January 21, 2017 Addresses Campbell R. Harvey Duke University, NBER and Investment Strategy Advisor, Man Group, plc

2 Addresses Bitcoin uses Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm* (ECDSA) for signing transactions. I have additional material on EC encryption in a handout called Cryptography 101. Here are the steps. We first start with the ECDSA generating a private and public key. This is the key pair. You can sign transactions with the private key Anyone with your public key can verify the signature is valid The bitcoin address is linked to these keys Specifically, ECDSA sec256k1. See Campbell R. Harvey 2017

3 Addresses Bitcoin addresses are like random numbers
If two people have the same address, this is called a collision Given the current implementation, the probability of collision is miniscule Campbell R. Harvey 2017

4 Addresses 1. Start with private ECDSA key
2. Take public key generated with it* 3. Perform SHA-256 on public key 18E14A7B6A307F426A94F E7C8E774E7F9A47E2C2035DB29A AD64A87AE8A2FE83C1AF1A8403CB53F53E486D8511DAD8A04887E5B23522CD A299FA9E ABC11A1DF38855ED6F2EE187E9C582BA6 600FFE422B4E00731A59557A5CCA46CC A447BDB2D98D4B408 Campbell R. Harvey 2017 *65 bytes, 1 byte 0x04, 32 bytes corresponding to x-coordinate; 32 bytes for y coordinate

5 Addresses 4. Perform RIPEMD-160 hash on the result of SHA-256
5. Add version number byte in front of RIPEMD-160 D E5E39F86A0D273BEE D E5E39F86A0D273BEE 6. Perform SHA-256 on extended RIPEMD-160 445C7A8007A93D BB320A8FE2DEBD2AE1B47F0F50BC10BAE845C094 Campbell R. Harvey 2017

6 Addresses 7. Perform SHA-256 on the previous SHA-256
8. Take first 4 bytes of 2nd SHA-256 (address checksum) 9. Add 4 checksum bytes to extended RIPEMD-160 in stage 5 (25 byte bitcoin address) D61967F63C7DD183914A4AE452C9F6AD5D462CE3D B107615C1A8A30 D61967F6 D E5E39F86A0D273BEED61967F6 Campbell R. Harvey 2017

7 Addresses 16UwLL9Risc3QfPqBUvKofHmBQ7wMtjvM
10. Convert to base58 (upper and lower case letters, numbers, excluding 0,O,I,l) Voilà. The bitcoin address. 16UwLL9Risc3QfPqBUvKofHmBQ7wMtjvM Campbell R. Harvey 2017
