keyfork
An opinionated and modular toolchain for generating and managing a wide range of cryptographic keys offline and on smartcards from a shared bip39 mnemonic phrase.
This toolchain uses a bip32 seed loaded into an agent to generate deterministic and unique keypairs. This ensures only the agent has control over the mnemonic itself, and other components can simply request deterministic data.
This repository must not be managed by cargo-hakari
, to ensure each plumbing
binary can be built with as few dependencies and SLOC to review as possible.
Dependency Policy
Dependencies must not be added to core utilities such as seed generation and
path derivation without a really good reason we can't implement it ourselves,
such as cryptography libraries. For instance, keyfork-derive-util
only
utilizes cryptography libraries, serde
, and thiserror
, with the latter two
being audited dependencies. Utilities such as forklets (applications that
use derived data, such as an OpenPGP keychain generator) and the kitchen-sink
keyfork
utility may pull in additional dependencies as needed, but should
strive to use the standard library as much as possible. To avoid code reuse,
additional crates (such as the smex
crate) may be used to share functionality
across several crates.
Keyfork Top-Level Binary
The keyfork
binary is the most user-friendly interface for interacting with
the Keyfork toolchain. It offers commands that should not take any scriptable
input and should not produce any script-readable output. Such operations that
require script compatibility should be made into their own utilities, with the
higher level interface of interacting with them left solely to keyfork
.
For instance, the program to generate system entropy is keyfork-entropy
. It
accepts an arbitrary length and spits out a hex-encoded chunk of data. The
program to convert that entropy into a seed is keyfork-mnemonic-from-seed
. It
takes entropy from input and converts it into a seed. The combination of the
two, generating entropy and converting it to a mnemonic, is managed through
Keyfork: keyfork mnemonic generate
, which can also be used to offer more
options down the line, such as generating a mnemonic from tarot or playing
cards, or dice.
Note: The following document is all proposed, and not yet implemented.
Features
- Modular
- Standalone binaries can derive/manage keys/config from bip32 root
- Modules handle use cases like ssh, pgp, webauthn, crypto-assets, etc
- Module contract is dead simple and can be written in any language
- Recoverable
- Config file and 24 word mnemonic phrase to recover -all- keys
- Unpredictable
- Generate a BIP39 phrase from OS entropy
- Take BIP39 passphrase from user supplied entropy
- Read up on https://milksad.info to understand why this matters!
- Offline
- Will exit if network access is detected to force you to keep keys offline
- Helps limit the risk of supply chain attacks
- Intended for use with QubesOS Vault VM, AirgapOS, etc
- Private keys are installed to HSMs/TEEs for use by online machines
Install
These steps will allow you to prove that at least two Distrust engineers signed off on the produced binaries, signaling that they reproduced them from source code and got identical results, in addition to our usual two-party code review processes.
This minimizes a single point of trust (and failure) in our binary release process.
See the Reproducible Builds project for more information on these practices.
We use git for all development, releases, and signing. Unfortunately git has no native method for large file storage or multi-signature workflows so some git add-ons are required.
To follow these steps please install git-lfs and git-sig.
