Icon LinkEncrypting and Storing Keys

The code below shows how to:

  • Encrypt and store your key using a master password.
  • Ensure that the key can be retrieved later with the proper credentials.
let dir = std::env::temp_dir();
let keystore = Keystore::new(&dir);
 
let phrase =
    "oblige salon price punch saddle immune slogan rare snap desert retire surprise";
 
// Create a key from the mnemonic phrase using the default derivation path.
let key = SecretKey::new_from_mnemonic_phrase_with_path(phrase, DEFAULT_DERIVATION_PATH)?;
let password = "my_master_password";
 
// Encrypt and store the key on disk. It can be recovered using `Keystore::load_key`.
let uuid = keystore.save_key(key, password, thread_rng())?;
 
// Recover key from disk
let recovered_key = keystore.load_key(&uuid, password)?;
