Abstract:

A method is proposed to generate a Bitcoin private key by using a physical key in conjunction with image recognition software and a PIN.  Use edge detection software applied to incoming video feed to convert the shape of a physical key into an equation that describes the key.  The hash of the key's equation plus a user generated five digit pin can then be used to create a Bitcoin private key.
