We define the following 3 levels in BIP32 path:
-<pre>
+<code>
m / purpose' / coin_type' / identity'
-</pre>
+</code>
+
+The child keys derived from an identity are used in different ways:
+
+<code>
+m / purpose' / coin_type' / identity' / 0
+</code>
+
+The 0th (non-hardened) child is the notification key.
+
+<code>
+m / purpose' / coin_type' / identity' / 0 through 2147483647
+</code>
+
+These (non-hardened) keypairs are used for ECDH to generate deposit addresses.
+
+<code>
+m / purpose' / coin_type' / identity' / 0' through 2147483647'
+</code>
+
+These (hardened) keypairs are ephemeral payment codes.
Apostrophe in the path indicates that BIP32 hardened derivation is used.
