chainkey 0.1.1

Turnkey Flutter plugin for seedless Web3 auth. Hardware-isolated key generation (Secure Enclave & StrongBox), WebAuthn attestation, and EIP-7212/ERC-4337 signature serialization.

chainkey

A turnkey Flutter plugin for seedless Web3 authentication and smart contract account abstraction.

chainkey enables applications to generate non-exportable cryptographic keypairs directly inside hardware security enclaves (Apple Secure Enclave and Android StrongBox / TEE) and web authenticators (W3C WebAuthn / Passkeys). Private keys never leave the hardware chip and require user biometric presence (Face ID, Touch ID, Fingerprint) for every signature.

Signatures are emitted with pre-unpacked, low-$S$ normalized (r, s) scalar components ready for on-chain verification via EIP-7212 precompiles or ERC-4337 smart contract wallets.

Getting Started

1. Add Dependency

Add chainkey to your Flutter app's pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  chainkey: ^0.1.0

2. Platform Setup

iOS

Add the NSFaceIDUsageDescription entry to ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>NSFaceIDUsageDescription</key>
<string>Authenticate using biometrics to sign transactions securely.</string>

Android

Ensure minSdk is at least 24 in android/app/build.gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 24
    }
}

Usage

1. Check Hardware Isolation Support

import 'package:chainkey/chainkey.dart';

// Check if dedicated hardware HSM is available on this physical device
final isStrongBoxAvailable = await Chainkey.instance.isHardwareIsolationSupported(
  HardwareIsolationLevel.strongBox,
);

final isSecureEnclaveAvailable = await Chainkey.instance.isHardwareIsolationSupported(
  HardwareIsolationLevel.secureEnclave,
);

2. Generate a Hardware Keypair

final key = await Chainkey.instance.generateHardwareKey(
  alias: 'wallet_key_0',
  requireUserPresence: true,
  requireStrongBox: true,
);

print('Public key X: ${key.x}');
print('Public key Y: ${key.y}');
print('Uncompressed SEC1 bytes: ${key.uncompressedBytes}');

3. Sign a 32-Byte Hash (e.g. ERC-4337 UserOpHash)

import 'dart:typed_data';

final userOpHash = Uint8List(32); // 32-byte digest

final signature = await Chainkey.instance.signWithHardwareKey(
  alias: 'wallet_key_0',
  hash32: userOpHash,
  promptOptions: BiometricPromptOptions(
    title: 'Confirm Transaction',
    subtitle: 'Authorize transfer from smart account',
    negativeButtonText: 'Cancel',
  ),
);

// Low-S normalized scalar components for EIP-7212 precompile:
print('r scalar: ${signature.r}');
print('s scalar: ${signature.s}');
print('Raw ASN.1 DER signature: ${signature.rawDerSignature}');

4. Delete Keypair

await Chainkey.instance.deleteHardwareKey('wallet_key_0');

Standards Compliance

• NIST P-256 / secp256r1: Standard curve supported by Apple SEP, Android StrongBox, and WebAuthn.
• BIP-62 & EIP-2: Strict low-$S$ scalar normalization ($s \le n/2$) preventing transaction malleability.
• EIP-7212: EVM precompile for secp256r1 curve support on Ethereum rollups and L2 networks.
• ERC-4337: Compatible with Smart Contract Wallets and Passkey-based Account Abstraction.
