Cryptographic Keys
There are many ways to generate a cryptographic key for securing your Libre account.
This is a more advanced topic on key creation and management.
LIBRE Account Namesare protected by cryptographic keys. This is typical for all blockchain accounts. Libre uses the same elliptical curve cryptoraphy as Bitcoin (secp256k1). To generate your own keys you can use any of the following tools.
The benefit of generating your own seed phrase is that you will be able to import your account into Bitcoin Libre which provides a simple to use interface.
Libre-Specific Interfaces For Key Generation
We recommend using either Bitcoin Libre or our web tool to generate seed phrase and pub/private keys:
Libre Seed Generator https://explorer.libre.org/generate (Open-source)
Other Tools For Key Generation
However, Libre is compatible with any any Standard BIP 39/32/44 seed generator.
You can find many articles online about how to generate these or use one of the following tools.
The secp256k1 derivation path is 44'/194'/0'/0/0
