Title: Simple deterministic question Post by: AliceWonderMiscreations on February 02, 2016, 09:38:20 AM Say I generate the following private ECDSA key :
Code: 07b8fd762ccec1a071245c4b4798b6f78eac4cbe2cad227c325e01c6c9a1ef73 Is there anything wrong with creating derivatives by just adding 1? e.g. Code: 07b8fd762ccec1a071245c4b4798b6f78eac4cbe2cad227c325e01c6c9a1ef74 Mathematically I can't think of any. Means if the seed is discovered, screwed - but isn't that always the case with deterministic ?? If there is a concept I am not understanding, where can I read more about it? Thank you.

Not just the seed, but you are screwed if any PK in the sequence is discovered because you can work your way forwards and backwards. This is not the general case with deterministic, where it may only be possible to work your way forward.

Oh and I am sorry, I meant to post this in general bitcoin and not in dev. |
