Private Key

A private key is a confidential code used in digital security that grants access to your cryptocurrency wallet or encrypted data. Think of it like a secure password or a master key that allows you to unlock and manage your digital assets. It's essential to keep it secret because anyone with your private key can access or transfer your funds or information. The private key works together with a public key, which you can share openly (like an account number), but the private key must stay private to ensure the security of your digital assets.
