Choose password: Low security

Your "regular" encryption password, also for routine encryption on the host computer

You probably already have a password like this: one you would use to encrypt your most sensitive files before saving to shared media, sending over the Internet, or storing on a cloud-based backup.  Therefore this password has two requirements:

• it has never been transmitted over, or stored in, cleartext on the Internet
• length & complexity enough to hash to about 2^128 possible values (at least 20 apparently random characters)

This password will be used to encrypt:

➤ Documents you save on the host computer to be opened in the Frankenwallet (e.g. data to use in command scripts, with your private transaction details)

➤ Documents you save on the Frankenwallet which you will need easy access to, and will back up from, the host computer (i.e. of relatively low security: without private keys or seed words)

➤ Archives of these "low security files" (examples for the Cardano blockchain) stored on the host computer:

• stake pool maintenance files:
  • delegation certificate (delegation.cert)
  • pool certificate (pool.cert)
  • your pool stake address, key, and certificate (stake.addr, stake.vkey, stake.cert)
  • KES and VRF verification keys (kes.vkey, vrf.vkey)
  • cold counter and cold key pair verification key (cold.counter, cold.vkey)
    • (this term "cold" has a slightly different meaning than the general one here)
• addresses with verification keys for:
  • your pool pledge (payment.addr, payment.vkey)
• any other Cardano address (*.addr)
• the public / verification component of any key pair (*.vkey)
