HD Wallet Accounts

// The Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) key creation and transfer protocol (BIP32), allows creating 
// child keys from parent keys in a hierarchy. Wallets using the HD protocol are called HD wallets.
// When using such a wallet for development of Ethereum Smart Contracts, it is often necessary
// to test code using multiple accounts to simulate different users. In such situations, 
// HDWalletAccounts can be used to quickly get an array of addresses and their corresponding
// public and private keys.

var hdkey = require('ethereumjs-wallet/hdkey');
