The details are out of scope for this document, but note that this may complicate the signing procedure. * If one or more of the spending conditions consist of just a single key (after aggregation), the most likely one should be made the internal key. If no such condition exists, it may be worthwhile adding one that consists of an aggregation of all keys participating in all scripts combined; effectively adding an "everyone agrees" branch. If that is inacceptable, pick as internal key a point with unknown discrete logarithm. One example of such a point is ''H = point(0x0250929b74c1a04954b78b4b6035e97a5e078a5a0f28ec96d547bfee9ace803ac0)'' which is [https://github.com/ElementsProject/secp256k1-zkp/blob/11af7015de624b010424273be3d91f117f172c82/src/modules/rangeproof/main_impl.h#L16 constructed] by taking the hash of the standard uncompressed encoding of secp256k1 generator ''G'' as X coordinate. In order to avoid leaking the information that key path spending is not possible it is recommended to pick a fresh integer ''r'' in the range ''0...n-1'' uniformly at random and use ''H + rG'' as internal key. It is possible to prove that this internal key is does not have a known discrete logarithm with respect to ''G'' by revealing ''r'' to a verifier who can then reconstruct how the internal key was created. +* If the spending conditions do not require a script path, the output key should commit to an unspendable script path instead of having no script path.

This can be a balanced tree if each of the conditions these scripts correspond to are equally likely. If probabilities for each condition are known, consider constructing the tree as a Huffman tree. '''Computing the output script''' Once the spending conditions are split into an internal key <code>internal_pubkey</code> and a binary tree whose leaves are (leaf_version, script) tuples, the following Python3 algorithm can be used to compute the output script. In the code below, <code>ser_script</code> prefixes its input with a CCompactSize-encoded length. Public key objects hold 32-byte public keys according to bip-schnorr, have a method <code>get_bytes</code> to get the byte array and a method <code>tweak_add</code> which returns a new public key corresponding to the sum of the public key point and a multiple of the secp256k1 generator (similar to BIP32's derivation). The second return value of <code>tweak_add</code> is a boolean indicating the quadratic residuosity of the Y coordinate of the resulting point. <code>tagged_hash</code> computes the tagged hash according to bip-schnorr. @@ -184,7 +196,11 @@ def taproot_output_script(internal_pubkey, script_tree): script_tree is either: - a (leaf_version, script) tuple (leaf_version is 0xc0 for bip-tapscript scripts) - a list of two elements, each with the same structure as script_tree itself""" - _, h = taproot_tree_helper(script_tree) + - None + if script_tree is None: + h = b'' + else: + _, h = taproot_tree_helper(script_tree) t = tagged_hash("TapTweak", internal_pubkey.get_bytes() + h) assert int.from_bytes(t, 'big') < SECP256K1_ORDER output_pubkey, _ = internal_pubkey.tweak_add(t) |
