V3 keystore

This example demonstrates how to encrypt and decrypt keystore V3.

Import necessary classes from the Web3j and kaia libraries(web3j-ext).

Define the keystore password, this password is used for decrypting the keystores

Read keystores from json files, for example we have a list of different accounts: "RoleBased_V4.json", "Multi_V4.json" and "Public_V4.json"

Decrypt the keystore with its password.

After decryped, you can access the public and private key.

KaiaCredentials credentials = KaiaWelletUtils.loadJsonKaiaCredentials(password, json);
System.out.println("Load KaiaCredentials from keystore file: " + keyFile);
String address = credentials.getAddress();
String privateKey = credentials.getEcKeyPair().getPrivateKey().toString(16);
System.out.println("\tKaiaCredential : " + "Address: " + address + ", Private Key: 0x" + privateKey);
}
}

InputStream inputStream = DecryptKeystoreV3Example.class.getResourceAsStream(resourcePath);
