derive method

Tuple<SchnorrkelPublicKey, List<int>> derive(
  1. List<int> chainCode, [
  2. List<int>? message
])

Derives a new Schnorrkel public key and chain code using hierarchical deterministic key derivation (HDKD).

This method derives a new Schnorrkel public key and chain code from the current public key, an optional message, and a provided chain code. It is used for hierarchical deterministic key derivation scenarios.

Parameters:

  • chainCode: A chain code used in the derivation.
  • message (optional): An optional byte array message used in the derivation. Default is an empty byte array.

Returns: A tuple containing the derived Schnorrkel public key and chain code.

Example Usage:

SchnorrkelPublicKey currentPublicKey = ...;
List<int> chainCode = ...;
List<int> message = ...;
var (derivedPublicKey, derivedChainCode) = currentPublicKey.derive(chainCode, message);

The derive method is used for hierarchical deterministic key derivation (HDKD) and returns a tuple with the derived Schnorrkel public key and chain code.

Implementation

Tuple<SchnorrkelPublicKey, List<int>> derive(List<int> chainCode,
    [List<int>? message]) {
  final derive = _deriveScalarAndChainCode(chainCode, message);
  final newKeyBigint =
      BigintUtils.fromBytes(derive.item1, byteOrder: Endian.little);
  final p = toPoint() + (Curves.generatorED25519 * newKeyBigint);
  return Tuple(SchnorrkelPublicKey(p.toBytes()), derive.item2);
}
