Blastkids

A BLS12-381 child key derivation library written in Rust. Implements EIP-2333 and EIP-2334.

Fork of rust-bls-derivation using bls12_381_plus instead of curv-kzen, plus cleanup and documentation.

Rationale

If you want to use Delegatable Anonymous Credentials the verification key (VK) becomes as long as the credential entries. Since a VK is simply several BLS12-381 public keys (PKs) we can use a derivation algorithm such as EIP-2333 in order to derive the long VK from a single root PK given any length.

Installation

bash cargo install blastkids

API & Docs

See documentation on docs.rs.

See tests in lib.rs for example usage.

Tests

bash cargo test

Dependencies

Prior Work

• EIP-2333
• EIP-2334
• rust-bls-derivation (circa 2023, uses curv-kzen library which breaks with rust-nightly and appears somewhat unmaintained)
