The No EC-Multiply BIP38 format is a method for encrypting private keys so they can be stored or shared securely. BIP38 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 38) was developed to standardize the way private keys are encrypted using a passphrase, offering a layer of security against unauthorized access.

No EC-Multiply BIP38 is the simpler of the two BIP38 encryption methods. Unlike EC-Multiply, which is designed for batch generation of encrypted keys, No EC-Multiply BIP38 encrypts each key individually, making it suitable for manual entry and less dependent on complex computer operations. This method uses AES encryption to encode the private key with a passphrase, protecting it even if the physical document or digital file is exposed.

Here are the steps:

  1. Select Cryptocurrency

  2. Select Network

  3. Select Mode

Convert Private Key to WIF

  1. Enter Private Key

  2. Select WIF Type

  3. Click Convert

Output
{
    "cryptocurrency": "...",
    "network": "...",
    "wif_type": "...",
    "private_key": "...",
    "wif": "..."
}

Encrypt WIF

  1. Enter Wallet Import Format (WIF)

  2. Enter Passphrase

  3. Click Encrypt

Output
{
    "cryptocurrency": "...",
    "network": "...",
    "passphrase": "...",
    "wif": "...",
    "wif_type": "...",
    "encrypted_wif": "..."
}

Decrypt WIF

  1. Enter Encrypted WIF

  2. Enter Passphrase

  3. Click Decrypt

Output
{
    "wif": "...",
    "private_key": "...",
    "wif_type": "...",
    "public_key": "...",
    "public_key_type": "...",
    "seed": ...,
    "address": "...",
    "lot": ...,
    "sequence": ...
