BIP32-ed25519

BIP32-ed25519 is an adaptation of the BIP32 proposal for deterministic key generation for the Ed25519 curve which has non-linear key space.

Implementation and bindings

We currently have two implementations of BIP32:

• C: Available in cardano-crypto
• Rust: Implemented by Vincent Hanquez, here.

The preferred implementation is that of Rust, but both are safe to use.

For the C implementation, we have bindings in the following languages:

• Haskell: Available in cardano-crypto

Common mistakes

As the underlying signature algorithm is ed25519, we refer the reader to common mistakes of that section.
