Bip32 Utilities

Paths

secureSecretPath

Generates a random BIP32 path of a given depth. The randomness is generated using the Node.js crypto module. This can be used for blinding an xpub. The function ensures that the depth is an integer and less than 32.

combineBip32Paths

Given two BIP32 paths, combine them into a single path. Useful for creating blinded xpubs when you have the source path and want to append the randomly generated one

getUnmaskedPath

Given a derivation and a global xpub, return the unmasked path that can be used to derive the child pubkey from the global xpub. This is useful when you have a child xpub (e.g. a blinded xpub) derived from a masked xpub and you need to generate the full, unmasked path.

getRelativeBip32Sequence

A utility to use when you have a parent and child bip32 paths and want the "relative" sequence (the path elements from the child that are added on to the parent).

Keys

getRandomChildXpub

Given a source xpub, derive a child xpub at a random path using secureSecretPath defaults to depth 4. Useful for creating blinded xpubs or generating random child xpubs (e.g. strands)

getMaskedKeyOrigin

Derive a masked key origin from an xpub. Useful for generating descriptors and wallet configurations for keys that don't need to have their key origin info revealed. Bip32 path will use all 0s for the depth of the given xpub and the root fingerprint will be set to the parent fingerprint of the xpub

isValidChildPubKey

When you have a global xpub from a PSBT, it's useful to make sure that a child pubkey can be derived from that psbt. Sometimes the pubkey derivation comes from a masked and/or blinded xpub. So we need to combine the child derivation with the global and confirm that the pubkey can be derived from that source

setXpubNetwork

Sets and updates serialization of xpub for a network accordingly.

getBlindedXpub

Given a source xpub, derive a blinded xpub at a random path. Will target 128 bits of entropy for the path with a depth of 4.
