ethkey inspect <keyfile>

Print various information about the keyfile. Private key information can be printed by using the --private flag; make sure to use this feature with great caution!

ethkey signmessage <keyfile> <message/file>

Sign the message with a keyfile. It is possible to refer to a file containing the message. To sign a message contained in a file, use the --msgfile flag.

ethkey verifymessage <address> <signature> <message/file>

Verify the signature of the message. It is possible to refer to a file containing the message. To sign a message contained in a file, use the --msgfile flag.

ethkey changepassword <keyfile>

Change the password of a keyfile. use the --newpasswordfile to point to the new password file.

Passwords

JSON

In case you need to output the result in a JSON format, you shall by using the --json flag.
