Title: Has This Cold Wallet Key Generator Been Vetted?
Post by: Sage on June 09, 2017, 06:20:35 pm
On the documentation here...

http://docs.bitshares.eu/bitshares/user/security-cold.html

... is recommended this cold wallet key generater here...

https://github.com/xeroc/jshares/archive/master.zip

My question is has it been vetted?

Does it generate enough entropy?

I'm recommending creating new disposable accounts in the bitshares GUI, then pinching the keys created by the Bitshares software for those new accounts.

I imagine "pinching" means deleting the permissions on the accounts.  If so, I'd need to add some public keys generated offline somehow first.

How's the best way to generate those public/private keys right now, offline?  Is it possible to generate them with on offline version of Bitshares?

As near as I can tell that paperwallet has to be online to generate the keys.  Is there a way to generate them offline?

http://paperwallet.bitshares.eu/ seems to be calling bootstrap, jquery, and font-awesome js/css remotely.

If those are moved locally is there anything else you can see that would have to be moved locally to get http://paperwallet.bitshares.eu/ to generate keys on a cold computer?
