Full Description

Scope

This standard specifies the key management for blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, including the following: a) Key generation and storage modes that support multiple asymmetric encryption schemes; b) Derivation and use of multi-level hierarchical accounts used by root keys on different blockchain systems; c) Protocol specifications for mutual identity anchoring of public keys/addresses generated between different cryptography.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to:a) Provide a reference for the use and management of keys for organizations that plan to use blockchain and distributed ledger technology to build blockchain and distributed ledger systems;b) Guide the blockchain and distributed ledger service providers to establish key management modules for blockchain and distributed ledger systems;c) Provide a key management reference for middleware service organizations in the construction process of blockchain and distributed ledger systems.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.The current blockchain has problems such as a wide variety of chains, independent design rules for each identity account, and different cryptographic curve signature algorithms. If the traditional private key mode is used to manage multiple accounts on the same chain or multiple accounts on different chains Identity requires users to perform multiple backups, and faces complex management and authentication problems. Therefore, the design of hierarchical deterministic schemes and related proposals have emerged. The IEEE P3209 standard will unite many blockchain technology providers to jointly formulate international standards for hierarchical deterministic schemes, output uniform and standardized cryptographic derivation rules between different chains, and determine multiple blockchains through mutual signature and self-certification of private keys of different chains. The same identity corresponding to the public and private keys on the chain.
