Encrypt message with bitcoin public key, and decrypt with the corresponding private key
Electrum, Electron Cash and ElectrumSV have an implementation under Tools --> Encrypt/decrypt message
This is a GoLang version of the feature, compatible with Electrum/Electron Cash/ElectrumSV
Node.js version please refer to monkeylord/electrum-ecies
$ go get github.com/gitzhou/bitcoin-ecies
Below is a demo, or check the unit test code for an example
package main
import (
"encoding/hex"
"fmt"
"github.com/gitzhou/bitcoin-ecies"
)
func main() {
// Public key, compressed and uncompressed are both supported
publicKey, _ := hex.DecodeString("04866269bf6c2d71968ec46797b91b207affeea74dbba1f181ff354abbfbdfe9327c58d1c0681e328f555f5aa6ec2e7543baf2b3f89ce90720d617da710ce1ea93")
// Private key Wallet Import Format(WIF): 5KdBypVKceVrUNbWmxDJALGJ9fo9rwNYTjppps8gQb9C8VHUXzr
// Transfer to HEX with https://gobittest.appspot.com/PrivateKey
privateKey, _ := hex.DecodeString("ee3231b5deea48b619814d72a6e1aa04a9f521df281afad5ada89f5393941b1c")
message := "hello world"
encrypted, err := bitcoin_ecies.EncryptMessage(message, publicKey)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err.Error())
}
fmt.Println(encrypted)
plain, err := bitcoin_ecies.DecryptMessage(encrypted, privateKey)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err.Error())
}
if message != plain {
fmt.Println("data mismatch after encrypt and decrypt")
}
}Appreciated and THANK YOU 😄
