Introduction to 2-of-2 Multisignature

What is 2-of-2 Multisignature?

SSP Wallet implements a true 2-of-2 multisignature system where both private keys are required to authorize any transaction. This is fundamentally different from traditional wallets that rely on a single point of failure.

How It Works

Traditional Single-Signature Wallets

[Private Key] → [Transaction] → [Broadcast]
     ↓
Single Point of Failure

SSP's 2-of-2 Multisignature System

[SSP Wallet Key] + [SSP Key Mobile] → [Valid Transaction]
       ↓                  ↓
   Required            Required

Key Benefits

🛡️ Enhanced Security

• No Single Point of Failure: Compromising one device doesn't compromise your funds

• True Two-Factor Authentication: Physical possession of both devices required

• Self-Custody: You maintain full control of your private keys

🚀 User-Friendly

• Simplified Process: Complex cryptography handled seamlessly

• Intuitive Interface: Easy-to-use for both beginners and experts

• Cross-Platform: Browser extension + mobile app

🔒 Cryptographically Sound

• BIP48 Standard: Industry-standard hierarchical deterministic key derivation

• Schnorr Signatures: Advanced cryptographic signatures for efficiency

• Account Abstraction: ERC-4337 support for smart contract wallets

Real-World Analogy

Think of SSP Wallet like a safety deposit box that requires two keys:

• You hold one key (SSP Wallet)

• You hold the second key (SSP Key on your phone)

• The bank (SSP Relay) facilitates the process but never has access to your keys

Technical Foundation

Address Generation

Each wallet address is generated using both public keys:

Address = multisig(PubKey_Wallet + PubKey_Mobile)

Transaction Signing Process

1. SSP Wallet creates and signs transaction with Key #1

2. SSP Key receives and signs transaction with Key #2

3. Complete Transaction is broadcast to the network

Why 2-of-2 Instead of 2-of-3 or Other Schemes?

2-of-2 Advantages:

• Simplicity: Only two devices to manage

• True Security: Both keys always required

• No Confusion: Clear ownership model

• Performance: Faster transaction processing

Other Schemes Drawbacks:

• 2-of-3: Introduces complexity and potential security holes

• 3-of-5: Overwhelming for average users

• 1-of-2: Defeats the purpose of multisig security
