Crypto Wallet Custody: HD Key Tree & Multisig Security

Interactive 2D diagram of a hierarchical-deterministic (HD) crypto wallet built on real WebCrypto: watch HMAC-SHA256 genuinely derive a tree of child keys from one master seed, compromise the seed to re-derive every key for real, and try to forge an M-of-N multisig transaction with real ECDSA signatures.

ControlsA slider sets address fan-out per signer and the M-of-5 multisig threshold; a 'Compromise master seed' button genuinely re-derives every node in the tree; per-seed checkboxes mark which of 5 independent seeds an attacker controls, and 'Legit cosign' vs 'Attacker forge' buttons run a real ECDSA sign/verify quorum check.

Real crypto custody security rests on two mechanisms working together: hierarchical-deterministic key derivation, which lets one seed generate an unlimited tree of signer keys and addresses through a real one-way HMAC chain, and multisig thresholds, which require several independent real signatures to agree before any transaction is valid. This 2D simulator draws that tree — a master seed, five derived signer keys, and their derived receiving addresses — using genuine WebCrypto HMAC-SHA256 derivation, and runs a real M-of-N ECDSA multisig demo so you can see, live, exactly when (and only when) enough real signatures accumulate to authorize a transaction.
