Generating private and public key in PHP

patrickdeshpande

Hey,

I was trying to generate private and public keys in PHP but haven't had any luck so far. I was using a few EdDSA libraries but the format or key size seemed to be off in whatever I tried. I was wondering if any of you guys have successfully generated the keypair in PHP. Thanks.

I'm working on a (very beta) PHP Stellar library at: https://github.com/zulucrypto/stellar-api

You may specifically be interested in this code: https://github.com/zulucrypto/stellar-api/blob/master/src/AddressableKey.php#L32

The above should be called with 32 bytes of securely-generated random data. If you're using php7 or later, you can use random_bytes(32)

zcc Wow this is awesome! Thanks, I was spending all day trying to get crc-xmodem to work in PHP. Do you have an address I can donate to? Really appreciate this.

patrickdeshpande No problem, happy to help!

I've added a donation address to the github repo if it really was helpful to you, but don't feel obligated!
