add documentation about identity keys

Open p-m opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Hi, It would be nice, if there was some documentation about the different keys for identities. Platform-TUI creates 4: auth-master, auth-high, auth-critical and transfer-critical DashPay creates 3: auth-master, auth-high and encryption-medium What are the purposes of theses keys? Why does one application create 4 keys, and another 3 keys? TIA, Peter

Hi, you can find some info about keys in the identities DIP: https://github.com/dashpay/dips/blob/master/dip-0011.md#keys. Looks like it is incomplete (transfer keys aren't mentioned and must not have been added whenever they were implemented).

Thank you. "Identities must be created with at least one authentication key in each security level.": If I understand that right, this means master, critical, high and medium. But in general they are created only with 2 or 3 authentication keys. Is this a bug in the software or in the documentation?
