Signer is a service that gives access to the signing functionality of the daemon's wallet.

• rpc ComputeInputScript (SignReq, InputScriptResp)

  signer.proto:40

  ComputeInputScript generates a complete InputIndex for the passed transaction with the signature as defined within the passed SignDescriptor. This method should be capable of generating the proper input script for both regular p2wkh/p2tr outputs and p2wkh outputs nested within a regular p2sh output. Note that when using this method to sign inputs belonging to the wallet, the only items of the SignDescriptor that need to be populated are pkScript in the TxOut field, the value in that same field, and finally the input index.

  message InputScriptResp

  signer.proto:323

  • repeated InputScript input_scripts = 1

    The set of fully valid input scripts requested.

• rpc DeriveSharedKey (SharedKeyRequest, SharedKeyResponse)

  signer.proto:70

  DeriveSharedKey returns a shared secret key by performing Diffie-Hellman key derivation between the ephemeral public key in the request and the node's key specified in the key_desc parameter. Either a key locator or a raw public key is expected in the key_desc, if neither is supplied, defaults to the node's identity private key: P_shared = privKeyNode * ephemeralPubkey The resulting shared public key is serialized in the compressed format and hashed with sha256, resulting in the final key length of 256bit.

  message SharedKeyRequest

  signer.proto:396

  • bytes ephemeral_pubkey = 1

    The ephemeral public key to use for the DH key derivation.

  • optional KeyLocator key_loc = 2

    Deprecated. The optional key locator of the local key that should be used. If this parameter is not set then the node's identity private key will be used.

  • optional KeyDescriptor key_desc = 3

    A key descriptor describes the key used for performing ECDH. Either a key locator or a raw public key is expected, if neither is supplied, defaults to the node's identity private key.

  message SharedKeyResponse

  signer.proto:415

  • bytes shared_key = 1

    The shared public key, hashed with sha256.

• rpc MuSig2Cleanup (MuSig2CleanupRequest, MuSig2CleanupResponse)

  signer.proto:151

  MuSig2Cleanup (experimental!) allows a caller to clean up a session early in cases where it's obvious that the signing session won't succeed and the resources can be released. NOTE: The MuSig2 BIP is not final yet and therefore this API must be considered to be HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change in upcoming releases. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed!

  message MuSig2CleanupRequest

  signer.proto:695

  • bytes session_id = 1

    The unique ID of the signing session that should be removed/cleaned up.

  message MuSig2CleanupResponse

  signer.proto:702

  (message has no fields)

• rpc MuSig2CombineKeys (MuSig2CombineKeysRequest, MuSig2CombineKeysResponse)

  signer.proto:85

  MuSig2CombineKeys (experimental!) is a stateless helper RPC that can be used to calculate the combined MuSig2 public key from a list of all participating signers' public keys. This RPC is completely stateless and deterministic and does not create any signing session. It can be used to determine the Taproot public key that should be put in an on-chain output once all public keys are known. A signing session is only needed later when that output should be _spent_ again. NOTE: The MuSig2 BIP is not final yet and therefore this API must be considered to be HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change in upcoming releases. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed!

  message MuSig2CombineKeysRequest

  signer.proto:474

  • repeated bytes all_signer_pubkeys = 1

    A list of all public keys (serialized in 32-byte x-only format for v0.4.0 and 33-byte compressed format for v1.0.0rc2!) participating in the signing session. The list will always be sorted lexicographically internally. This must include the local key which is described by the above key_loc.

  • repeated TweakDesc tweaks = 2

    A series of optional generic tweaks to be applied to the the aggregated public key.

  • optional TaprootTweakDesc taproot_tweak = 3

    An optional taproot specific tweak that must be specified if the MuSig2 combined key will be used as the main taproot key of a taproot output on-chain.

  • MuSig2Version version = 4

    The mandatory version of the MuSig2 BIP draft to use. This is necessary to differentiate between the changes that were made to the BIP while this experimental RPC was already released. Some of those changes affect how the combined key and nonces are created.

  message MuSig2CombineKeysResponse

  signer.proto:505

  • bytes combined_key = 1

    The combined public key (in the 32-byte x-only format) with all tweaks applied to it. If a taproot tweak is specified, this corresponds to the taproot key that can be put into the on-chain output.

  • bytes taproot_internal_key = 2

    The raw combined public key (in the 32-byte x-only format) before any tweaks are applied to it. If a taproot tweak is specified, this corresponds to the internal key that needs to be put into the witness if the script spend path is used.

  • MuSig2Version version = 4

    The version of the MuSig2 BIP that was used to combine the keys.

• rpc MuSig2CombineSig (MuSig2CombineSigRequest, MuSig2CombineSigResponse)

  signer.proto:139

  MuSig2CombineSig (experimental!) combines the given partial signature(s) with the local one, if it already exists. Once a partial signature of all participants is registered, the final signature will be combined and returned. NOTE: The MuSig2 BIP is not final yet and therefore this API must be considered to be HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change in upcoming releases. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed!

  message MuSig2CombineSigRequest

  signer.proto:668

  • bytes session_id = 1

    The unique ID of the signing session to combine the signatures for.

  • repeated bytes other_partial_signatures = 2

    The list of all other participants' partial signatures to add to the current session.

  message MuSig2CombineSigResponse

  signer.proto:681

  • bool have_all_signatures = 1

    Indicates whether all partial signatures required to create a final, full signature are known yet. If this is true, then the final_signature field is set, otherwise it is empty.

  • bytes final_signature = 2

    The final, full signature that is valid for the combined public key.

• rpc MuSig2CreateSession (MuSig2SessionRequest, MuSig2SessionResponse)

  signer.proto:100

  MuSig2CreateSession (experimental!) creates a new MuSig2 signing session using the local key identified by the key locator. The complete list of all public keys of all signing parties must be provided, including the public key of the local signing key. If nonces of other parties are already known, they can be submitted as well to reduce the number of RPC calls necessary later on. NOTE: The MuSig2 BIP is not final yet and therefore this API must be considered to be HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change in upcoming releases. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed!

    The key locator that identifies which key to use for signing.

  • repeated bytes all_signer_pubkeys = 2

    A list of all public keys (serialized in 32-byte x-only format for v0.4.0 and 33-byte compressed format for v1.0.0rc2!) participating in the signing session. The list will always be sorted lexicographically internally. This must include the local key which is described by the above key_loc.

  • repeated bytes other_signer_public_nonces = 3

    An optional list of all public nonces of other signing participants that might already be known.

  • repeated TweakDesc tweaks = 4

    A series of optional generic tweaks to be applied to the the aggregated public key.

  • optional TaprootTweakDesc taproot_tweak = 5

  • MuSig2Version version = 6

    The mandatory version of the MuSig2 BIP draft to use. This is necessary to differentiate between the changes that were made to the BIP while this experimental RPC was already released. Some of those changes affect how the combined key and nonces are created.

  • bytes pregenerated_local_nonce = 7

    A set of pre generated secret local nonces to use in the musig2 session. This field is optional. This can be useful for protocols that need to send nonces ahead of time before the set of signer keys are known. This value MUST be 97 bytes and be the concatenation of two CSPRNG generated 32 byte values and local public key used for signing as specified in the key_loc field.

  message MuSig2SessionResponse

  signer.proto:579

  • bytes session_id = 1

    The unique ID that represents this signing session. A session can be used for producing a signature a single time. If the signing fails for any reason, a new session with the same participants needs to be created.

  • bytes combined_key = 2

    The combined public key (in the 32-byte x-only format) with all tweaks applied to it. If a taproot tweak is specified, this corresponds to the taproot key that can be put into the on-chain output.

  • bytes taproot_internal_key = 3

    The raw combined public key (in the 32-byte x-only format) before any tweaks are applied to it. If a taproot tweak is specified, this corresponds to the internal key that needs to be put into the witness if the script spend path is used.

  • bytes local_public_nonces = 4

    The two public nonces the local signer uses, combined into a single value of 66 bytes. Can be split into the two 33-byte points to get the individual nonces.

  • bool have_all_nonces = 5

    Indicates whether all nonces required to start the signing process are known now.

  • MuSig2Version version = 6

    The version of the MuSig2 BIP that was used to create the session.

• rpc MuSig2RegisterNonces (MuSig2RegisterNoncesRequest, MuSig2RegisterNoncesResponse)

  signer.proto:112

  MuSig2RegisterNonces (experimental!) registers one or more public nonces of other signing participants for a session identified by its ID. This RPC can be called multiple times until all nonces are registered. NOTE: The MuSig2 BIP is not final yet and therefore this API must be considered to be HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change in upcoming releases. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed!

  message MuSig2RegisterNoncesRequest

  signer.proto:621

  • bytes session_id = 1

    The unique ID of the signing session those nonces should be registered with.

  • repeated bytes other_signer_public_nonces = 3

    A list of all public nonces of other signing participants that should be registered.

  message MuSig2RegisterNoncesResponse

  signer.proto:634

  • bool have_all_nonces = 1

    Indicates whether all nonces required to start the signing process are known now.

• rpc MuSig2Sign (MuSig2SignRequest, MuSig2SignResponse)

  signer.proto:127

  MuSig2Sign (experimental!) creates a partial signature using the local signing key that was specified when the session was created. This can only be called when all public nonces of all participants are known and have been registered with the session. If this node isn't responsible for combining all the partial signatures, then the cleanup flag should be set, indicating that the session can be removed from memory once the signature was produced. NOTE: The MuSig2 BIP is not final yet and therefore this API must be considered to be HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change in upcoming releases. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed!

  message MuSig2SignRequest

  signer.proto:642

  • bytes session_id = 1

    The unique ID of the signing session to use for signing.

  • bytes message_digest = 2

    The 32-byte SHA256 digest of the message to sign.

  • bool cleanup = 3

    Cleanup indicates that after signing, the session state can be cleaned up, since another participant is going to be responsible for combining the partial signatures.

  message MuSig2SignResponse

  signer.proto:661

  • bytes local_partial_signature = 1

    The partial signature created by the local signer.

• rpc SignMessage (SignMessageReq, SignMessageResp)

  signer.proto:49

  SignMessage signs a message with the key specified in the key locator. The returned signature is fixed-size LN wire format encoded. The main difference to SignMessage in the main RPC is that a specific key is used to sign the message instead of the node identity private key.

  message SignMessageReq

  signer.proto:328

  • bytes msg = 1

    The message to be signed. When using REST, this field must be encoded as base64.

  • optional KeyLocator key_loc = 2

    The key locator that identifies which key to use for signing.

  • bool double_hash = 3

    Double-SHA256 hash instead of just the default single round.

  • bool compact_sig = 4

    Use the compact (pubkey recoverable) format instead of the raw lnwire format. This option cannot be used with Schnorr signatures.

  • bool schnorr_sig = 5

    Use Schnorr signature. This option cannot be used with compact format.

  • bytes schnorr_sig_tap_tweak = 6

    The optional Taproot tweak bytes to apply to the private key before creating a Schnorr signature. The private key is tweaked as described in BIP-341: privKey + h_tapTweak(internalKey || tapTweak)

  message SignMessageResp

  signer.proto:359

  • bytes signature = 1

    The signature for the given message in the fixed-size LN wire format.

• rpc SignOutputRaw (SignReq, SignResp)

  signer.proto:26

  SignOutputRaw is a method that can be used to generated a signature for a set of inputs/outputs to a transaction. Each request specifies details concerning how the outputs should be signed, which keys they should be signed with, and also any optional tweaks. The return value is a fixed 64-byte signature (the same format as we use on the wire in Lightning). If we are unable to sign using the specified keys, then an error will be returned.

  message SignResp

  signer.proto:304

  • repeated bytes raw_sigs = 1

    A set of signatures realized in a fixed 64-byte format ordered in ascending input order.

• rpc VerifyMessage (VerifyMessageReq, VerifyMessageResp)

  signer.proto:58

  VerifyMessage verifies a signature over a message using the public key provided. The signature must be fixed-size LN wire format encoded. The main difference to VerifyMessage in the main RPC is that the public key used to sign the message does not have to be a node known to the network.

  message VerifyMessageReq

  signer.proto:366

  • bytes msg = 1

    The message over which the signature is to be verified. When using REST, this field must be encoded as base64.

  • bytes signature = 2

    The fixed-size LN wire encoded signature to be verified over the given message. When using REST, this field must be encoded as base64.

  • bytes pubkey = 3

    The public key the signature has to be valid for. When using REST, this field must be encoded as base64. If the is_schnorr_sig option is true, then the public key is expected to be in the 32-byte x-only serialization according to BIP-340.

  • bool is_schnorr_sig = 4

    Specifies if the signature is a Schnorr signature.

  message VerifyMessageResp

  signer.proto:391

  • bool valid = 1

    Whether the signature was valid over the given message.

Used as field type in: SharedKeyRequest, SignDescriptor

• bytes raw_key_bytes = 1

  The raw bytes of the public key in the key pair being identified. Either this or the KeyLocator must be specified.

• optional KeyLocator key_loc = 2

  The key locator that identifies which private key to use for signing. Either this or the raw bytes of the target public key must be specified.

Used as request type in: walletrpc.WalletKit.DeriveKey

Used as field type in: KeyDescriptor, MuSig2SessionRequest, SharedKeyRequest, SignMessageReq

• int32 key_family = 1

  The family of key being identified.

• int32 key_index = 2

  The precise index of the key being identified.

Used in: MuSig2CombineKeysRequest, MuSig2CombineKeysResponse, MuSig2SessionRequest, MuSig2SessionResponse

• MUSIG2_VERSION_UNDEFINED = 0

  The default value on the RPC is zero for enums so we need to represent an invalid/undefined version by default to make sure clients upgrade their software to set the version explicitly.

• MUSIG2_VERSION_V040 = 1

  The version of MuSig2 that lnd 0.15.x shipped with, which corresponds to the version v0.4.0 of the MuSig2 BIP draft.

• MUSIG2_VERSION_V100RC2 = 2

  The current version of MuSig2 which corresponds to the version v1.0.0rc2 of the MuSig2 BIP draft.

Used in: SignReq

• optional KeyDescriptor key_desc = 1

  A descriptor that precisely describes *which* key to use for signing. This may provide the raw public key directly, or require the Signer to re-derive the key according to the populated derivation path. Note that if the key descriptor was obtained through walletrpc.DeriveKey, then the key locator MUST always be provided, since the derived keys are not persisted unlike with DeriveNextKey.

• bytes single_tweak = 2

  A scalar value that will be added to the private key corresponding to the above public key to obtain the private key to be used to sign this input. This value is typically derived via the following computation: derivedKey = privkey + sha256(perCommitmentPoint || pubKey) mod N

• bytes double_tweak = 3

  A private key that will be used in combination with its corresponding private key to derive the private key that is to be used to sign the target input. Within the Lightning protocol, this value is typically the commitment secret from a previously revoked commitment transaction. This value is in combination with two hash values, and the original private key to derive the private key to be used when signing. k = (privKey*sha256(pubKey || tweakPub) + tweakPriv*sha256(tweakPub || pubKey)) mod N

• bytes tap_tweak = 10

  The 32 byte input to the taproot tweak derivation that is used to derive the output key from an internal key: outputKey = internalKey + tagged_hash("tapTweak", internalKey || tapTweak). When doing a BIP 86 spend, this field can be an empty byte slice. When doing a normal key path spend, with the output key committing to an actual script root, then this field should be: the tapscript root hash.

• bytes witness_script = 4

  The full script required to properly redeem the output. This field will only be populated if a p2tr, p2wsh or a p2sh output is being signed. If a taproot script path spend is being attempted, then this should be the raw leaf script.

• optional TxOut output = 5

  A description of the output being spent. The value and script MUST be provided.

• uint32 sighash = 7

  The target sighash type that should be used when generating the final sighash, and signature.

• int32 input_index = 8

  The target input within the transaction that should be signed.

• SignMethod sign_method = 9

  The sign method specifies how the input should be signed. Depending on the method, either the tap_tweak, witness_script or both need to be specified. Defaults to SegWit v0 signing to be backward compatible with older RPC clients.

Used in: SignDescriptor

• SIGN_METHOD_WITNESS_V0 = 0

  Specifies that a SegWit v0 (p2wkh, np2wkh, p2wsh) input script should be signed.

• SIGN_METHOD_TAPROOT_KEY_SPEND_BIP0086 = 1

  Specifies that a SegWit v1 (p2tr) input should be signed by using the BIP0086 method (commit to internal key only).

• SIGN_METHOD_TAPROOT_KEY_SPEND = 2

  Specifies that a SegWit v1 (p2tr) input should be signed by using a given taproot hash to commit to in addition to the internal key.

• SIGN_METHOD_TAPROOT_SCRIPT_SPEND = 3

  Specifies that a SegWit v1 (p2tr) input should be spent using the script path and that a specific leaf script should be signed for.

Used as request type in: Signer.ComputeInputScript, Signer.SignOutputRaw

• bytes raw_tx_bytes = 1

  The raw bytes of the transaction to be signed.

• repeated SignDescriptor sign_descs = 2

  A set of sign descriptors, for each input to be signed.

• repeated TxOut prev_outputs = 3

  The full list of UTXO information for each of the inputs being spent. This is required when spending one or more taproot (SegWit v1) outputs.

Used in: MuSig2CombineKeysRequest, MuSig2SessionRequest

• bytes script_root = 1

  The root hash of the tapscript tree if a script path is committed to. If the MuSig2 key put on chain doesn't also commit to a script path (BIP-0086 key spend only), then this needs to be empty and the key_spend_only field below must be set to true. This is required because gRPC cannot differentiate between a zero-size byte slice and a nil byte slice (both would be serialized the same way). So the extra boolean is required.

• bool key_spend_only = 2

  Indicates that the above script_root is expected to be empty because this is a BIP-0086 key spend only commitment where only the internal key is committed to instead of also including a script root hash.

Used in: MuSig2CombineKeysRequest, MuSig2SessionRequest

• bytes tweak = 1

  Tweak is the 32-byte value that will modify the public key.

• bool is_x_only = 2

  Specifies if the target key should be converted to an x-only public key before tweaking. If true, then the public key will be mapped to an x-only key before the tweaking operation is applied.

Used in: SignDescriptor, SignReq, walletrpc.SendOutputsRequest

• int64 value = 1

  The value of the output being spent.

• bytes pk_script = 2

  The script of the output being spent.
