Colin,

1) This is a good sta= rt for a BIP, but it's missing details. For example, the nonce is encry= pted by the server. What key is it encrypted with? Clarifying ambiguities l= ike this can sometimes reveal weaknesses that you wouldn't otherwise th= ink of.

2) What kind of recovery questions are ask= ed? If it's something like "What was the name of your first pet?&q= uot; then what prevents the server from stealing the wallet by trying a dic= tionary of the most common pet names? Is there a mitigation to this, beside= s picking cryptographically secure identifiers for my pets?

I believe I have c= ome up with a structure that allows for trustless use of hybrid wallets tha= t would allow for someone to use a hybrid wallet without having to trust it= while still allowing for emergency recovery of funds in the case of a lost= wallet. It would run off of this TX script:

IF
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A01 <clientRe= coveryPubKey>=C2=A0<serve= rRecoveryPubKey> 2 CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
ELSE
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A02 <userWalletPubK= ey> <serverWalletPubKey> 2 CHECKMULTISIG
ENDIF

A typical transaction using this= would involve a user signing a TX with their userWalletPrivKey, authentica= ting with the server, possibly with 2FA using a phone or something like Aut= hy or Google Authenticator. After authentication, the server signs with the= ir serverWalletPrivKey.

In case the server goes rogue and starts refusing to sign,= the user can use their userRecoveryPrivKey to send the funds anywhere they= choose. Because if this, the userRecoveryPrivKey is best suited to cold wa= llet storage.

In the more likely event that the user forgets their password=C2=A0<= /span>and/or looses access to their = userWalletPrivKey=C2=A0as wel= l as loses their recovery key, they rely on the serverRecoveryPrivKey.

When the us= er first sets up their wallet, they answer some basic identity information,= set up a recovery password, and/or set up recovery questions and answers. = This information is explicitly NOT sent to serve with the exception of reco= very questions (although the answers remain with the user, never seeing the= server). What is sent to the server is it's 256 bit hash used to ident= ify the recovery wallet. The server then creates a 1025 bit nonce, encrypts= it, stores it, and transmits it to the user's client.

Meanwhile, the user'= ;s wallet client generates the serverRecoveryPrivKey.

Once the client has both t= he serverRecoveryPrivKey, and the nonce, it uses SHA512 on the combination = of the identity questions and answers, the recovery password (if used), the= recovery questions and answers, and the nonce. It uses the resulting hash = to encrypt the serverRecoveryPrivKey.

Finally, the already encrypted key is encryp= ted again for transmission to the server. The server decrypts it, then renc= rypts it for long term storage.

When the user needs to resort to using this opt= ion, they 256 bit hash their information to build their recovery identifier= . The server may, optionally, request e-mail and or SMS confirmation that u= ser is actually attempting the recovery.

Next, the server decrypts the saved nonce= , as well as the first layer of encryption on the serverRecoveryPrivKey, th= en encrypts both for transmission to the user's client. Then the client= removes the transmission encryption, calculates the 512 bit hash that was = used to originally encrypt the serverRecoveryPrivKey by using the provided = information and the nonce.

After all of that the user can decrypt the airbitzServe= rRecoveryPrivKey and use it to send a transaction anywhere they choose.

I was thin= king this may make a good informational BIP but would like feedback.=
