Prerequisites

1

Run the encrypt command

If you already have raw keys generated using another tool, these can also be used directly in either raw format or as Keystore files.

othentic-cli wallet encrypt --private-key <PRIVATE_KEY> --keystore-dir <KEYSTORE_PATH>

  • PRIVATE_KEY: A raw 32-byte private key to encrypt as keystore. If not supplied, CLI will auto-generate a new private key and proceed to encrypt it.

  • KEYSTORE_PATH: Path to the JSON-formatted Keystore file. If not supplied, a UUID-based filename will be auto-generated and saved under the .keystore directory.

2

Enter your password

This password will be used to decrypt the files. Make sure it's securely backed up.

3

Securely store the keystore file

The program will print the location and name of the created file.

It is recommended to create a secure backup of this file for easy recovery.
