@section Accounts

|
Accounts are private keys in the signer component keyed by "addresses," a one-way transformation of a public key. Data can be signed by using the account as identifier for corresponding RPC requests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any account to be managed by @code{cic-eth} must be created by the corresponding task. This is because @code{cic-eth} creates a @code{nonce} entry for each newly created account, and guarantees that every nonce will only be used once in its threaded environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The calling code receives the account address upon creation. It never receives or has access to the private key.

@subsection Signer RPC
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The signer is expected to handle a subset of the standard JSON-RPC:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
@table @code
|
||
|
|
@item personal_newAccount(password)
|
||
|
|
Creates a new account, returning the account address.
|
||
|
|
@item eth_signTransactions(tx_dict)
|
||
|
|
Sign the transaction represented as a dictionary.
|
||
|
|
@item eth_sign(address, message)
|
||
|
|
Signs an arbtirary message with the standard Ethereum prefix.
