If a project uses tixl-types, you have to initialize it accordingly (see https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules).
In the project working directory run
git submodule init
git submodule update
There are several keys used with the Tixl DAG to encrypt block data:
-
Private AES key to encrypt block data
-
Public and private Signature keys to sign blocks
-
Public and private NTRU keys to encrypt certain block fields
Usage of the private AES key
-
Encrypt keys on the opening block for the accountchain
-
Encrypt keys on the opening block for other stealthchains
-
Encrypt block fields for the sender
Usage of the signature keys
-
The private key is used to sign blocks on the blockchain it belongs to (accountchains and stealthchains)
-
One keypair belongs to one blockchain
-
The public key is send along a transaction
-
The public key is used to query for a blockchain (therefor it is the blockchain address)
Usage of the NTRU keys
-
One keypair is used per wallet for all the related blockchains
-
Encrypt send block fields for the receiver
The TXL address is the public signature key of the accountchain. It is encoded in base58. Let's see an example address:

A wallet might lookup the corresponding NTRU public key to send funds to this address.
