Rework felony.json

Open frankcash opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Right now felony.json stores all keys added. This creates a problem since the User's private key is also stored in that file.

Some ways to go about this:

  1. We need to think of a more secure way of storing the private key
  2. not storing it and forcing the user to input it.

Definitely open to suggestions.

I could see this getting worked on with (#9)

Nice project, but not realy mature for massive use...

Some suggestions...

  • Make keychain invisible: exemple .felony.json. It's not a good idea to have it exposed at the root of user home directory.
  • Maybe separate public and private keys storage in separate files...
  • Add backup(#9) and import(#7) functions for private key in UI. This is missing...

How about encrypting the user's private key or the whole of felony.json with a master password which the user must provide every time?
