In April 2024, Distrust engaged NCC Group’s Cryptography Services team to perform a cryptographic security assessment of keyfork, described as “an opinionated and modular toolchain for generating and managing a wide range of cryptographic keys offline and on smartcards from a shared mnemonic phrase”. The tool is intended to be run on an air-gapped system and allows a user to split or recover a cryptographic key using Shamir Secret Sharing, with shares imported and exported using mechanisms such as mnemonics or QR codes. These shares can be managed by one or more users, with a defined threshold of shares required to recover the original secret. A retest was conducted in May 2024, which resulted in all findings and notes being marked Fixed.
The review targeted the tagged release keyfork-v0.1.0 of the keyfork repository. Distrust indicated that memory-related (e.g., zeroization) and timing-related attacks were not a concern due to the trusted nature of the hardware and its environment, and as such were not investigated in detail.
Several engagement notes and several low impact findings were uncovered, each of which were promptly addressed by Distrust.
