## wif
[Wallet Import Format](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_import_format)
Type: [string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)
## ecc
### initialize
Initialize by running some self-checking code. This should take a
second to gather additional CPU entropy used during private key
generation.
Initialization happens once even if called multiple times.
Returns **[Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)**
### unsafeRandomKey
Does not pause to gather CPU entropy.
Returns **[Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)<PrivateKey>** test key
### randomKey
#### Parameters
- `cpuEntropyBits` **[number](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number)** gather additional entropy
from a CPU mining algorithm. This will already happen once by
default. (optional, default `0`)
#### Examples
```javascript
ecc.randomKey().then(privateKey => {
console.log('Private Key:\t', privateKey) // wif
console.log('Public Key:\t', ecc.privateToPublic(privateKey)) // ALAkey...
})
```
Returns **[Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)<[wif](#wif)>**
### seedPrivate
#### Parameters
- `seed` **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** any length string. This is private. The same
seed produces the same private key every time. At least 128 random
bits should be used to produce a good private key.
#### Examples
```javascript
ecc.seedPrivate('secret') === wif
```
Returns **[wif](#wif)**
### privateToPublic
#### Parameters
- `wif` **[wif](#wif)**
- `pubkey_prefix` **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** public key prefix (optional, default `'ALA'`)
#### Examples
```javascript
ecc.privateToPublic(wif) === pubkey
```
Returns **[pubkey](#pubkey)**
### isValidPublic
#### Parameters
- `pubkey` **[pubkey](#pubkey)** like ALAKey..
- `pubkey_prefix` **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** (optional, default `'ALA'`)
#### Examples
```javascript
ecc.isValidPublic(pubkey) === true
```
Returns **[boolean](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean)** valid
### isValidPrivate
#### Parameters
- `wif` **[wif](#wif)**
#### Examples
```javascript
ecc.isValidPrivate(wif) === true
```
Returns **[boolean](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean)** valid
### sign
Create a signature using data or a hash.
#### Parameters
- `data` **([string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) \| [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html))**
- `privateKey` **([wif](#wif) | PrivateKey)**
- `encoding` **[String](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** data encoding (if string) (optional, default `'utf8'`)
#### Examples
```javascript
ecc.sign('I am alive', wif)
```
Returns **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** string signature
### signHash
#### Parameters
- `dataSha256` **([String](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) \| [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html))** sha256 hash 32 byte buffer or string
- `privateKey` **([wif](#wif) | PrivateKey)**
- `encoding` **[String](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** dataSha256 encoding (if string) (optional, default `'hex'`)
Returns **[string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String)** string signature
### verify
Verify signed data.
#### Parameters
- `signature` **([string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) \| [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html))** buffer or hex string
- `data` **([string](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String) \| [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html))**
- `pubkey` **([pubkey](#pubkey) | PublicKey)**
- `encoding` (optional, default `'utf8'`)
- `hashData` **[boolean](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean)** sha256 hash data before verify (optional, default `true`)
#### Examples
```javascript
ecc.verify(signature, 'I am alive', pubkey) === true
