waddrmgr

[Build Status] (https://travis-ci.org/lbryio/lbcwallet)

Package waddrmgr provides a secure hierarchical deterministic wallet address manager.

A suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality. See test_coverage.txt for the gocov coverage report. Alternatively, if you are running a POSIX OS, you can run the cov_report.sh script for a real-time report. Package waddrmgr is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

Feature Overview

  • 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)
  • Scalable design:
    • Multi-tier 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 start in watching-only mode which does not contain any private key material
    • Ability to convert to watching-only mode
    • Programmatically detectable errors, including encapsulation of errors from packages it relies on
    • Address synchronization capabilities
  • Comprehensive test coverage
