Provide default options for secret key storage

Open rklaehn opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Not sure whether we should do this at all, but... when I look at the workshop code and the code of all my little examples, one thing that I always have to put into the util.rs is some way to make the keypair persistent, either in a data directory or in an env var.

Maybe we should add this to the endpoint builder as well?

Isn't this an endless list of new demands? Storage should be encrypted, use the system keyring, use a HSM, ...

I still like the current distinction of not having any storage in iroh-net but allowing things to be passed into the Endpoint::builder().

we no longer maintain code in iroh for secret key storage
