private Key on your device, as it won’t be stored in your SSLs.com account .
As we mentioned before, it can complicate things later on if you do not remember where you saved the Private Key.
If you already used this method to activate your SSL certificate and can’t remember where you saved the Private Key, unfortunately you will have to restart the process. You will need to generate a new CSR code and Private Key pair and then get your certificate reissued. Read this knowledgebase article to find out the process of getting your SSL reissued.
As an example, let’s go through the steps of how the Private Key is generated in-browser, and how it is downloaded.
If you don’t unzip the file during the process, it should be somewhere in your Downloads folder (or wherever your browser automatically saves files to). If you can’t find it, you will need to get your certificate reissued, and start the process again.
Another option for generating a CSR code is using an online tool. Generally, using third-party tools for this isn’t recommended because of the importance of keeping the Private Key confidential. Nobody else should have access to it. These kinds of tools should be used at your own discretion, and you should ensure they are trustworthy before you use them. If you choose to generate your CSR via an online generator, we recommend decoder.link .
When using this kind of tool, you will need to manually save both CSR and the Private Key codes to your computer by copying and pasting the keys to a text file. If you used this method and did not save the Private Key, you will need to generate a new CSR and reissue the SSL.
If you generated the CSR server-side, your Private Key will have been generated at the same time. In that case, the Private Key should be saved on the server already. The process of locating the Private Key is different for every server type. Click here for a list of different servers and instructions on how to find the Private Key on each of them.
By now it should be clear that finding your Private Key is dependent on where you generate your CSR. If you opted for SSLs Auto-activate or an online tool, the file should be saved somewhere on your personal device. If it was generated on the server, your Private Key should be stored safely there.
If you’re still having trouble with locating your Private Key, reach out to our customer service at any time and they can advise you on the best course of action to take.
