A wallet is a pair of asymmetric keys (a public key + a private key).
The purpose of this RFC is to define a standard, inter-operable and secure file format for any DUBP wallet.
The purpose of this RFC is to define a standard, inter-operable and secure format for any [DUBP] wallet.
[DUBP](https://git.duniter.org/nodes/common/doc/blob/master/rfc/0010_Duniter_Blockchain_Protocol_V12.md) only deals with public keys and signatures.
This RFC does not define a file format, it is agnostic of the way the wallet is stored on the disk.
## DUBP
[DUBP] only deals with public keys and signatures.
A public key is always paired with a private key, which DUBP will never deal with.
