Technical details of wallet encryption
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
Wallet encryption uses AES-256-CBC to encrypt only the private keys
|
||||
that are held in a wallet. The keys are encrypted with a master key
|
||||
which is entirely random. This master key is then encrypted with
|
||||
AES-256-CBC with a key derived from the passphrase using SHA512 and
|
||||
OpenSSL's EVP_BytesToKey and a dynamic number of rounds determined by
|
||||
the speed of the machine which does the initial encryption (and is
|
||||
updated based on the speed of a computer which does a subsequent
|
||||
passphrase change). Although the underlying code supports multiple
|
||||
encrypted copies of the same master key (and thus multiple passphrases)
|
||||
the client does not yet have a method to add additional passphrases.
|
||||
|
||||
At runtime, the client loads the wallet as it normally would, however
|
||||
the keystore stores the keys in encrypted form. When the passphrase
|
||||
is required (to top up keypool or send coins) it will either be queried
|
||||
by a GUI prompt, or must first be entered with the walletpassphrase
|
||||
RPC command. This will change the wallet to "unlocked" state where the
|
||||
unencrypted master key is stored in memory (in the case of GUI, only for
|
||||
long enough to complete the requested operation, in RPC, for as long as
|
||||
is specified by the second parameter to walletpassphrase). The wallet is
|
||||
then locked (or can be manually locked using the walletlock RPC command)
|
||||
and the unencrypted master key is removed from memory.
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation details of wallet encryption
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
When the wallet is locked, calls to sendtoaddress, sendfrom, sendmany,
|
||||
and keypoolrefill will return Error -13: "Error: Please enter the wallet
|
||||
passphrase with walletpassphrase first."
|
||||
|
||||
When the wallet is unlocked, calls to walletpassphrase will fail.
|
||||
|
||||
When a wallet is encrypted, the passphrase is required to top up the
|
||||
keypool, thus, if the passphrase is rarely entered, it is possible that
|
||||
keypool might run out. In this case, the default key will be used as the
|
||||
target for payouts for mining, and calls to getnewaddress and getaccount
|
||||
address will return an error. In order to prevent such cases, the keypool
|
||||
is automatically refilled when walletpassphrase is called with a correct
|
||||
passphrase and when topupkeypool is called (while the wallet is unlocked).
|
||||
Note that the keypool continues to be topped up on various occasions when
|
||||
a new key from pool is used and the wallet is unlocked (or unencrypted).

Locking/mutex usage notes
|
||||
|
||||
The code is multi-threaded, and uses mutexes and the CRITICAL_BLOCK/TRY_CRITICAL_BLOCK macros to protect data structures.
|
||||
|
||||
Deadlocks due to inconsistent lock ordering (thread 1 locks cs_main and then cs_wallet, while thread 2 locks them in the opposite order: result, deadlock as each waits for the other to release its lock) are a problem. Compile with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER to get lock order inconsistencies reported in the debug.log file.
|
||||
|
||||
Re-architecting the core code so there are better-defined interfaces between the various components is a goal, with any necessary locking done by the components (e.g. see the self-contained CKeyStore class and its cs_KeyStore lock for example).
