All the knowledge presented below is my personal notes taken during the process of reading this book, intended for research and study purposes. All copyrights belong to the author Andreas Antonopoulos of the book Mastering Ethereum: Building Smart Contracts and DApps.
Ownership of ether by EOAs is established through digital private keys, Ethereum addresses, and digital signatures.
Account addresses are derived directly from private keys: a private key uniquely determines a single Ethereum address, also known as an account.
Ethereum transactions require a valid digital signature to be included in the blockchain.
Ethereum addresses are unique identifiers that are derived from public keys or contracts using the Keccak-256 one-way hash function
Ethereum addresses are hexadecimal numbers, identifiers derived from the last 20 bytes of the Keccak-256 hash of the public key
