Rather than the main package being responsible for opening the address
and transaction managers, the namespaces of these components are
passed as parameters to the wallet.Open function.
Additionally, the address manager Options struct has been split into
two: ScryptOptions which holds the scrypt parameters needed during
passphrase key derivation, and OpenCallbacks which is only passed to
the Open function to allow the caller to provide additional details
during upgrades.
These changes are being done in preparation for a notification server
in the wallet package, with callbacks passed to the Open and Create
functions in waddrmgr and wtxmgr. Before this could happen, the
wallet package had to be responsible for actually opening the managers
from their namespaces.
If the account number to name index mapped the default account name to
an alias, the upgrade would not succeed and the upgrade would be
aborted (and rolled back).
This became a problem for upgrading old (pre-v3) wallets since the v3
upgrade did not rename the previous "" account to "default", but
instead just created an alias.
Fix tested by @dajohi, who ran into this issue with a wallet upgrade
from an older keystore version.
Rather than disallowing the default account to be renamed as was
proposed in #245 (and implemented in #246), the default account name
is no longer considered a reserved name by the address manager.
Instead, it is simply the initial name used for the first initial
account.
A database upgrade removes any additional aliases for the default
account in the database. This prevents a lookup for some name which
is not an account name from mapping to the default account
unexpectedly (potentially preventing incorrect account usage from the
RPC server due to bad iteraction with default parameters).
All unset account names in a JSON-RPC request are expected to be set
nil by btcjson. This behavior depends on btcsuite/btcd#399.
Additionally, the manager no longer considers the wildcard * to be a
reserved account name. Due to poor API decisions, the RPC server
overloads the meaning of account fields to optionally allow referring
to all accounts at a time, or a single account. This is not a address
manager responsibility, though, as a future cleaner API should not use
multiple differet meanings for the same field across multiple
requests. Therefore, don't burden down future APIs with this quirk
and prevent incorrect wildcard usage from the RPC server.
Closes#245.
This commit makes the creation and updating of the address manager more
explicit so it's easier to upgrade in the future.
In particular, rather than treating the initial creation as an upgrade by
relying on creating the initial buckets on the fly on each load, the code
now explicitly provides distinct create and upgrade paths that are invoked
from the Create and Open functions, respectively.
It also adds some commented out sample code to illustrate how upgrades
should be done and a check to ensure bumping the version number without
writing upgrade code results in a new error, ErrUpgrade, being returned.
Finally, a test has been added for the new functionality.
This contains the APIs to create and retrieve Voting Pools and Series (with
public/private keys) from a walletdb namespace, plus the generation of deposit
addresses (using m-of-n multi-sig P2SH scripts according to the series
configuration).
This commit converts the waddrmgr package to use the new walletdb package
semantics.
Since waddrmgr no longer controls the database, it is unable to make a
copy of the database and return it as the old ExportWatchingOnly function
required. As a result, it has been renamed to ConvertToWatchingOnly and
it now modifies the namespace provided to it. The idea is that the caller
which does control the database can now make a copy of the database, get
the waddrmgr namespace in the database copy and invoke the new function
to modify it. This also works well with other packages that might also
need to make modifications for watching-only mode.
In addition, the following changes are made:
- All places that worked with database paths now work with the
walletdb.Namespace interface
- The managerTx code is replaced to use the walletdb.Tx interface
- The code which checks if the manager already exists is updated to work
with the walletdb.Namespace interface
- The LatestDbVersion constant is now LatestMgrVersion since it no longer
controls the database
This commit implements a new secure, scalable, hierarchical deterministic
wallet address manager package.
The following is an overview of features:
- BIP0032 hierarchical deterministic keys
- BIP0043/BIP0044 multi-account hierarchy
- Strong focus on security:
- Fully encrypted database including public information such as
addresses as well as private information such as private keys and
scripts needed to redeem pay-to-script-hash transactions
- Hardened against memory scraping through the use of actively clearing
private material from memory when locked
- Different crypto keys used for public, private, and script data
- Ability for different passphrases for public and private data
- Scrypt-based key derivation
- NaCl-based secretbox cryptography (XSalsa20 and Poly1305)
- Multi-tier scalable key design to allow instant password changes
regardless of the number of addresses stored
- Import WIF keys
- Import pay-to-script-hash scripts for things such as multi-signature
transactions
- Ability to export a watching-only version which does not contain any
private key material
- Programmatically detectable errors, including encapsulation of errors
from packages it relies on
- Address synchronization capabilities
This commit only provides the implementation package. It does not
include integration into to the existing wallet code base or conversion of
existing addresses. That functionality will be provided by future
commits.
