Introduction to Multi-Signing

Multi-signing in Ripple is the act of authorizing transactions for the Ripple Consensus Ledger by using a combination of multiple secret keys. After setting up multi-signing for an account, you can put the master secret in cold storage, or even disable the master key entirely. With multiple secret keys required to authorize a multi-signature, you can improve security in several ways.

  • If you keep an account's keys on different devices, a malicious user must compromise multiple machines in order to send transactions on your behalf.
  • If the keys to an account are in the custody of entirely different people, those people must collaborate in order to send transaction from that account.
  • You can use the SignerList as a backup, to delegate a group of others who can send transactions for you if you are unavailable or unable to sign using your regular key.
  • Even more uses than can be described here.

Availability of Multi-Signing

Multi-signing is due to be enabled by an Amendment to the Ripple Consensus Protocol. This Amendment must be approved by a consensus of validators showing consistent support for the feature over a period of time. For more information, see Amendments (TODO: link).

You can test multi-signing by running rippled in stand-alone mode with the feature enabled. In stand-alone mode, rippled does not communicate with the rest of the Ripple peer-to-peer network, but you can perform most of the same actions on your local server only. This way, you can be sure that you are ready for multi-signing when it goes live.

How to Multi-Sign

The basic process of Multi-Signing a transaction is necessarily more complex than the process of signing a transaction with a single master key or regular key.

1. Download and build rippled with multi-sign

Until a binary for rippled with multi-signing is available, the best you can do is build it from source.

$ git clone git@github.com:scottschurr/rippled.git (TODO: switch to a Ripple Labs repo when available)
$ git checkout fix-sign_for
$ scons

See rippled build instructions for help building from source.

2. Configure rippled to enable MultiSign

Add the following to the bottom of the config file:

[features]
MultiSign

Note that this stanza is case-sensitive.

3. Start rippled in stand-alone mode

If you have previously synced to the network, you can have the server load the latest ledger as a starting place for stand-alone mode using the --load commandline option:

$ sudo ./build/rippled --conf=/home/mduo13/.config/ripple/rippled.cfg -a --load

If you'd rather start from scratch, you can use the --start commandline option to create a fresh ledger. In this case, the root account holds all 100 billion XRP:

Address: rHb9CJAWyB4rj91VRWn96DkukG4bwdtyTh

Secret: snoPBrXtMeMyMHUVTgbuqAfg1SUTb ("masterpassphrase")

4. Generate keys for a new wallet

This step is not strictly necessary. For this process, we generate the keys to a new Ripple account and then set up multi-signing for that account. To set up multi-signing on an existing Ripple account, just use the keys to that account.

$ build/rippled wallet_propose
Loading: "/home/mduo13/.config/ripple/rippled.cfg"
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:5005
{
   "result" : {
      "account_id" : "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
      "key_type" : "secp256k1",
      "master_key" : "NED MANA SPA BLUR HERS HEAT RED NIBS MAIN MELT NOB RARE",
      "master_seed" : "shqZZy2Rzs9ZqWTCQAdqc3bKgxnYq",
      "master_seed_hex" : "99C7F2DCD88218372B7509ADF7DC562B",
      "public_key" : "aBPvx491i2ZPVzmxoAmAVq5qXAxAZgmjfxoMTxFCg9Xxf2xwVVLc",
      "public_key_hex" : "0303E20EC6B4A39A629815AE02C0A1393B9225E3B890CAE45B59F42FA29BE9668D",
      "status" : "success"
   }
}

As always, be sure that an account's secret key never gets transmitted to anyone you don't trust with full control of that account, and certainly not unencrypted over the network.

5. Fund the new account with an existing wallet

Again, this step is only necessary if you are setting up a new account to use multi-signing for this example.

$ build/rippled submit <your existing account secret> '{
>   "TransactionType" : "Payment",
>   "Account" : "<your existing account address>",
>   "Destination" : "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
>   "Amount" : "100000000",
>   "Flags": 2147483648
> }'
Loading: "/home/mduo13/.config/ripple/rippled.cfg"
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:5005
{
   "result" : {
      "engine_result" : "tesSUCCESS",
      "engine_result_code" : 0,
      "engine_result_message" : "The transaction was applied. Only final in a validated ledger.",
      "status" : "success",
      "tx_blob" : "1200002280000000240000001E614000000005F5E10068400000000000000A7321023693F15967AE357D0327974AD46FE3C127113B1110D6044FD41E723689F81CC67446304402207AB5D16F58E9E6ADBBDD24837CAB80D871860E47EB0840FE57403FB979755A6D022015FE7A8838BEE6C18962C246D6D27791B7EE34B93415AE3824D12564E7A886C6811493B89AFCAD4C8EAC2B131C1331FEF12AE1522BBE83142DECAB42CA805119A9BA2FF305C9AFA12F0B86A1",
      "tx_json" : {
         "Account" : "rN7n7otQDd6FczFgLdSqtcsAUxDkw6fzRH",
         "Amount" : "100000000",
         "Destination" : "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
         "Fee" : "10",
         "Flags" : 2147483648,
         "Sequence" : 30,
         "SigningPubKey" : "023693F15967AE357D0327974AD46FE3C127113B1110D6044FD41E723689F81CC6",
         "TransactionType" : "Payment",
         "TxnSignature" : "304402207AB5D16F58E9E6ADBBDD24837CAB80D871860E47EB0840FE57403FB979755A6D022015FE7A8838BEE6C18962C246D6D27791B7EE34B93415AE3824D12564E7A886C6",

      }
   }
}

6. Manually close the ledger

In the live network, you would simply wait for the ledger to close automatically as the result of consensus. However, a rippled node running in stand-alone mode does not engage in consensus, so you must manually close the ledger with the ledger_accept command.

$ build/rippled ledger_accept
Loading: "/home/mduo13/.config/ripple/rippled.cfg"
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:5005
{
   "result" : {
      "ledger_current_index" : 16061437,
      "status" : "success"
   }
}

7. Create a SignerList on the new account with a SignerListSet transaction

Before you can multi-sign transactions, you must associate a SignerList with your account, so that RCL knows which keys can be used to sign for you. You do this with a SignerListSet transaction.

In this example, the SignerList has 3 members, with the weights and quorum set up such that multi-signed transactions need a signature from rsA2LpzuawewSBQXkiju3YQTMzW13pAAdW plus at least one signature from the other two members of the list. The Account values you use in your list can be funded accounts that exist in the ledger or just unused addresses.

$ build/rippled submit shqZZy2Rzs9ZqWTCQAdqc3bKgxnYq '{
>     "Flags": 0,
>     "TransactionType": "SignerListSet",
>     "Account": "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
>     "Fee": "10000",
>     "SignerQuorum": 3,

>                 "SignerWeight": 2
>             }
>         },
>         {
>             "SignerEntry": {
>                 "Account": "rUpy3eEg8rqjqfUoLeBnZkscbKbFsKXC3v",
>                 "SignerWeight": 1
>             }
>         },

>                 "SignerWeight": 1
>             }
>         }
>     ]

                  "SignerWeight" : 2
               }
            },

                  "SignerWeight" : 1
               }
            }
         ],

      }
   }
}

8. Manually close the ledger again

As before, you would wait for the ledger to close on a live network. We use the ledger_accept command to manually close the ledger when running rippled in stand-alone mode.

$ build/rippled ledger_accept
Loading: "/home/mduo13/.config/ripple/rippled.cfg"
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:5005
{
   "result" : {
      "ledger_current_index" : 16061438,
      "status" : "success"
   }
}

9. Confirm the presence of the new signer list using account_objects

Normally an account has lots of different types of objects, but for this new account, the only thing we've done is add a SignerList, so it should be easy to find in the results of the account_objects command.

$ build/rippled account_objects rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H
Loading: "/home/mduo13/.config/ripple/rippled.cfg"
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:5005
{
   "result" : {
      "account" : "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
      "account_objects" : [
         {
            "Flags" : 0,
            "LedgerEntryType" : "SignerList",
            "OwnerNode" : "0000000000000000",
            "PreviousTxnID" : "3950D98AD20DA52EBB1F3937EF32F382D74092A4C8DF9A0B1A06ED25200B5756",
            "PreviousTxnLgrSeq" : 16061437,
            "SignerEntries" : [
               {
                  "SignerEntry" : {
                     "Account" : "rsA2LpzuawewSBQXkiju3YQTMzW13pAAdW",
                     "SignerWeight" : 2
                  }
               },
               {
                  "SignerEntry" : {
                     "Account" : "raKEEVSGnKSD9Zyvxu4z6Pqpm4ABH8FS6n",
                     "SignerWeight" : 1
                  }
               },
               {
                  "SignerEntry" : {
                     "Account" : "rUpy3eEg8rqjqfUoLeBnZkscbKbFsKXC3v",
                     "SignerWeight" : 1
                  }
               }
            ],
            "SignerListID" : 0,
            "SignerQuorum" : 3,
            "index" : "92373B9F1683001079764527F0BD553ED8656A9934FE641A7F0A0BF4DB230E0E"
         }
      ],
      "ledger_current_index" : 16061438,
      "status" : "success",
      "validated" : false
   }
}

10. Create a new transaction that you plan to multi-sign

You have to specify everything about this transaction, including Fee and Sequence. Also include the field SigningPubKey as an empty string -- this indicates that the transaction is multi-signed.

Here's an example transaction we can send from our test account:

{
    "TransactionType": "TrustSet",
    "Account": "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
    "Flags": 262144,
    "LimitAmount": {
      "currency": "USD",
      "issuer": "rf1BiGeXwwQoi8Z2ueFYTEXSwuJYfV2Jpn",
      "value": "100"
    },
    "Sequence": 2,
    "SigningPubKey":"",
    "Fee": "12000"
}

(If you started from a fresh ledger, you first need to fund the account specified by the issuer in this example, and then manually close the ledger.)

Keep in mind that the Fee for multi-signed transactions is significantly higher than for regularly-signed transactions. It should be (N+1) times the normal fee, where N is the number of signatures you plan to provide. Given that it sometimes takes a while to collect signatures from multiple sources, you may want to include additional buffer in case the load fee increases in that time.

11. Get a signature using the sign_for command

$ build/rippled sign_for rsA2LpzuawewSBQXkiju3YQTMzW13pAAdW <rsA2's secret> '{
>     "TransactionType": "TrustSet",
>     "Account": "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
>     "Flags": 262144,
>     "LimitAmount": {

>       "value": "100"
>     },
>     "Sequence": 2,

      "tx_json" : {
         "Account" : "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
         "Fee" : "12000",
         "Flags" : 262144,
         "LimitAmount" : {
            "currency" : "USD",
            "issuer" : "rf1BiGeXwwQoi8Z2ueFYTEXSwuJYfV2Jpn",
            "value" : "100"
         },

      }
   }
}

The valuable part in the response is the Signers field. This is the part that you're going to need later in order to construct the full, multi-signed transaction.

The other parts, such as the tx_blob, are not very useful at this point, unless you're "multi-signing" a transaction with only one signature.

12. Get additional signatures the same way

If the accounts in your SignerList are funded accounts, the secret key you use to sign for those accounts can come from the regular key (if they have one), or the master key (unless it's disabled). For accounts that don't exist in the ledger, you can only use the master secret associated with the address.

$ build/rippled sign_for rUpy3eEg8rqjqfUoLeBnZkscbKbFsKXC3v <rUpy's secret> '{
    "TransactionType": "TrustSet",
    "Account": "rnBFvgZphmN39GWzUJeUitaP22Fr9be75H",
    "Flags": 262144,

Depending on the SignerList you configured, you may need to repeat this step several times in order to get signatures from all the necessary parties.

13. Combine the signatures and submit

Take the contents of all the Signers arrays from all the responses, and concatenate them in to a single Signers array field. The commandline syntax for the submit_multisigned command takes a single JSON object with two elements: this combined Signers array; and tx_json, which is the transaction JSON that they signed.

This command actually submits the transaction for inclusion in the ledger. In online mode, this relays it to other members of the network.

Take note of the hash value from the response (In this case, it's 878C1C988305D87070F3E961FC27AC9D02C46FFDD92FC7EBB74E962344E58C78) so you can check the results of the transaction later.

14. Manually close the ledger one last time

Once again, you would wait for the ledger to close on a live network. We use the ledger_accept command to manually close the ledger when running rippled in stand-alone mode.

      "status" : "success"
   }
}

15. Confirm the results of the transaction

Use the hash value from the response to the submit_multisigned command.

In particular, check that the TransactionResult is the string tesSUCCESS.

On the live network, you must also confirm that the validated field is set to the boolean true. If not, you might need to wait longer for the consensus process to finish; or your transaction may be unable to be included in a ledger for some reason. In stand-alone mode, the server automatically considers a ledger to be validated if it has been manually closed.
