Wallet and Security Basics: Private Keys and Addresses
· A public key is derived from a private key through elliptic curve operations. This process is one-way, so deriving a private key from a public key is not feasible in practice.
· Most Bitcoin addresses are created by hashing and then encoding a public key or script. Common formats begin with 1, 3, or bc1.
