# eth-crypto

Cryptographic javascript-functions for ethereum and tutorials on how to use them together with web3js and solidity.

## Tutorials

- **[Creating Keys and use them for ethereum-transactions](./tutorials/creating-transactions.md)**

  In this tutorial we will create an ethereum-identity and use it so send transactions to the blockchain.

- **[Sign and validate data with solidity](./tutorials/signed-data.md)**

  In this tutorial we will sign data in javascript and validate the signature inside of a smart-contract.

- **[Sending encrypted and signed data to other identites](./tutorials/encrypted-message.md)**  

  In this tutorial we will use the ethereum-identites and asymmetric cryptography to send an encrypted and signed message from Alice to Bob.

## Functions

### Install

```bash
  npm install eth-crypto --save
```

```javascript
// es6
import EthCrypto from 'eth-crypto';

// node
const EthCrypto = require('eth-crypto');
```
