## Methods
### account_new
#### Create new password protected account
The signer will generate a new private key, encrypts it according to [web3 keystore spec](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Web3-Secret-Storage-Definition) and stores it in the keystore directory.
The signer will generate a new private key, encrypt it according to [web3 keystore spec](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Web3-Secret-Storage-Definition) and store it in the keystore directory.
The client is responsible for creating a backup of the keystore. If the keystore is lost there is no method of retrieving lost accounts.

- `from` [address]: account to send the transaction from
- `to` [address]: receiver account. If omitted or `0x`, will cause contract creation.
- `gas` [number]: maximum amount of gas to burn

- `data` [data:optional]: input data

3. method signature [string:optional]
1. method signature [string:optional]
- The method signature, if present, is to aid decoding the calldata. Should consist of `methodname(paramtype,...)`, e.g. `transfer(uint256,address)`. The signer may use this data to parse the supplied calldata, and show the user. The data, however, is considered totally untrusted, and reliability is not expected.
