Exploring key/pair derivation on some nsec/npub concepts that would allow some pretty flexible use cases and lead to some helpful nips that could improve on the current basic key-pair. Preview sketches attached.

PROGRESS:

✅ Initial thoughts for developing use cases.

🟩 define the secure key derivation method.

🟩 Write up a Nostr Improvement Proposal (NIP) draft.

🟩 Share sketches and ideas with the Nostr community for feedback.

🟩 Partner with dev on application to explore isolated user-friendly key mgmt implementation.

NSEC - Nostr Secret Key.

NPUB - Nostr Public Key.

NSUB - Subordinate NSEC with revokability. A unique NSEC derived from an NSEC that generates the same NPUB as originating NSEC.

MSEC - Multi Secret Key. An NSEC derived from an NSEC that results in a unique NPUB.

MPUB - Multi Public Key. NSEC derived NPUB series to have multiple NPUBs on an NSEC.

Very draft mode here. Lots of tweaking to come. These are noted to be just NSECs and NPUBs on the network and are just specially named behind the scenes for Key Manager and Client Side Use.
