The node keeps an encrypted copy of your private key. You find your keys in this file: _build/prod/rel/amoveo_core/keys/keys.db

The decrypted copy is only stored in RAM.

You can generate a new private key this way: (warning! this deletes your old private key!!!)

keys:new("password").

To secure your node so no one can sign transactions, you can either turn off the node, or you can do this command:

keys:lock().

To unlock your node so that you can start signing transactions again, do this:

keys:unlock("password").

To check if you node is locked:

keys:status().

To manually sign a transaction:

keys:sign(Transactions, AccountRoot).

To manually sign raw binary data:

keys:raw_sign(<<"binary data">>).

To find out your pubkey in the internal binary format:

keys:pubkey().

To find your pubkey in the external base64 encoded format:

api:pubkey().

To calculate a shared_secret with a partner, you need a copy of their pubkey:

keys:shared_secret(Pubkey).

You can set the password for encryption like this:

keys:change_password("old_password", "new_password").

The default password on a new node is "", the empty string.
