I was trying to implement this video in Python 3
But the issue is that, it was implemented in Python 2
So I tried to implement this with binascii instead of encode/decode. However I keep getting a binascii.Error: Odd-length string at line 22.
How to I correct this? Or if this is completely broken, then is there any other libraries that work better for python 3?
This is working for me:
import os
import ecdsa
import binascii
import hashlib
private_key = os.urandom(32)
PK_EN = binascii.hexlify(private_key)
print("Your Key" + " " + str(PK_EN))
PK_CON = binascii.unhexlify(PK_EN)
sk = ecdsa.SigningKey.from_string(PK_CON, curve=ecdsa.SECP256k1)
vk = sk.verifying_key
msg = binascii.hexlify(b'Hello')
sign_msg = sk.sign(msg)
assert vk.verify(sign_msg, msg)
public_key = b'04' + binascii.hexlify(vk.to_string())
print(public_key)
ripemd160 = hashlib.new('ripemd160')
ripemd160.update(hashlib.sha256(binascii.unhexlify(public_key)).digest())
I've changed the way you concatenated the public key with the prefix, and the call to the ripmd160.update, since it was expecting a string, not a Hash object.
