scope:

This standard specifies the key management for blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, including the following:

a) Key generation and storage modes that support multiple asymmetric encryption schemes;

b) Derivation and use of multi-level hierarchical accounts used by root keys on different blockchain systems;

c) Protocol specifications for mutual identity anchoring of public keys/addresses generated between different cryptography.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to:

a) Provide a reference for the use and management of keys for organizations that plan to use blockchain and distributed ledger technology to build blockchain and distributed ledger systems;

b) Guide the blockchain and distributed ledger service providers to establish key management modules for blockchain and distributed ledger systems;

c) Provide a key management reference for middleware service organizations in the construction process of blockchain and distributed ledger systems.
