NetKeystore 1.0.0

NetKeystore

The library is available as a NuGet package here.

Introduction

This is a light-weight library that's only responsible for dealing with Ethereum keystore files written in C#.

Using the Package

Adding to your project

Add the package by using the following command:

$ dotnet add package NetKeystore

Using it in your code

First, obtain a KeystoreReader instance from a Keystore object, a string containing the JSON content or a file name:

var reader = KeystoreReader.FromFile("/path/to/keystore");

Then, use the TryDecrypt function to decrypt the keystore file:

reader.TryDecrypt("ASDF12345", out var privateKey);

The function returns false if the passphase provided is incorrect, or throws an exception if the cipher or kdf is not supported (yet).

Limitations

Currently the functionality of the library is quite limited with the following known limitations:

• Can only decrypt keystore files; no way to creat one
• Only supports scrypt as the key derivation function

I will try to perfect the library in the future, or you can help me do it together 😉
