XCHAIN-CRYPTO encrypts a master phrase to a keystore

XCHAIN-CRYPTO

The XCHAIN CRYPTO package is a crypto package used by all XCHAIN clients.

XCHAIN-CRYPTO encrypts a master phrase to a keystore. This keystore can then be exported to other XCHAIN wallets or stored securely.

Users can export their phrase and import them into other wallets since it is a BIP39 compatible phrase.

Design

Typically keystore files encrypt a seed to a file, however this is not appropriate or UX friendly, since the phrase cannot be recovered after the fact.

Crypto design:

[entropy] -> [phrase] -> [seed] -> [privateKey] -> [publicKey] -> [address]

Instead, XCHAIN-CRYPTO stores the phrase in a keystore file, then decrypts and passes this phrase to other clients:

[keystore] -> XCHAIN-CRYPTO -> [phrase] -> ChainClient

The ChainClients can then convert this into their respective key-pairs and addresses. Users can also export their phrases after the fact, ensuring they have saved it securely. This could enhance UX onboarding since users aren't forced to write their phrases down immediately for empty or test wallets.

Usage

Basic usage

from xchainpy.xchainpy_crypto.crypto import validate_phrase , encrypt_to_keystore , decrypt_from_keystore

isCorrect = validate_phrase(phrase)
password = 'thorchain'
keystore = await encrypt_to_keystore(phrase, password)
phraseDecrypted = await decrypt_from_keystore(keystore, password)
