Hello,

I have created a paper wallet. I have a encrypted private key with password and a bitcoin public address.

using bitaddress.org, Ihave tried to decrypt the private key with password (doing this offline) and this worked fine : I recover the BTC address and the private key with no encryption...

However, I am wondering if this is enough to make sure that my private key is valid?

thanks

IMHO, a good way to cross verify is using https://coinb.in. Download the source from Github and open it offline. Then provide your private key in WIF to see if that corresponds to the same bitcoin address as generated by bitaddress.org.
