Private key Debug: Incorrect generation of private keys, system vulnerabilities and errors in calculating the order of the elliptic curve secp256k1 threats to the Bitcoin ecosystem
This paper analyzes cryptographic vulnerabilities related to incorrect generation of private keys in blockchain systems. One of the key issues is the incorrect calculation of the constant N, which determines the order of the group of points of the elliptic curve secp256k1, which can lead to the generation of invalid keys. This poses a serious security threat,…
