Function:

Encrypting messages, or memos that are sent to other users on the network is made possible via the private memo key.

Restriction:

  • The private memo key's primary limitation is that it can only be used to encrypt messages exchanged amongst Steem platform members. The recipient who possesses the associated public memo key is the only person who can decrypt the encrypted messages.
  • Since the private memo key is required to view any encrypted memos that the account may receive, the account owner must keep it safe and secret.
  • To sum up, the Steem private memo key is an effective tool for encrypting messages transmitted between users on the platform, but it needs to be utilized carefully and securely to protect user data and accounts.
Private Active Key

Function:

  • The capacity to perform transactions and make changes to the account, including voting, posting content, moving money, and changing account details, is what the private active key is for.

Restriction:

  • Since the private active key gives the account owner complete power over the account, its primary constraint is that it must be kept private and secure.
  • There is a chance that an unauthorized user could get access to the account and carry out illicit transactions or changes if the private active key is misplaced or compromised.
  • The private active key in Steem is a critical component of account security and must be kept secure at all times.

Function:

  • Giving the account owner the utmost security and control over their account is the goal of the private owner key.
  • By using the private owner key, the account owner can modify other private keys (such the private active key and private posting key) as well as their account information.

Restriction:

  • Since the private owner key gives them complete authority over the account, including the ability to modify other private keys linked to the account, its primary constraint is that the account owner must keep it safe and secret.
  • When an account owner wants to make important changes to their account, including switching private keys or resetting their account in the event of a security breach, they should only utilize the private owner key.
  • It is not advisable to conduct transactions or post content using the private owner key as this could lead to money loss or other security issues.
Tron Public Key

Souce

Function:

  • On the TRON blockchain, a TRON account's public key serves as a unique identification. It is a lengthy string of characters and integers that is produced using the private key for the account.
  • While the private key is used to sign messages and transactions sent from the account, the public key is used to accept messages and transactions made to the account.

Restriction:

The primary restriction on the TRON public key is that it should not be used to sign messages or transactions because doing so could expose users to security concerns or result in the loss of cash.

  • The private key needs to be kept secret and secure at all times. It is the sole key that should be used to sign messages and transactions. An unauthorized user may be able to get access to the account and carry out unauthorized transactions or changes if a private key is lost or compromised.
  • It is crucial to remember that although while the public key is widely distributable, it should still be handled carefully and kept to the sole use of receiving messages and transactions sent to the account.

  • By using secure password managers, not writing down or disclosing my master password to anybody, and adhering to other best practices for password management I intend to keep it safe.
  • The password that is used to encrypt and safeguard the private keys connected to a Steem account is known as the master password.
  • A master password is required when you register for a new Steem account. This password is used to encrypt your private keys and safeguard the information associated with your account.
  • Since the master password is the only way to access the details of your Steem account, you are in charge of keeping it safe and secret.
  • You won't be able to access your Steem account or any associated cash, and there is no way to retrieve your master password.
