BIP32 Support

We support generating signatures for a BIP32 child key. Perform keygen once, and generate signatures for all BIP32 child keys!

Perform Derive Child Public-Key

---

• Call SilentShard.ECDSA.deriveChildPublicKey() or SilentShard.EdDSA.deriveChildPublicKey() which returns Result of Success with Child Public-Key ByteArray or Failure with exception.

ECDSA

Example.kt

suspend fun deriveChildPublicKeyUsingKeyshare(
    keyId: String,
    duoSession: DuoSession,
): ByteArray {
    return withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
        //signature example for context
        duoSession.sign(
            keyId = keyId,
            message = messageHash,
            derivationPath = "m" // This is the default, use your desired path here. For e.g. 'm/1/2'
        ).getOrThrow()


        // child public key derivation runs on keyshare bytes — read them from your
        // StorageClient by keyId.
        val keyshare = (storageClient.read(keyId) as ReconcileStoreDao).currentKeyshare!!
        SilentShard.ECDSA.deriveChildPublicKey(
            keyshare = keyshare,
            derivationPath = "m/1"
        ).getOrThrow()
    }
}

EdDSA

Example.kt

suspend fun deriveChildPublicKeyUsingKeyshare(
    keyId: String,
    duoSession: DuoSession,
): ByteArray {
    return withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
        //signature example for context
        duoSession.sign(
            keyId = keyId,
            message = messageHash,
            derivationPath = "m" // This is the default, use your desired path here. For e.g. 'm/1/2'
        ).getOrThrow()


        // child public key derivation runs on keyshare bytes — read them from your
        // StorageClient by keyId.
        val keyshare = (storageClient.read(keyId) as ReconcileStoreDao).currentKeyshare!!
        SilentShard.EdDSA.deriveChildPublicKey(
            keyshare = keyshare,
            derivationPath = "m/1"
        ).getOrThrow()
    }
}

• When duoSession.sign() is called with a derivationPath, the signature is generated for the specified BIP32 derivation path.
• derivationPath is a string that specifies the path to the child key. It defaults to 'm' (no derivation) if not provided.
