One of two sets of private and public cryptographic keys that each account
has, with the private view key required to view all transactions related to
the account.

Monero features an opaque blockchain (with an explicit allowance system
called the @view-key), in sharp contrast with transparent blockchains used
by any other cryptocurrency not based on CryptoNote. Thus, Monero is said to
be "private, optionally transparent".

Every Monero address has a private viewkey which can be shared. By sharing
a viewkey, a person is allowing access to view every incoming transaction
for that address. However, outgoing transactions cannot be reliably viewed
as of June 2017. Therefore, the balance of a Monero address as shown via a
viewkey should not be relied upon.
