Feature: NIP-46 Remote Signing (Nostr Connect)
As a Nostr user
I want to use a remote signer (bunker) to sign on my behalf
So that my private keys remain on a minimal, secure surface while clients interact safely
Background:
Given the newsroom application is running
And a Nostr test relay is available
And I have a client keypair with public key "eff37350d839ce3707332348af4549a96051bd695d3223af4aabce4993531d86"
And a remote-signer-pubkey "fa984bd7dbb282f07e16e7ae87b26a2a7b9b90b7246a44771f0cf5ae58018f52"
And a user-pubkey "fa984bd7dbb282f07e16e7ae87b26a2a7b9b90b7246a44771f0cf5ae58018f52"
# ===== Connection Initiation =====
Scenario: Client-initiated connection using nostrconnect URI
Given I construct a nostrconnect URI with:
| Field | Value |
| origin | nostrconnect://eff37350d839ce3707332348af4549a96051bd695d3223af4aabce4993531d86 |
| relay | wss://relay1.example.com |
| relay | wss://relay2.example2.com |
| secret | 0s8j2djs |
| perms | nip44_encrypt,nip44_decrypt,sign_event:13,sign_event:14,sign_event:1059 |
| name | My Client |
When the client sends a kind 24133 request event "connect" encrypted with NIP-44 and p-tagged to the remote-signer-pubkey
Then I should receive a kind 24133 response from the remote-signer-pubkey p-tagged to the client pubkey
And the response content should decrypt to a JSON with the same id
And the result should equal the provided secret "0s8j2djs"
Scenario: Remote-signer-initiated connection using bunker URL
Given the remote signer provides token:
| bunker_url | bunker://fa984bd7dbb282f07e16e7ae87b26a2a7b9b90b7246a44771f0cf5ae58018f52?relay=wss://relay.example.com&secret=abc123 |
When the client sends a kind 24133 request event "connect" with optional secret "abc123"
Then the remote signer should respond with a kind 24133 "ack" (or secret echo) addressed to the client pubkey
Scenario: Secret validation prevents spoofed connections
Given I initiate a connection with secret "nonce-secret-1"
And the remote signer responds with a different secret "nonce-secret-2"
Then the client must reject the connection due to secret mismatch
Scenario: Secret is single-use
Given I successfully establish a connection using secret "one-time-nonce"
When I attempt to establish another connection using the same secret "one-time-nonce"
Then the remote signer should ignore or reject the new connection attempt
# ===== Key roles and discovery =====
Scenario: Client distinguishes remote-signer-pubkey from user-pubkey
Given the remote signer completes the handshake
When the client calls method "get_public_key"
Then the response should contain the user-pubkey
And the client must not assume user-pubkey == remote-signer-pubkey without calling get_public_key
Scenario: Client keypair integrity check
Given the client generated a local client keypair
And the nostrconnect URI origin includes the client-pubkey
Then the derived pubkey from the local secret must match the URI origin pubkey
# ===== Methods and Permissions =====
Scenario: Permissions requested during connect
Given the client requested permissions "nip44_encrypt,sign_event:4"
When the remote signer presents an approval UI to the user
And the user approves the requested permissions
Then subsequent calls to nip44_encrypt and sign_event with kind 4 should succeed
Scenario: Permission denied for unapproved method
Given the client requested permissions "sign_event:14"
And the user approved only "sign_event:14"
When the client attempts to call method "nip44_encrypt"
Then the remote signer should return an error "permission denied"
Scenario: Permission denied for disallowed kind
Given the client requested permissions "sign_event:1"
And the user approved only "sign_event:1"
When the client attempts to call method "sign_event" with kind 7
Then the remote signer should return an error "permission denied"
# ===== Signing Flow (Happy Path) =====
Scenario: Sign event via remote signer (happy path)
Given there is an established connection between client and remote signer
And the client knows the user-pubkey via get_public_key
When the client sends a kind 24133 request with method "sign_event" and params:
| Field | Value |
| kind | 1 |
| content | Hello, I'm signing remotely |
| tags | [] |
| created_at | current timestamp |
Then the remote signer returns a kind 24133 response to the client pubkey
And the response contains the same id and a signed_event in result
And the signed_event must verify against the user-pubkey
# ===== Other Methods =====
Scenario: Ping/Pong
Given there is an established connection
When the client sends method "ping"
Then the remote signer should respond with result "pong"
Scenario Outline: NIP-04 and NIP-44 encrypt/decrypt
Given there is an established connection
When the client calls "<method>" with parameters "<params>"
Then the remote signer should return a valid "<result_type>"
Examples:
| method | params | result_type |
| nip04_encrypt | [third_party_pubkey, plaintext] | nip04_ciphertext |
| nip04_decrypt | [third_party_pubkey, nip04_ciphertext] | plaintext |
| nip44_encrypt | [third_party_pubkey, plaintext] | nip44_ciphertext |
| nip44_decrypt | [third_party_pubkey, nip44_ciphertext] | plaintext |
# ===== Error Handling and Security =====
Scenario Outline: Connection and messaging validation failures
Given there is a pending or established connection
When I send a request with "<invalid_condition>"
Then I should receive an error "<error_message>"
Examples:
| invalid_condition | error_message |
| missing p tag | missing required p tag |
| response missing or wrong id | response id mismatch |
| response not addressed to client | p tag does not contain client pubkey |
| wrong author on response | response not from remote-signer-pubkey |
| invalid NIP-44 ciphertext | decryption failed |
| malformed JSON-RPC payload | invalid request payload |
| missing method field | missing required field |
| unknown method | method not supported |
| replayed request id | duplicate or stale request id |
Scenario: Auth challenge flow
Given there is an established connection
And the remote signer requires out-of-band authentication
When the client sends method "sign_event"
Then the remote signer first responds with result "auth_url" and error "https://remote.example.com/auth?id=<request_id>"
And the client opens the URL for the user and waits for completion
And the remote signer later responds again with the same id and a valid signed_event in result
# ===== Interop and Discovery =====
Scenario: Remote signer metadata via NIP-05 and NIP-89
Given the remote signer publishes nip05 and nip89 metadata announcing relays and nostrconnect_url
When the client discovers the remote signer
Then the client may pre-generate nostrconnect URIs and must verify nip05 names includes the remote signer app pubkey
# ===== Regressions: Removed legacy features =====
Scenario: NIP-05 login is removed
Given a client attempts legacy nip05 login flow
Then the server should reject it and instruct to use NIP-46 remote signing
Scenario: create_account moved to another NIP
Given there is an established connection
When the client calls method "create_account"
Then the remote signer should return an error "method not supported"
