RFE: Implement SEP-0005 #188

Open kfiresmith opened 6 years ago

kfiresmith commented 6 years ago

Please implement SEP-0005, especially test case 4 (password protected 24-word mnemonically derived key seeds). This is especially important to make a common standard in light of repeated issues with people using online seed generators for other currencies, and losing their holdings in cases where the online seed generator was compromised as happened with IOTA Jan 19th.

New and novice users need a convenient and user-friendly standardized way to generate recoverable and password protected seeds using GUI tools.

Prior art (in Javascript!): https://github.com/chatch/stellar-hd-wallet

Any chance one of the SEP-0005 contributors or authors of SEP-0005 (@jedmccaleb, @manran, @bartekn, @chatch), or it's implementation in Javascript (@chatch) could submit a PR on this?

This client is the defacto primary wallet for the protocol so it'd be great to have this Stellar Enhancement implemented therein.
