bas-vk b59c8399fb internal/ethapi: add personal_sign and fix eth_sign to hash message (#2940 ) This commit includes several API changes: - The behavior of eth_sign is changed. It now accepts an arbitrary message, prepends the well-known string \x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n<length of message> hashes the result using keccak256 and calculates the signature of the hash. This breaks backwards compatability! - personal_sign(hash, address [, password]) is added. It has the same semantics as eth_sign but also accepts a password. The private key used to sign the hash is temporarily unlocked in the scope of the request. - personal_recover(message, signature) is added and returns the address for the account that created a signature.	8 years ago

This commit includes several API changes:

- The behavior of eth_sign is changed. It now accepts an arbitrary
  message, prepends the well-known string

        \x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n<length of message>

  hashes the result using keccak256 and calculates the signature of
  the hash. This breaks backwards compatability!
  
- personal_sign(hash, address [, password]) is added. It has the same
  semantics as eth_sign but also accepts a password. The private key
  used to sign the hash is temporarily unlocked in the scope of the
  request.
  
- personal_recover(message, signature) is added and returns the
  address for the account that created a signature.
