How can you create an N bit uniformly random ECDSA private key from indepentend dice rolls, that to be inputed in phython console.
Let me explain. I would like to create a private key just from combining dice rolls, with 6 sided dice.
You can create a random private key already in python with:
import ecdsa
privkey = ecdsa.util.randrange(pow(2, n))
Where the n is the number of bits, so if n=160, that would be a classic 160 bit private key, which would be as strong as an unspent bitcoin address (no need to utilize the full 256 bits).
Of course this relies on the RNG of the computer, which can be weak. So I want to do it manually with dices.
A perfect 6 sided dice, has an entropy of 2.5849625007, so I need to roll 62 times a dice, or less times multiple dices.
Rolling 62 times gives us an entropy of 160.2676750447, which wouldbe equivalent to what the code above would give us, except that this one is manual.
Alright, so we have 62 random numbers ranging from (1-6), the question is, how to combine these 62 random numbers into an ECDSA compatible integer like the one generated above with that script?
I need a python code for that, thank you.
