SLIP-10: Deterministic key generation

Warning

slip-10 crate has been restructured and renamed into hd-wallet. slip-10 is not likely to receive any future updates. Please, consider switching to successor library.

In order to migrate to the successor hd-wallet v0.5, include it into Cargo.toml:

hd-wallet = "0.5"

Then you'll need to change slip_10:: references in your code to hd_wallet::. For instance, slip_10::HardenedIndex becomes hd_wallet::HardenedIndex.

The functions for child wallet derivation has been moved. Derivation algorithm that is used in slip_10 crate corresponds to hd_wallet::slip10_like. E.g. if you were deriving a child key using slip_10::derive_child_public_key, now you need to use hd_wallet::slip10_like::derive_child_public_key instead.

If you have any problems with migration, don't hesitate to reach out to us in Discord #lockness room.

SLIP10 is a specification for implementing HD wallets. It aims at supporting many curves while being compatible with BIP32.

The implementation is based on generic-ec library that provides generic elliptic curve arithmetic. The crate is no_std and no_alloc friendly.

Curves support

Implementation currently does not support ed25519 curve. All other curves are supported: both secp256k1 and secp256r1. In fact, implementation may work with any curve, but only those are covered by the SLIP10 specs.

The crate also re-exports supported curves in supported_curves module (requires enabling a feature), but any other curve implementation will work with the crate.

Features

• std: enables std library support (mainly, it just implements Error trait for the error types)
• curve-secp256k1 and curve-secp256r1 add curve implementation into the crate supported_curves module

Examples

Derive a master key from the seed, and then derive a child key m/1H/10:

use slip_10::supported_curves::Secp256k1;

let seed = b"16-64 bytes of high entropy".as_slice();
let master_key = slip_10::derive_master_key::<Secp256k1>(seed)?;
let master_key_pair = slip_10::ExtendedKeyPair::from(master_key);

let child_key_pair = slip_10::derive_child_key_pair_with_path(
    &master_key_pair,
    [1 + slip_10::H, 10],
);
