Definition: A "normal path" is a prefix of a standard path where all the hardened steps of the standard path are included. For example, the paths m/44'/1'/17' and m/44'/1'/17'/1 are normal paths, but m/44'/1' is not. m/'199/1'/17'/0/1 is not a normal path either.
There's a compatiblity issue between old and new app: When exporting the key of a non-normal path with verify=false, the new app would return an error, whereas the old app would return the key.
See https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new/blob/master/doc/bitcoin.md#get_extended_pubkey
If format bech32m is used, we'll not use old, because it doesn't support it.
When to use new (given the app supports it)
- format is bech32m or
- path is normal or
- verify is true
Otherwise use old.
This class implements the same interface as BtcOld (formerly named Btc), but interacts with Bitcoin hardware app version 2+ which uses a totally new APDU protocol. This new protocol is documented at https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new/blob/master/doc/bitcoin.md
Since the interface must remain compatible with BtcOld, the methods of this class are quite clunky, because it needs to adapt legacy input data into the PSBT process. In the future, a new interface should be developed that exposes PSBT to the outer world, which would render a much cleaner implementation.
- ``
This is a new method that allow users to get an xpub at a standard path. Standard paths are described at https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new/blob/master/doc/bitcoin.md#description
This boils down to paths (N=0 for Bitcoin, N=1 for Testnet): M/44'/N'/x'/** M/48'/N'/x'/y'/** M/49'/N'/x'/** M/84'/N'/x'/** M/86'/N'/x'/**
The method was added because of added security in the hardware app v2+. The new hardware app will allow export of any xpub up to and including the deepest hardened key of standard derivation paths, whereas the old app would allow export of any key.
This caused an issue for callers of this class, who only had getWalletPublicKey() to call which means they have to constuct xpub themselves:
Suppose a user of this class wants to create an account xpub on a standard path, M/44'/0'/Z'. The user must get the parent key fingerprint (see BIP32) by requesting the parent key M/44'/0'. The new app won't allow that, because it only allows exporting deepest level hardened path. So the options are to allow requesting M/44'/0' from the app, or to add a new function "getWalletXpub".
We opted for adding a new function, which can greatly simplify client code.
This method returns a public key, a bitcoin address, and and a chaincode for a specific derivation path.
Limitation: If the path is not a leaf node of a standard path, the address will be the empty string "", see this.getWalletAddress() for details.

{verify: boolean?, format: AddressFormat?}?

Build and sign a transaction. See Btc.createPaymentTransactionNew for details on how to use this method.
This method will convert the legacy arguments, CreateTransactionArg, into a psbt which is finally signed and finalized, and the extracted fully signed transaction is returned.

Calculates a taproot output key from an internal key. This output key will be used as witness program in a taproot output. The internal key is tweaked according to recommendation in BIP341: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki#cite_ref-22-0

This class will dispatch a client command coming from the hardware device to the appropriate client command implementation. Those client commands typically requests data from a merkle tree or merkelized maps.
A ClientCommandInterpreter is prepared by adding the merkle trees and merkelized maps it should be able to serve to the hardware device. This class doesn't know anything about the semantics of the data it holds, it just serves merkle data. It doesn't even know in what context it is being executed, ie SignPsbt, getWalletAddress, etc.
If the command yelds results to the client, as signPsbt does, the yielded data will be accessible after the command completed by calling getYielded(), which will return the yields in the same order as they came in.
progressCallback
function (): void
Extends PsbtV2
This class merkelizes a PSBTv2, by merkelizing the different maps of the psbt. This is used during the transaction signing process, where the hardware app can request specific parts of the psbt from the client code and be sure that the response data actually belong to the psbt. The reason for this is the limited amount of memory available to the app, so it can't always store the full psbt in memory.
The signing process is documented at https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new/blob/master/doc/bitcoin.md#sign_psbt
psbt
PsbtV2
This class implements the merkle tree used by Ledger Bitcoin app v2+, which is documented at https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new/blob/master/doc/merkle.md
This implements "Merkelized Maps", documented at https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new/blob/master/doc/merkle.md#merkleized-maps
A merkelized map consist of two merkle trees, one for the keys of a map and one for the values of the same map, thus the two merkle trees have the same shape. The commitment is the number elements in the map followed by the keys' merkle root followed by the values' merkle root.
keys
Array<Buffer> Sorted list of (unhashed) keysvalues
Array<Buffer> values, in corresponding order as the keys, and of equal length
The Bitcon hardware app uses a descriptors-like thing to describe how to construct output scripts from keys. A "Wallet Policy" consists of a "Descriptor Template" and a list of "keys". A key is basically a serialized BIP32 extended public key with some added derivation path information. This is documented at https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new/blob/master/doc/wallet.md

This implements the "Transaction Extractor" role of BIP370 (PSBTv2 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0370.mediawiki#transaction-extractor). However the role is partially documented in BIP174 (PSBTv0 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki#transaction-extractor).
psbt
PsbtV2
Returns Buffer
This roughly implements the "input finalizer" role of BIP370 (PSBTv2 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0370.mediawiki). However the role is documented in BIP174 (PSBTv0 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki).
Verify that all inputs have a signature, and set inputFinalScriptwitness and/or inputFinalScriptSig depending on the type of the spent outputs. Clean fields that aren't useful anymore, partial signatures, redeem script and derivation paths.
psbt
PsbtV2 The psbt with all signatures added as partial sigs, either through PSBT_IN_PARTIAL_SIG or PSBT_IN_TAP_KEY_SIG
Returns void
Deletes fields that are no longer neccesary from the psbt.
Note, the spec doesn't say anything about removing ouput fields like PSBT_OUT_BIP32_DERIVATION_PATH and others, so we keep them without actually knowing why. I think we should remove them too.
Writes a script push operation to buf, which looks different depending on the size of the data. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script#Constants
buf
BufferWriter the BufferWriter to write todata
Buffer the Buffer to be pushed.
Implements Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction version 2, BIP370, as documented at https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0370.mediawiki and https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki
A psbt is a data structure that can carry all relevant information about a transaction through all stages of the signing process. From constructing an unsigned transaction to extracting the final serialized transaction ready for broadcast.
This implementation is limited to what's needed in ledgerjs to carry out its duties, which means that support for features like multisig or taproot script path spending are not implemented. Specifically, it supports p2pkh, p2wpkhWrappedInP2sh, p2wpkh and p2tr key path spending.
This class is made purposefully dumb, so it's easy to add support for complemantary fields as needed in the future.
