# keyfunc
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`keyfunc` turns a BIP-39 mnemonic into key pairs that can be recreated from
|
||||||
|
that mnemonic at any time. The same mnemonic, key type and index always give the
|
||||||
|
same key.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It uses the BIP-85 entropy deriver from `git.eeqj.de/sneak/secret/pkg/bip85` and
|
||||||
|
takes the same steps as that repository's `agehd` package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Commands are grouped by what is derived: `keyfunc ssh ...` for ed25519 SSH
|
||||||
|
keys, `keyfunc age ...` for age identities and for encrypting and decrypting
|
||||||
|
with them, and `keyfunc mnemonic ...` for child mnemonics derived from the
|
||||||
|
main one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Derivation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The mnemonic is turned into a key like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. mnemonic -> BIP-39 seed (empty passphrase);
|
||||||
|
2. seed -> BIP-32 master key;
|
||||||
|
3. master key -> 64 bytes of BIP-85 entropy at the path below;
|
||||||
|
4. entropy -> BIP-85 DRNG (SHAKE256); read 32 bytes;
|
||||||
|
5. those 32 bytes become the key in the way the key type needs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The path is:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
m/83696968'/<app>'/<n>'
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `83696968` is the fixed BIP-85 purpose.
|
||||||
|
- `app` is the application number of the key type. There is no vendor id: the
|
||||||
|
path is meant as a standard any implementation can follow, not something tied
|
||||||
|
to one tool. Each key type's number is spelled the way BIP-85 spells its own
|
||||||
|
RSA application (`828365` is the ASCII codes of `R`, `S`, `A` written out):
|
||||||
|
SSH is `838372` (`S` `S` `H`), age is `657169` (`A` `G` `E`).
|
||||||
|
- `n` is the key index: flag `--index` / `-n`, default `0`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Giving it the mnemonic
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The mnemonic itself is never a command-line argument. It is looked for in this
|
||||||
|
order; the first one found wins:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. `--mnemonic-command <command>`: a shell command, run with `sh -c`, whose
|
||||||
|
standard output is the mnemonic. Example: `--mnemonic-command 'secret get
|
||||||
|
foo'`. Whitespace around the output is dropped. If the command exits with a
|
||||||
|
non-zero status, the tool prints its standard error and exits with status 1.
|
||||||
|
2. Environment variable `KEYFUNC_MNEMONIC_COMMAND`: the same, as a shell
|
||||||
|
command held in the environment.
|
||||||
|
3. Environment variable `KEYFUNC_MNEMONIC`: the mnemonic itself.
|
||||||
|
4. A prompt on the terminal with echo turned off.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If none of these is available and standard input is not a terminal, the tool
|
||||||
|
refuses and exits with status 1. A mnemonic that fails the BIP-39 checksum is
|
||||||
|
refused with a message saying so.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Every command takes `--index` / `-n` and `--mnemonic-command`, and has `--help`.
|
||||||
|
`keyfunc --version` prints the version set at build time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## SSH keys: `keyfunc ssh`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Only ed25519 keys are produced. The application number is `838372`, so the
|
||||||
|
path is `m/83696968'/838372'/<n>'`. The 32 bytes from step 4 are the ed25519
|
||||||
|
seed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Test vector, mnemonic
|
||||||
|
`abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
index 0: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIJZOtOczrc/7CQytcuFwt7s4r8KjkZWkwjLZWBaFKD+7
|
||||||
|
index 1: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIOEWY8+/gmHYVC4u0Y0I4FKs+eVUulTPHfk9VtXw1tMF
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc ssh pub`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Prints one `authorized_keys` line to standard output:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ssh-ed25519 <key> <comment>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The comment defaults to `keyfunc/ssh/<n>`; change it with `--comment`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc ssh priv`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Prints the unencrypted private key in OpenSSH format (the
|
||||||
|
`-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----` block that `ssh` reads) to standard output
|
||||||
|
and nothing else, so it can be redirected into a file. The key's comment is the
|
||||||
|
same as for `pub`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc ssh install <[user@]host> [-- ssh options...]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Runs the system `ssh` to the host and, on the host:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- creates `~/.ssh` with mode `0700` if it is missing;
|
||||||
|
- creates `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` with mode `0600` if it is missing;
|
||||||
|
- appends the `pub` line only if an identical line is not already there.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It then prints `added` or `already present`. How this `ssh` connection
|
||||||
|
authenticates is up to the user's normal `ssh` setup (existing keys, agent,
|
||||||
|
password). Anything after `--` is passed to `ssh` unchanged.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc ssh to <host> [ssh arguments...]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Derives the key, serves it from an SSH agent that runs inside the tool on a unix
|
||||||
|
socket in a new private `0700` temporary directory, then runs the system `ssh`
|
||||||
|
with `-o IdentityAgent=<that socket>` followed by the host and all remaining
|
||||||
|
arguments unchanged. The tool exits with `ssh`'s exit status and removes the
|
||||||
|
socket and directory on the way out. The private key is never written to disk.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## age identities: `keyfunc age`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The application number is `657169`, path `m/83696968'/657169'/<n>'`. The 32
|
||||||
|
bytes from step 4 are clamped as X25519 requires and become an age identity,
|
||||||
|
the same steps `sneak/secret` takes in its `agehd` package. `secret` derives at
|
||||||
|
a vendor-specific path today; for its keys to equal this tool's it moves to
|
||||||
|
this path, which is a change in `secret`, not here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc age pub`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Prints the recipient, the `age1...` public key, on one line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc age priv`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Prints the identity, the `AGE-SECRET-KEY-1...` line, and nothing else.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc age encrypt [-n N] [--to <recipient>...] [-o <file>] [<file>]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Encrypts the file (or standard input) with age. The recipients are the derived
|
||||||
|
identity's own recipient, plus any given with `--to`, so the same mnemonic can
|
||||||
|
always decrypt what it encrypted. Output goes to `-o` or standard output;
|
||||||
|
`--armor` writes the text form. Nothing is written except the output.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc age decrypt [-n N] [-o <file>] [<file>]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Decrypts the file (or standard input) with the derived identity. Output goes to
|
||||||
|
`-o` or standard output. If the identity is not one of the recipients, the tool
|
||||||
|
says so and exits with status 1.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Derived mnemonics: `keyfunc mnemonic`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `keyfunc mnemonic [-n N] [--words 12|18|24]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Prints a child mnemonic derived from the main one, using BIP-85's own mnemonic
|
||||||
|
application (number `39`, English, path
|
||||||
|
`m/83696968'/39'/0'/<words>'/<n>'`, entropy taken as the specification says,
|
||||||
|
not through step 4). Default 12 words. A child mnemonic is a full mnemonic in
|
||||||
|
its own right: it can seed another `keyfunc`, another wallet, or `secret`, and
|
||||||
|
it never has to be written down, since it can be derived again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Adding a key type
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Adding a key type is one package under `internal/` that turns the 32 derived
|
||||||
|
bytes into that type's key, plus one cobra subcommand under `internal/cli/` that
|
||||||
|
groups its commands.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Errors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Errors go to standard error and the exit status is 1, except for `ssh to`,
|
||||||
|
which passes through `ssh`'s own exit status.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Building and running
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
make build # produces ./keyfunc
|
||||||
|
make check # fmt-check, lint (golangci-lint) and tests
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Examples:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
keyfunc ssh pub -n 3 --mnemonic-command 'secret get foo'
|
||||||
|
keyfunc ssh priv -n 3 > ~/.ssh/id_bip85_3
|
||||||
|
keyfunc ssh install -n 3 user@example.com
|
||||||
|
keyfunc ssh to -n 3 user@example.com uptime
|
||||||
|
keyfunc age pub -n 0
|
||||||
|
keyfunc age encrypt -n 0 --armor -o notes.age notes.txt
|
||||||
|
keyfunc age decrypt -n 0 notes.age
|
||||||
|
keyfunc mnemonic -n 1 --words 24
|
||||||
|
```
