===Background===
Key tweaking is a procedure for creating a cryptographic commitment to some
Key tweaking is a procedure for creating a cryptographic commitment to a
message using elliptic curve properties. The procedure uses the discrete log
problem (DLP) to commit to an extra-transaction message. This is done by adding
to a public key (for which the output owner knows the corresponding private key)
a hash of the message multiplied on the generator point G of the elliptic curve.
This produces a tweaked public key, containing the commitment. Later, in order
to spend an output containing P2C commitment, the same commitment should be
This produces a tweaked public key containing the commitment. Later, in order
to spend an output containing the P2C commitment, the same commitment should be
added to the corresponding private key.
This type of commitment was originally proposed as a part of the pay to contract
concept by Ilja Gerhardt and Timo Hanke in [1] and later used by Eternity Wall
[2] for the same purpose. Since that time multiple different protocols for P2C
has been developed, including OpenTimeStamps [3], Elements sidechain P2C tweaks

have been developed, including OpenTimeStamps [3], Elements sidechain P2C tweaks
[4] and LNPBP-1 [5], used for constructing Peter Todd's single-use-seals [6]
in client-side-validation protocols like RGB.
===Motivation===
P2C outputs can be detected onchain and spent only if the output owner
not just knows the corresponding original private key, but also is aware about
P2C tweak applied to the public key. In order to produce a valid signature, the
not only knows the corresponding original private key, but also is aware of
a P2C tweak applied to the public key. In order to produce a valid signature, the
same tweak value must be added (modulo group order) to the original private key
by a signer device. This represents a challenge for external signers, which may
not have any information about such commitment. This proposal addresses this
issue by adding relevant fields to the PSBT input information.
