Word to Index
Each word maps to an 11-bit index (0-2047) in the BIP-39 wordlist.
Concatenate Bits
12 words × 11 bits = 132 bits total (128 bits entropy + 4 bits checksum).
Checksum Validation
SHA256(entropy) → first 4 bits must match extracted checksum.
Fixed BIP-39 Algorithm Implementation
The Fix: Proper Checksum Implementation
The “Invalid Secret Phrase” error occurred because of incorrect checksum calculation. Here’s the fixed implementation:
checksum = hash[0] >> 4 // Only 4 bits from first byte
NEW (Correct):
// For 12 words: 128 bits entropy → 4 bits checksum
checksum = (hash[0] >> 4) & 0x0F // Proper 4-bit extraction
Complete Fixed Algorithm:
// Generate valid BIP-39 seed phrase
async function generateValidSeedPhrase() {
// 1. Generate 128 bits (16 bytes) of entropy
const entropy = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(16));
// 2. Calculate SHA256 hash
const hash = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', entropy);
const hashBytes = new Uint8Array(hash);
// 3. Extract checksum (first 4 bits of hash for 12 words)
const checksumBits = hashBytes[0] >> 4; // Correct: shift right by 4
// 4. Combine entropy + checksum
const bits = [];
// Add entropy bits
for (let byte of entropy) {
for (let i = 7; i >= 0; i--) {
bits.push((byte >> i) & 1);
}
}
// Add checksum bits
for (let i = 3; i >= 0; i--) {
bits.push((checksumBits >> i) & 1);
}
// 5. Split into 11-bit chunks and map to words
const words = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 132; i += 11) {
let index = 0;
for (let j = 0; j < 11; j++) {
index = (index << 1) | bits[i + j];
}
words.push(bip39Wordlist[index]);
}
return words;
}
Common Issues Fixed:
Bit Order
Bits must be processed in correct order (MSB first).
Checksum Bits
Checksum bits must be appended in correct order.
Word Index
11-bit chunks must be interpreted as big-endian integers.
