There are algorithms for hierarchical deterministic key generation for the Ed22219 curve (e.g. BIP32-Ed25519).
These algorithms use extended keys, which are obtained at the first step after calculation the digest SHA-512 function from the secret key.
A bit of terminology:
SHA512(sk)
.In the
ImplSign
functions the obtained value of the extended key is stored in theh
variable.Unfortunately, the current public signing API only allows working with the regular 32-bytes secret keys from which the extended key is further calculated.
It would be great to add another entry point accepting the Extended key
