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. |

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
