Abstract

Hierarchical Deterministic Keys enables managing large sets of keys bound to a secure cryptographic device that protects a single key. This enables the development of secure digital identity wallets providing many one-time-use public keys. Some instantiations can be implemented in such a way that the secure cryptographic device does not need to support key blinding, enabling the use of devices that already are widely deployed.
