Keychain SDK

Overview

The Keychain SDK offers a robust framework for managing cryptographic operations on the Warden Protocol. It simplifies the development of applications that interact with the Warden Protocol, handling both key requests and signature requests with efficiency and security.

Module descriptions

In this section, we will walk you through different modules of the Keychain SDK.

Signature requests (sign_requests.go)

Purpose: This module handles signature requests, allowing the application to process and respond to cryptographic signing operations.

Key components:

• SignResponseWriter interface: Provides methods to fulfill or reject signature requests.
  • Fulfil(signature []byte) error: Writes a signature to a signature request.
  • Reject(reason string) error: Writes a rejection message to a signature request.
• SignRequestHandler: A function type that processes individual signature requests.
• signResponseWriter struct: Implements the SignResponseWriter interface, managing encryption and transaction writing.

Functions:

• handleSignRequest: Processes a signature request using the provided SignRequestHandler.
• ingestSignRequests: Continuously fetches and handles new signature requests.

Keychain (keychain.go)

Purpose: Central application management, coordinating key and signature request handling.

Key components:

• App struct: Represents the Keychain application, managing configuration and handlers.
  • Key members include config, query, txWriter, keyRequestTracker, and signRequestTracker.
• NewApp function: Initializes a new App instance with the provided configuration.
• Handlers: These methods set the functions for processing requests.
  • SetKeyRequestHandler: Sets the handler for key requests.
  • SetSignRequestHandler: Sets the handler for signature requests.
• Start method: Begins the Keychain application's operations, managing request channels and transaction writing.
• ConnectionState: Returns the state of the gRPC connection.
• initConnections: Establishes connections to the Warden Protocol via gRPC.

Key requests (key_requests.go)

Purpose: Handles key requests, providing interfaces to fulfill or reject requests for public keys.

Key components:

• KeyResponseWriter Interface: Contains methods to fulfill or reject key requests.
  • Fulfil(publicKey []byte) error: Sends a public key in response.
  • Reject(reason string) error: Sends a rejection reason.
• KeyRequestHandler: A function type for handling key requests.
• keyResponseWriter Struct: Implements the KeyResponseWriter interface, processing key requests and writing results.

Functions:

• handleKeyRequest: Processes a key request using the provided KeyRequestHandler.
• ingestKeyRequests: Continuously fetches and handles new key requests.

Configuration (config.go)

Purpose: Defines the configuration structure for the Keychain SDK, detailing all necessary parameters for application setup.

Key components:

• Config struct: Specifies settings such as logger, chain ID, gRPC details, and batching options.

type Config struct {
    Logger          *slog.Logger
    ChainID         string
    GRPCURL         string
    GRPCInsecure    bool
    KeychainID      uint64
    DerivationPath  string
    Mnemonic        string
    BatchInterval   time.Duration
    BatchSize       int
    GasLimit        uint64
    TxFees          sdk.Coins
    TxTimeout       time.Duration
}

Transaction writer (writer.go)

Purpose: Manages transaction batching and sending operations.

Key components:

• W struct: Handles batch management and sending transactions to the blockchain.

Functions:

• Start: Begins the transaction writing process.
• Write: Adds messages to the batch for processing.
• Flush: Sends accumulated transactions in a batch.
• sendWaitTx: Handles the actual transaction submission and awaits confirmation.

Request tracker (tracker.go)

Purpose: Tracks processed request IDs to prevent duplicate processing.

Key components:

• T struct: Manages an ingested map to track processed requests, ensuring each request is only handled once.

Functions:

• IsNew: Checks if a request ID is new.
• Ingested: Marks a request as ingested.
• Done: Removes a request from the ingested map.

Encryption utilities (enc.go)

Purpose: Provides encryption utilities for cryptographic operations.

Key functions:

• Encrypt: Encrypts data using a provided ECDSA public key.
• ValidateEncryptionKey: Validates an ECDSA public key.
