sip: 30 | ||
title: Entropy Source Identifiers | ||
status: Draft | ||
author: Shane T Odlum (@shane-t) | ||
created: 2024-12-17 | ||
--- | ||
|
||
## Abstract | ||
|
||
This SIP proposes additions to entropy retrieval APIs that allows snaps to request entropy from a specific source. | ||
|
||
## Motivation | ||
|
||
Interoperability snaps and account management snaps use the methods `snap_getEntropy`, `snap_getBip44Entropy`, `snap_getBip32Entropy`, and `snap_getBip32PublicKey` to generate addresses and other key material. | ||
|
||
These methods assume the client contains a single entropy source (the user's primary keyring mnemonic). The proposed API will allow snaps to request entropy from a specific source such as a secondary mnemonic. | ||
|
||
## Specification | ||
|
||
> Formal specifications are written in TypeScript. | ||
### Language | ||
|
||
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", | ||
"NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" written in uppercase in this document are to be interpreted as described in | ||
[RFC 2119](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt) | ||
|
||
|
||
### Common Types | ||
```typescript | ||
type Slip10Node = { | ||
depth: number; | ||
parentFingerprint: number; | ||
index: number; | ||
privateKey: string; | ||
publicKey: string; | ||
chainCode: string; | ||
curve: "ed25519" | "secp256k1"; | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
export type BIP44Node = { | ||
coin_type: number; | ||
depth: number; | ||
privateKey: string; | ||
publicKey: string; | ||
chainCode: string; | ||
path: string[]; | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Scope | ||
|
||
This SIP applies to snaps that implement the [Keyring API][keyring-api] and any others which use the `snap_getEntropy`, `snap_getBip44Entropy`, `snap_getBip32Entropy`, and `snap_getBip32PublicKey` methods. | ||
|
||
### Snap Manifest | ||
|
||
No changes are required to the snap manifest. | ||
|
||
### Client wallet implementation | ||
|
||
A client wallet MAY invoke the `keyring.createAccount` method with an `entropySource` parameter in the `options` object. | ||
|
||
The `entropySource` parameter MUST be a string which uniquely identifies the entropy source to use. It is not guaranteed to be the same string visible to any other snap, but should always refer to the same source in the context of interactions between the snap and the client wallet. | ||
|
||
#### Snap implementation | ||
|
||
If a snap is asked to create an account via `keyring.createAccount`, and the `entropySource` parameter is provided, and the snap requires entropy to create an account,the snap SHOULD request the entropy from the specified source. | ||
|
||
### RPC Methods | ||
|
||
#### `snap_getEntropy` | ||
|
||
##### Parameters | ||
An object containing: | ||
|
||
- `version` - The number 2. Version `2` is the first version that allows specifying a source ID. | ||
- `salt` (optional) - An arbitrary string to be used as a salt for the entropy. This can be used to generate different entropy for different purposes. | ||
- `source` (optional) - The ID of the entropy source to use. If not specified, the default entropy source will be used. | ||
|
||
#### Returns | ||
The entropy as a hexadecimal string. | ||
|
||
#### Example | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
const entropy = await snap.request({ | ||
method: "snap_getEntropy", | ||
params: { | ||
version: 2, | ||
salt: "my-salt", | ||
source: "1234-5678-9012-3456-7890", | ||
}, | ||
}); | ||
// '0x1234567890abcdef' | ||
``` | ||
|
||
#### `snap_getBip32Entropy` | ||
|
||
##### Parameters | ||
|
||
- `path`: An array starting with `m` containing the BIP-32 derivation path of the key to retrieve. | ||
- `source`: The ID of the entropy source to use. | ||
- `curve`: The curve to use - `secp256k1` or `ed25519`. | ||
|
||
##### Returns | ||
|
||
A `Slip10Node` object representing the BIP-32 HD tree node and containing its corresponding key material. | ||
|
||
##### Example | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
const node = await snap.request({ | ||
method: "snap_getBip32Entropy", | ||
params: { | ||
path: ["m", "44", "0", "0", "0"], | ||
source: "1234-5678-9012-3456-7890", | ||
curve: "secp256k1", | ||
}, | ||
}); | ||
// { | ||
// depth: 5, | ||
// parentFingerprint: 1234567890, | ||
// index: 0, | ||
// privateKey: '0x1234567890abcdef', | ||
// publicKey: '0x1234567890abcdef', | ||
// chainCode: '0x1234567890abcdef', | ||
// curve: 'secp256k1', | ||
// } | ||
``` | ||
|
||
#### `snap_getBip32PublicKeyFromSource` | ||
|
||
##### Parameters | ||
|
||
- `path`: An array starting with `m` containing the BIP-32 derivation path of the key to retrieve. | ||
- `source`: The ID of the entropy source to use. | ||
- `curve`: The curve to use - `secp256k1` or `ed25519`. | ||
- `compressed`: Whether to return the public key in compressed format. (defaults to `false`) | ||
|
||
##### Returns | ||
|
||
The public key as a hexadecimal string. | ||
|
||
##### Example | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
const publicKey = await snap.request({ | ||
method: "snap_getBip32PublicKeyFromSource", | ||
params: { | ||
path: ["m", "44", "0", "0", "0"], | ||
source: "1234-5678-9012-3456-7890", | ||
curve: "secp256k1", | ||
compressed: true, | ||
}, | ||
}); | ||
// '0x1234567890abcdef' | ||
``` | ||
|
||
#### `snap_getBip44Entropy` | ||
|
||
##### Parameters | ||
An object containing: | ||
|
||
- `coin_type`: The BIP-44 coin type value of the node. | ||
- `source` (optional) - The ID of the entropy source to use. If not specified, the default entropy source will be used. | ||
|
||
##### Returns | ||
A `BIP44Node` object representing the BIP-44 `coin_type` HD tree node and containing its corresponding key material. | ||
|
||
##### Example | ||
|
||
```typescript | ||
const node = await snap.request({ | ||
method: "snap_getBip44Entropy", | ||
params: { | ||
coin_type: 1, | ||
source: "1234-5678-9012-3456-7890", | ||
}, | ||
}); | ||
// { | ||
// coin_type: 1, | ||
// depth: 5, | ||
// privateKey: '0x1234567890abcdef', | ||
// publicKey: '0x1234567890abcdef', | ||
// chainCode: '0x1234567890abcdef', | ||
// path: ['m', '44', '0', '0', '0'], | ||
// } | ||
