Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. With the increase in the number of transactions, the backup volume of the key is getting larger and larger, which is difficult to manage;
[0005] 2. The key cannot be restored after it is damaged. If the key data is damaged, the digital currency in the transaction corresponding to the key data will no longer be able to be consumed

Abstract

The invention discloses a key derivation method and device applicable to digital currency and belongs to the field of information security. The key derivation method applicable to digital currency comprises the steps of splicing indexes of father public keys and sub-key indexes according to a sequence; using father chain codes as Hash keys, and calculating Hash values of spliced data based on a preset algorithm; obtaining sub-chain codes based on the Hash values; performing ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) addition modular operation on captured residual data; if the operation results are not preset values, regarding the operation results as sub-private keys; and performing ECC point multiplication operation on the sub-private keys to obtain sub-public keys. The key derivation method and device applicable to digital currency have the beneficial effects that backup of key seeds rather than all the keys is required as all the keys can be derived based on the key seeds, the backup volume is small, and loss caused by key damage also can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of information security, in particular to a key derivation method and device suitable for digital currency. Background technique [0002] Digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. It adopts the form of P2P and does not rely on the issuance of a specific currency institution, but is generated through a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. The digital currency economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the entire P2P network to confirm and record all transaction behaviors, and uses cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The design based on key science can make digital currency It can only be transferred or paid by the real owner, ensuring the anonymity of currency ownership and circulation transactions. Due to the anonymity of digital currency transactions, users use different addresses to receive digita...
