There is no requirement for key attributes.  

BCNF needs every attribute which is fully and non-transitionally dependent on every candidate key.  

Above means that every BCNF relation is a 2NF but every 2NF relation isn't necessarily BCNF.  

So, BCNF is stronger than 2NF.  

That holds up though at least totally to 5NF.
