Josh Rickmar fcccae3d1a Manage wallet db namespaces from wallet package.
This changes the wallet.Open function signature to remove the database
namespace parameters.  This is done so that the wallet package itself
is responsible for the location and opening of these namespaces from
the database, rather than requiring the caller to open these ahead of
time.

A new wallet.Create function has also been added.  This function
initializes a new wallet in an empty database, using the same
namespaces as wallet.Open will eventually use.  This relieves the
caller from needing to manage wallet database namespaces explicitly.

Fixes #397.

waddrmgr

[Build Status] (https://travis-ci.org/btcsuite/btcwallet)

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
