Elixir implementation of BIP39.

(...) implementation of a mnemonic code or mnemonic sentence -- a group of easy to remember words -- for the generation of deterministic wallets.

mnemo library exposes the following interfaces:

  • Generate random English mnemonic
  • Generate English mnemonic for pre-existing binary entropy
  • Convert English mnemonic back to its binary entropy
  • Derive a PBKDF2 hex-encoded seed from any mnemonic

The library is tested against reference vectors from Trezor's implementation. Additionally, a simple property test guarantees mnemonic <-> entropy <-> mnemonic correctness.

Examples

iex(1)> Mnemo.generate
"seminar depart parent awake canal relief age emotion swap area always near voyage exist idea aunt around burst uphold web tumble mimic reopen note"
iex(1)> mnemonic = "insect miracle play mad cream upgrade engage march absorb pyramid december observe jazz senior
 betray family valve peasant cargo marriage table laundry melody morning"
iex(2)> Mnemo.entropy(mnemonic, hex: true)
"7511ae9942d32fdd52943e00d5e0e2cc377787455a94f114448ac42dcefb62a4"
iex(1)> Mnemo.mnemonic :crypto.strong_rand_bytes(16)
"emotion enroll aspect taxi nerve warrior become lens cactus stand stage pretty"
iex(1)> Mnemo.generate |> Mnemo.seed
