## Simple Summary
|
|||
|
In the context of Computation Integrity Proof (CIP) Layer-2 solutions such as ZK-Rollups, users are required to sign messages on new elliptic curves optimized for those environnements. We leverage existing work on Key Derivation ([BIP32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki), [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) and [BIP44](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki)) to define an efficient way to securely produce CIP L2s private keys, as well as creating domain separation between Layer-2 applications.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Abstract
|
|||
|
We provide a Derivation Path allowing a user to derive hierarchical keys for Layer-2 solutions depending on the zk-technology, the application, the user’s Layer-1 address, as well as an efficient grinding method to enforce the private key distribution within the curve domain. The propose Derivation Path is defined as follow
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
m / purpose' / layer' / application' / eth_address_1' / eth_address_2' / index
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Motivation
|
|||
|
In the context of Computation Integrity Proof (CIP) Layer-2 solutions such as ZK-Rollups, users are required to sign messages on new elliptic curves optimized for those environnements. Extensive work has been done to make it secure on Bitcoin via [BIP32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki), [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) and [BIP44](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki). These protocols are the standard for wallets in the entire industry, independent of the underlying blockchain. As Layer-2 solutions are taking off, it is a necessary requirement to maintain the same standard and security in this new space.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Specification
|
|||
|
Starkware keys are derived with the following [BIP43](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0043.mediawiki)-compatible derivation path, with direct inspiration from [BIP44](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki):
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
m / purpose' / layer' / application' / eth_address_1' / eth_address_2' / index
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
where:
|
|||
|
* `m` - the seed.
|
|||
|
* `purpose` - `2645` (the number of this EIP).
|
|||
|
* `layer` - the 31 lowest bits of sha256 on the layer name. Serve as a domain separator between different technologies. In the context of `starkex`, the value would be `579218131`.
|
|||
|
* `application` - the 31 lowest bits of sha256 of the application name. Serve as a domain separator between different applications. In the context of DeversiFi in June 2020, it is the 31 lowest bits of sha256(starkexdvf) and the value would be `1393043894`.
|
|||
|
* `eth_address_1 / eth_address_2` - the first and second 31 lowest bits of the corresponding eth_address.
|
|||
|
* `index` - to allow multiple keys per eth_address.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As example, the expected path for address 0x0000....0000 assuming seed `m` and index 0 in the context of DeversiFi in June 2020: `m/2645'/579218131'/1393043894'/0'/0'/0`
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The key derivation should follow the following algorithm
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
N = 2**256
|
|||
|
n = Layer2 curve order
|
|||
|
path = stark derivation path
|
|||
|
BIP32() = Official BIP-0032 derivation function on secp256k1
|
|||
|
hash = SHA256
|
|||
|
i = 0
|
|||
|
root_key = BIP32(path)
|
|||
|
while True:
|
|||
|
key = hash(root_key|i)
|
|||
|
if (key < (N - (N % n))):
|
|||
|
return key % n
|
|||
|
i++
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
This algorithm has been defined to maintain efficiency on existing restricted devices.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Nota Bene: At each round, the probability for a key to be greater than (N - (N % n)) is < 2^(-5).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Rationale
|
|||
|
This EIP specifies two aspects of keys derivation in the context of Hierarchical Wallets:
|
|||
|
- Derivation Path
|
|||
|
- Grinding Algorithm to enforce a uniform distribution over the elliptic curve.
|
|||
|
The derivation path is defined to allow efficient keys separation based on technology and application while maintaining a 1-1 relation with the Layer-1 wallet. In such a way, losing EIP-2645 wallets falls back to losing the Layer-1 wallet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Backwards Compatibility
|
|||
|
This standard complies with BIP43.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
## Security Considerations
|
|||
|
This EIP has been defined to maintain separation of keys while providing foolproof logic on key derivation.
