However, what is still missing is a standardized process for setting up multisig wallets securely across different vendors. There are a number of concerns when it comes to setting up a multisig wallet: # Whether the multisig configuration, such as Signer membership, script type, derivation paths and number of signatures required, is correct and not tampered with. # Whether Signer persists the multisig configuration in their respective storage, and under what format. # Whether Signer's storage is tamper-proof. # Whether Signer subsequently uses the multisig configuration to generate and verify receive and change addresses. An attacker who can modify the multisig configuration can steal or hold funds to ransom by duping the user into sending funds to the wrong address. This proposal seeks to address concerns #1 and #2: to mitigate the risk of tampering during the initial setup phase, and to define an interoperable multisig configuration format. Concerns #3 and #4 should be handled by Signers and is out of scope of this proposal. =3D=3DSpecification=3D=3D =3D=3D=3DPrerequisites=3D=3D=3D This proposal assumes the parties in the multisig support [ https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki BIP-0032], [ https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md the descriptor language] and encryption. =3D=3D=3DRoles=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3DCoordinator=3D=3D=3D=3D The Coordinator initiates the multisig setup. The Coordinator determines what type of multisig is used and the exact policy script. If encryption is enabled, the Coordinator also distributes a shared secret or shared secrets to the parties involved for secure communication. The Coordinator gathers information from the Signers to generate a descriptor record. The Coordinator distributes the descriptor record back to the Signers. =3D=3D=3D=3DSigner=3D=3D=3D=3D The Signer is a participating member in the multisig. Its responsibilities include providing its key record -- which contains an Extended Public Key (XPUB) -- to the Coordinator, verifying that its XPUB is included in the descriptor record and persisting the descriptor record in its storage. =3D=3D=3DSetup Process=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3DRound 1=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3DCoordinator=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D * The Coordinator creates a multisig wallet creation session. The Coordinator constructs the multisig script and its policy parameters, such as the total number of signers and the required number of signatures (M and N). * The session should expire after some time period determined by the Coordinator, e.g., 24 hours. * If encryption is enabled, the Coordinator distributes a secret TOKEN to each Signer over a secure channel. The Signer can use the TOKEN to derive an ENCRYPTION_KEY. Refer to the Encryption section below for details on the TOKEN, the key derivation function and the encryption scheme. Depending on the use case, the Coordinator can decide whether to share one common TOKEN for all Signers, or to have one per Signer. * If encryption is disabled, TOKEN is set to 0, and all the encryption/decryption steps below can be skipped. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3DSigner=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D * The Signer initiates a new secure multisig setup session by setting the TOKEN. The Signer derives an ENCRYPTION_KEY from the TOKEN. The Signer can keep the session open until a different value for the TOKEN is set. * The Signer generates a key record by prompting the user for a multisig derivation path and retrieves the XPUB at that derivation path. Optionally, the Signer can choose a path on behalf of the user. If the Signer chooses the path, it should try to avoid reusing XPUBs for different wallets. * The first line in the record must be the TOKEN. The second line must be the KEY. The KEY is an XPUB plus its key origin information, written in the descriptor-defined format, i.e.: [{master key fingerprint}/{derivation path}]{XPUB}. The third line must be a SIG, whereas SIG is the signature generated by using the private key associated with the XPUB to sign the first two lines. The signature should follow [ https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0322.mediawiki BIP-0322], legacy format accepted. Finally, the Signer encrypts the entire record with ENCRYPTION_KEY. =3D=3D=3D=3DRound 2=3D=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D=3D=3DCoordinator=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D * The Coordinator gathers key records from all participating Signers.

The CHECKSUM has [https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md#checksum= s BECH32 encoding]. * The Coordinator encrypts this descriptor record with ENCRYPTION_KEY. * The Coordinator sends the encrypted descriptor record to all participating Signers. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3DSigner=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D * The Signer imports the descriptor record, decrypts it using the ENCRYPTION_KEY derived from the open session. * The Signer calculates and verifies the descriptor=E2=80=99s CHECKSUM<= /tt>. Abort the setup if the CHECKSUM is incorrect. * The Signer checks whether one of the KEYs in the descriptor belongs to it, using path and fingerprint information included in the descriptor. The check must perform an exact match on the KEYs, and not using shortcuts such as matching fingerprints (which is trivial to spoof). Abort the setup if it doesn=E2=80=99t detect its own KEY. * For confirmation, the Signer must display to the user the CHECKSUM, plus other configurations, such as M and N.

The first one is a temporary, secret token, used to encrypt the two rounds of communication between the Signer and the Coordinator. The second one is through the descriptor checksum and visual inspection of the descriptor itself. The token is only needed during the setup phase, and can be safely thrown away afterwards. The token does not guarantee that the Signer membership set is not modified, since that depends on the overall security of all parties in the setup, but it can make it significantly harder for an attacker to do so. There are three ways an attacker can modify the membership set: by changing an existing member, by removing an existing member, or by adding a new member. For the first two methods, one of the Signers will be able to detect that its membership has been changed or removed, and reject the final descriptor. Thus, it is vital that all participating Signers check that their membership is intact in the descriptor. Even one Signer failing to check for its membership means that the setup could be compromised. For the third type of attack, the descriptor checksum and visual inspection of the descriptor itself are the only way to guard against malicious members from being inserted into the set. =3D=3DAcknowledgement=3D=3D Special thanks to Dmitry Petukhov, Christopher Allen, Craig Raw and others for their feedback on the specification. =3D=3DReferences=3D=3D Original mailing list thread: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2021-February/01838= 5.html --00000000000090de7105bb5bfebe Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

There are a number o= f concerns when it comes to setting up a multisig wallet:

# Whether = the multisig configuration, such as Signer membership, script type, derivat= ion paths and number of signatures required, is correct and not tampered wi= th.
# Whether Signer persists the multisig configuration in their respec= tive storage, and under what format.
# Whether Signer's storage is t= amper-proof.
# Whether Signer subsequently uses the multisig configurati= on to generate and verify receive and change addresses.

An attacker = who can modify the multisig configuration can steal or hold funds to ransom= by duping the user into sending funds to the wrong address.
