Abstract

SLIP-0010 describes how to derive private and public key pairs for curve types different from secp256k1.

Motivation

Some Trezor applications, in particular SSH and GPG, need different curve types, e.g., NIST P-256 and ed25519. For security reasons different private and public key pairs should be used for these curves. This SLIP describes how to derive a master private/public key for these curves by generalizing the derivation scheme used in BIP-0032.

Body

Trezor generates all keys from a BIP-0039 mnemonic or from a set of SLIP-0039 mnemonic shares and optionally a passphrase. Each of these standards specifies how to compute a seed from the mnemonic(s) and passphrase. From this seed Trezor can create several master keys, one for each curve. It uses a process similar and compatible with BIP-0032. For other curves it uses a different salt than BIP-0032. This avoids using the same private key for different elliptic curves with different orders.

Master key generation

We adapt the master key generation from BIP-0032. To use different private keys for different curves we use different keys for the HMAC hash that generates the master key. For the NIST P-256 curve the only other difference is the curve domain parameters. In the algorithm below we denote the group order of the elliptic curve by n. point(k) is the scalar multiplication of the curve generator by the scalar k. The operation (+) of two elements on the curve is the group point addition. For the ed25519 curve the private keys are no longer multipliers for the group generator; instead the hash of the private key is the multiplier. For this reason, our scheme for ed25519 does not support public key derivation and uses the produced hashes directly as private keys.

To avoid invalid master keys, the algorithm is retried with the intermediate hash as new seed if the key is invalid.

Let S be a seed byte sequence of 128 to 512 bits in length. This is the same as the seed byte sequence used in BIP-0032. The value of S should be the binary seed obtained from a BIP-0039 mnemonic and optional passphrase or it should be the master secret obtained from a set of SLIP-0039 mnemonics and optional passphrase.

  1. Calculate I = HMAC-SHA512(Key = Curve, Data = S)
  2. Split I into two 32-byte sequences, IL and IR.
  3. Use parse256(IL) as master secret key, and IR as master chain code.
  4. If curve is not ed25519 and IL is 0 or ≥ n (invalid key):
    • Set S := I and continue at step 2.

The supported curves are

  • Curve = "Bitcoin seed" for the secp256k1 curve (this is compatible with BIP-0032).
  • Curve = "Nist256p1 seed" for the NIST P-256 curve.
  • Curve = "ed25519 seed" for the ed25519 curve.

For ed25519, the last step always succeeds since every 256-bit number (even 0) is a valid private key.

Child key derivation (CKD) functions

Private and public key derivation for NIST P-256 is identical to the generation for secp256k1 but uses the domain parameters of that curve. We change BIP-32 to not fail if the resulting key is not valid but retry hashing until a valid key is found. For ed25519 only hardened key generation from Private parent key to private child key is supported.

Given a parent extended key and an index i, it is possible to compute the corresponding child extended key. The algorithm to do so depends on whether the child is a hardened key or not (or, equivalently, whether i ≥ 231), and whether we're talking about private or public keys.

Private parent key → private child key

Let n denote the order of the curve.

The function CKDpriv((kpar, cpar), i) → (ki, ci) computes a child extended private key from the parent extended private key:

  1. Check whether i ≥ 231 (whether the child is a hardened key).
    • If so (hardened child): let I = HMAC-SHA512(Key = cpar, Data = 0x00 || ser256(kpar) || ser32(i)). (Note: The 0x00 pads the private key to make it 33 bytes long.)
    • If not (normal child):
      • If curve is ed25519: return failure.
      • let I = HMAC-SHA512(Key = cpar, Data = serP(point(kpar)) || ser32(i)).
  2. Split I into two 32-byte sequences, IL and IR.
  3. The returned chain code ci is IR.
  4. If curve is ed25519: The returned child key ki is parse256(IL).
  5. If parse256(IL) ≥ n or parse256(IL) + kpar (mod n) = 0 (resulting key is invalid):
    • let I = HMAC-SHA512(Key = cpar, Data = 0x01 || IR || ser32(i) and restart at step 2.
  6. Otherwise: The returned child key ki is parse256(IL) + kpar (mod n).

The HMAC-SHA512 function is specified in RFC 4231.

Public parent key → public child key

This function always fails for ed25519 since normal derivation is not supported.

The function CKDpub((Kpar, cpar), i) → (Ki, ci) computes a child extended public key from the parent extended public key. It is only defined for non-hardened child keys.

  1. Check whether i ≥ 231 (whether the child is a hardened key).
    • If so (hardened child): return failure
    • If not (normal child): let I = HMAC-SHA512(Key = cpar, Data = serP(Kpar) || ser32(i)).
  2. Split I into two 32-byte sequences, IL and IR.
  3. The returned child key Ki is point(parse256(IL)) + Kpar.
  4. The returned chain code ci is IR.
  5. If parse256(IL) ≥ n or Ki is the point at infinity (the resulting key is invalid):
    • let I = HMAC-SHA512(Key = cpar, Data = 0x01 || IR || ser32(i)) and restart at step 2.
