Personal Sign #

We introduced the personal_sign method in March 2017 with this blog post.

It was designed to alleviate security concerns from [cfx_sign](./CFX_Sign), by only allowing the signing of a hash prefixed by a pre-defined string ("\x19Conflux Signed Message:\n").

The method signature is personal_sign(hash, address).

You can read our implementation here, or read a working client-side example here, or read a guide to verifying these signatures in solidity.
