NetHSM secp256k1 and HD wallet support

We going to use NetHSM to sign transactions in Ethereum and Bitcoin networks. We want to import some keys and then use REST API to sign outgoing transactions.

But in docs I could not find information, that NetHSM supports ECDSA secp256k1, but some versions of Nitrokey does. Also I’m not able to find any information about HD wallet generation (BIP32, BIP39).

Does NetHSM supports secp256k1 and BIP32?

I found information about the possibility of using keys generated by the ECDSA algorithm on the page https://www.nitrokey.com/products/nethsm
(in the NetHSM Specification 2 section). But I couldn’t find it in the documentation.

Maybe someone can tell you if NetHSM is capable of generating keys using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) over a specific elliptic curve secp256k1?

Support for secp256k1 is coming with the next software update. Support for BIP32 is on the roadmap without a planned release date yet.
