Hi @hskang9, thanks for making a thread for this - it’s a good question that’s not covered well enough in the docs yet.
In go-libp2p, you can generate a PeerId using the IdFromPublicKey
helper method in go-libp2p-peer
. To get the public key, you can use GenerateKeyPair
to create a new key pair.
Once you have the PublicKey
and PrivateKey
generated, you can call IdFromPublicKey
to generate the peer id. To save the key for future use, call MarshalPublicKey
and MarshalPrivateKey
to serialize the keys to byte slices, which you can then save to disk and deserialize using the UnmarshalPublicKey
and UnmarshalPrivateKey
.
Let me know if that helps and please keep the questions coming
