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 introduce a new internal package to deal with the explicit
clearing of data (such as private keys) in byte slices, byte arrays
(32 and 64-bytes long), and multi-precision "big" integers.

Removes an XXX from the votingpool package.
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 commit converts the wallet to use the new secure hierarchical
deterministic wallet address manager package as well as the walletdb
package.
The following is an overview of modified functionality:
- The wallet must now be created before starting the executable
- A new flag --create has been added to create the new wallet using wizard
style question and answer prompts
- Starting the process without an existing wallet will instruct now
display a message to run it with --create
- Providing the --create flag with an existing wallet will simply show an
error and return
In addition the snacl package has been modified to return the memory after
performing scrypt operations to the OS.
Previously a runtime.GC was being invoked which forced it to release the
memory as far as the garbage collector is concerned, but the memory was
not released back to the OS immediatley. This modification allows the
memory to be released immedately since it won't be needed again until the
next wallet unlock.
This commit updates the documentation which discusses creating and opening
the manager to properly mention the wallet database namespace as well as
another typo.
This is performed by saving the SHA512(salt+passphrase) of the
waddrmgr.Manager private passphrase each time the manager is unlocked.
If another call to Unlock is performed before the next Lock, the hash
is applied to the new input. If it matches, we know the passphrase is
(likely) equal, so return early and continue using the crypto keys
already in memory. If it does not match, we know for certain the
passphrase is incorrect and the manager is locked.
The slice of keys which must have their private extended keys derived
on unlock was never being removed from and all of these keys were
being rederived unnecessarily on every unlock. Fix this by re-slicing
the deriveOnUnlock slice to remove the just derived key if the
derivation was successful.
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 cleans up the recent test addition for testing the positive
and negative error paths of the Encrypt and Decrypt functions.
In particular:
- Add comments to all new functions
- Close the manager before trying to delete the file which is otherwise in
use
- Rename the temp prefix since these are not pool tests
- Rename setUp to setupManager to make it a bit more explicit what it's
doing
This commit adds comments about the specific crypto key types, moves the
selectCryptoKey function before the Encrypt/Decrypt functions that call it
to be more consistent with the rest of the code base, and slightly
modifies the verbiage of the comment.
The crypto key type unsed in the manager is not needed outside of the
package. Also, rather than having the newCryptoKey func return the
specific cryptoKey type, make it return the EncryptorDecryptor interface.
This will allow it to be overridden with another type that implements the
interface from the tests.
Useful to test error conditions.
Also provide a new function that wraps snacl.GenerateCryptoKey(),
defined as a variable so that it can be replaced in tests.
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.
