hkd32
growingv0.7.0
HMAC-based Hierarchical Key Derivation: deterministically derive a hierarchy of symmetric keys from initial keying material through repeated applications of the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) construction. Optionally supports storing root derivation passwords as a 24-word mnemonic phrase (i.e. BIP39).

bip32
growingv0.5.3
BIP32 hierarchical key derivation implemented in a generic, no_std-friendly manner. Supports deriving keys using the pure Rust k256 crate or the C library-backed secp256k1 crate
