I noticed that the addresses I was deriving with rust-bitcoin and the ones I created with the taptweak'd key using this library were not the same. The problem is in how the tweak is calculated in the absence of script paths.
Per BIP-341, if there are no script paths, the internal key should still be tapTweak'd by tG, where t = TaggedHash(P_x). Before this commit, the internal key and the Taproot output key were the same if no script paths were used. This is because the tweak was the 0 scalar value, so Q = P + tG = P.
It is worth noting that Bitcoin's consensus rules will accept a non-taptweak'd internal key as it verifies a signature against whatever public key is used in the witness program. So the outputs are still spendable; however, they deviate from the BIP-341 spec.
I also noticed that in
post_dkg
, we are tweaking by[0u8; 0]
. However, the comment above it correctly states the tweak should beint(hashTapTweak(bytes(P)))G
. I can change this code slightly to be:This should just tweak with the hash of the x-only pk. Just lmk, happy to make this change as well.
