This package contains a passkey signature verifier, that can be used as an owner for a Safe, compatible with versions 1.3.0+.
Passkey support with the Safe is provided by implementing SignatureValidators that can verify WebAuthn signatures on-chain, the underlying standard used by passkeys, and be used as owners for Safe accounts. At a high level, this works by:
- Deploying a signer instance using the SafeWebAuthnSignerFactory, this will create a contract instance at a deterministic address using
CREATE2based the parameters of the WebAuthn credential: the public key coordinates and whichecverifyimplementations to use. - Set the deployed signer as an owner for a Safe.
Safe account being standard agnostic, new user flows such as custom signature verification logic can be added/removed as and when required. By leveraging this flexibility to support customizing Safe account, Passkeys-based execution flow can be enabled on a Safe. The contracts in this package use ERC-1271 standard and WebAuthn standard to allow signature verification for WebAuthn credentials using the secp256r1 curve. The contracts in this package are designed to be used with precompiles for signature verification in the supported networks or use any verifier contract implementing the EIP-7212 interface as a fallback mechanism. In their current state, the contracts are tested with Fresh Crypto Lib (FCL) P-256 implementation and the Daimo P-256 verifier.
The below sections give a high-level overview of the contracts present in this package.
A proxy contract is uniquely deployed for each Passkey signer. The signer information i.e, Public key co-ordinates, Verifier address, Singleton address are immutable. All calls to the signer are forwarded to the SafeWebAuthnSignerSingleton contract.
Use of SafeWebAuthnSignerProxy provides gas savings compared to the whole contract deployment for each signer creation. Both SafeWebAuthnSignerProxy and SafeWebAuthnSignerSingleton use no storage slots to avoid storage access violations defined in ERC-4337. The details on gas savings can be found in this PR. This non-standard proxy contract appends signer information i.e., public key co-ordinates, and verifier data to the calldata before forwarding call to the singleton contract.
SafeWebAuthnSignerSingleton contract is a singleton contract that implements the ERC-1271 interface to support signature verification, enabling signature data to be forwarded from a Safe to the WebAuthn library. This contract expects public key co-ordinates, and verifier address to be appended by the caller inspired from ERC-2771.
The SafeWebAuthnSignerFactory contract deploys the SafeWebAuthnSignerProxy contract with the public key coordinates and verifier information. The factory contract also supports signature verification for the public key and signature information without deploying the signer contract. Using ISafeSignerFactory interface and this factory contract address, new signers can be deployed.
This library is used for generating signing message, hashing it and forwarding the call to the verifier contract. The WebAuthn library defines Signature struct containing authenticatorData, clientDataFields, followed by ECDSA signature's r and s components. The authenticatorData and clientDataFields required for generating the signing message. The bytes signature received in verifySignature(...) function is cast to Signature struct so, the caller has to take into account formatting the signature bytes as expected by the WebAuthn library.
The below code snippet shows signature encoding for verification using WebAuthn library.
bytes authenticatorData = ...;
string clientDataFields = ...;
uint256 r = ...;
uint256 s = ...;
// Encode the signature data
bytes memory signature = abi.encode(authenticatorData, clientDataFields, r, s);P256 is a library for P256 signature verification with contracts that follows the EIP-7212 EC verify precompile interface. This library defines a custom type Verifiers, which encodes two addresses into a single uint176. The first address (2 bytes) is a precompile address dedicated to verification, and the second (20 bytes) is a fallback address. This setup allows the library to support networks where the precompile is not yet available, seamlessly transitioning to the precompile when it becomes active, while relying on a fallback contract address in the meantime. Note that only 2 bytes are needed to represent the precompile address, as the reserved range for precompile contracts is between address 0x0000 and 0xffff which fits into 2 bytes.
The verifiers value can be computed with the following code:
uint16 precompile = ...;
address fallbackVerifier = ...;
P256.Verifiers = P256.Verifiers.wrap(
(uint176(precompile) << 160) + uint176(uint160(fallbackVerifier))
);pnpm installpnpm test

⚠️ Make sure to use the correct commit when deploying the contracts. Any change (even comments) within the contract files will result in different addresses. The tagged versions used by the Safe team can be found in the releases.
This will deploy the contracts deterministically and verify the contracts on etherscan and sourcify.

Note that the FCLP256Verifier contract use the legacy bytecode optimizer in order to prevent performance regressions caused by the new IR optimizer. The EVM version is set to paris because not all our target networks support the opcodes introduced in the Shanghai EVM upgrade.
It is possible to use the NODE_URL env var to connect to any EVM-based network via an RPC endpoint. This connection can then be used with the custom network.
E.g. to deploy the contract suite on that network, you would run npm run deploy-all custom.
The resulting addresses should be on all networks the same.
Note: The address will vary if the contract code changes or a different Solidity version is used.
pnpm run benchThe test cases in userstories directory demonstrates the usage of the passkey module in different scenarios like deploying a Safe account with passkey module enabled, executing a userOp with a Safe using Passkey signer, etc.
