A Multisig HD Bitcore Wallet Service.
|
||
|
||
# Description
|
||
|
||
Bitcore Wallet Service facilitates multisig HD wallets creation and operation through a (hopefully) simple and intuitive REST API.
|
||
|
||
BWS can usually be installed within minutes and accommodates all the needed infrastructure for peers in a multisig wallet to communicate and operate – with minimum server trust.
|
||
|
||
See [Bitcore-wallet-client] (https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-client) for the *official* client library that communicates to BWS and verifies its response. Also check [Bitcore-wallet] (https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet) for a simple CLI wallet implementation that relays on BWS.
|
||
|
||
BWS have a extensive test suite but have not been tested on production environments yet and have been recently released, so it it is still should be considered BETA software.
|
||
|
||
More about BWS at http://blog.bitpay.com/2015/03/05/bitcore-wallet.html
|
||
|
||
# Install
|
||
```
|
||
npm install bws
|
||
npm start
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
BWS needs mongoDB. You can configure the connection at `config.js`
|
||
|
||
BWS supports SSL and Clustering. For a detailed guide on installing BWS with extra features see [Installing BWS](https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-service/blob/master/installation.md).
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Security Considerations
|
||
* Private keys are never sent to BWS. Copayers store them locally.
|
||
* Extended public keys are stored on BWS. This allows BWS to easily check wallet balance, send offline notifications to copayers, etc.
|
||
* During wallet creation, the initial copayer creates a wallet secret that contains a private key. All copayers need to prove they have the secret by signing their information with this private key when joining the wallet. The secret should be shared using secured channels.
|
||
* A copayer could join the wallet more than once, and there is no mechanism to prevent this. See [wallet](https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet)'s confirm command, for a method for confirming copayers.
|
||
* All BWS responses are verified:
|
||
* Addresses and change addresses are derived independently and locally by the copayers from their local data.
|
||
* TX Proposals templates are signed by copayers and verified by others, so the BWS cannot create or tamper with them.
|
||
|
||
# REST API
|
||
## Authentication
|
||
|
||
In order to access a wallet, clients are required to send the headers:
|
||
```
|
||
x-identity
|
||
x-signature
|
||
```
|
||
Identity is the Peer-ID, this will identify the peer and its wallet. Signature is the current request signature, using `requestSigningKey`, the `m/1/1` derivative of the Extended Private Key.
|
||
|
||
See [Bitcore Wallet Client](https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-client/blob/master/lib/api.js#L73) for implementation details.
|
||
|
||
