Pure-python Monero Wallet implementation in Python3.
Implements transaction signing protocol designed for Trezor hardware wallet as described in monero-trezor-doc.
The main purpose of this repo is to provide host side (agent) for the transaction signing with the Trezor hardware wallet. The repo also contains the initial implementation for the Trezor side. The Trezor protocol side underwent heavy refactoring and is about to be merged to the trezor-core repository.
The repo provides integration tests for Trezor wallet transaction signing.

In order to support RingCT on hardware wallet with limited resources a subdivided protocol had to be implemented. It is not feasible to process the signed transaction in one run on the hardware wallet with tens of UTXOs and multiple outputs.
The introduction to the topic is described here:
https://github.com/ph4r05/monero-trezor-doc
The documentation can be out of sync from the code. Take this source code as a primary reference.
In the current protocol it is assumed there may be multiple input UTXO (tens to hundreds). So it is optimized to work incrementally, one UTXO at a time. This is reasonable to assume as your funds may be scattered over many small transactions. On the other hand we assume the number of outputs is relatively small (small units) as it usually is in the Monero transactions.
It is quite easy to extend protocol to work with large amounts of outputs but due to the message structure which is later signed it will be needed to add two more roundrips with sending output related data one by one to the Trezor for incremental hashing.
Outputs are pinned in the beginning of the protocol - number of outputs is fixed at this point in the Trezor and HMAC with unique key (index dependent) is generated for each output. So in further roundtrips it is assured only previously pinned outputs in the exact given order are processed. The same principle is used for each data produced by the Trezor which are later used as inputs.
Agent <-> Trezor
Agent is an object supposed to run on the host PC where Trezor is the HW wallet implementation.
agent.py and trezor.py are mainly ports of the C++ code to the Python for PoC, experimentation and testing.
These versions are not optimized for usage in HW environment.
Optimized versions are agent_lite.py and trezor_lite.py.
Currently, the agent functionality is used just for testing and as a PoC. The Trezor support has been integrated to the official Monero CLI and GUI wallets.
The project depends on my monero-serialize library.
Data objects used in the Monero are defined there, it supports serialization / deserialization to binary format.
The serialized binary messages are hashed during the transaction signature.

Monero uses Ed25519 elliptic curve. The pure-python implementation is not optimized to avoid side-channel leaks (e.g., timing) as it serves mainly as PoC.
The project uses Ed25519 implementation which
works in extended Edwards coordinates (x, y, z, t).
The only code directly handling point representation is crypto.py. All other objects are using crypto.py
to do the EC computation. Point representation is opaque to the other modules.
The opaque point representation can be converted to bytearray representation suitable for transport
(compressed, y-coordinate + sign flag) using crypto.encodepoint() and crypto.decodepoint().
Scalars are represented as integers (no encoding / decoding is needed). However, we are working in modular ring so
for scalar operations such as addition, division, comparison use the crypto.sc_* methods.
Additionally to pure-python crypto backend, there is a production-ready trezor-crypto backend.
I implemented required Monero-related cryptographic algorithms to the trezor-crypto (TCRY).
TCRY implements constant-time curve operations, uses libsodium to generate random values.
Borromean Range proof was reimplemented in C for CPU and memory efficiency.
I created a python binding py-trezor-crypto which can be installed from pip. The pip builds trezor-crypto library. Please refer to the readme of the py-trezor-crypto for installation details (dependencies).
To install python bindings with agent run:
pip install -U --no-cache 'monero_agent[tcry]'
# Or laternativelly
pip install -U --no-cache py_trezor_crypto_ph4 Dependencies:
- libsodium
- pkg-config
- gcc
- python-dev
Travis tests with both crypto backends. In order to test with TCRY install all its dependencies. libsodium is the only one
dependency for the shared lib. For more info take a look at travis-install-libtrezor-crypto.sh.
Crypto dependency is selected based on the EC_BACKEND env var. 0 is for Python backend, 1 for TCRY.
Path to the TCRY is specified via LIBTREZOR_CRYPTO_PATH env var. If the TCRY is not found or could not be loaded
the code fallbacks to python backend. This behaviour can be changed by setting EC_BACKEND_FORCE env var to 1.
TCRY is also 20 times faster (unit tests).

Python uses arbitrary precision integers with a memory overhead. The following command shows the amount of memory required for certain data types and sizes:
>>> sys.getsizeof(0)
24
>>> sys.getsizeof(2**32-1) # 4B num
32
>>> sys.getsizeof(2**64-1) # 8B num
36
>>> sys.getsizeof(2**256-1) # 32B num
60
>>> sys.getsizeof(b'\x00'*32) # 32B hex
65
>>> sys.getsizeof(b'\x00'*64) # 64B hex
97Monero works in EC with 32 B numbers. To store a 32 B number it takes 60 B in integer representation and 65 B in the byte string encoded representation (some ed25519 libraries and mininero use this representation). For scalars it is apparently more effective to store integers naturally, saving both memory and CPU cycles with recoding.
EC point arithmetics can use classic point coordinates (x, y) or extended Edwards point coordinates (x,y,z,t).
It takes 64 and 80 B to store tuple of 2 and 4 elements respectively.
It thus take 184 B and 320 B to store an EC point in the natural form compared to the 65 B byte representation.
Thanks for your support!
