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. |

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 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
- Comprehensive test coverage
