Client side key management

Open Tbaut opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

To remove the hurdle of key management from the node, this task should be given to the UI.

So our choices are:

  • let Electron handle it, e.g. using a library like https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js
  • add a proxy on top of parity: https://github.com/tomusdrw/jsonrpc-proxy
  • https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/cmd/clef

Any other ideas?

@Tbaut The benefit of having this in the node and not fether is that fether is a graphical UI. What about headless systems? What about automated systems?

Will fether have a cli for the first and an API for the second? Until it does I think it is critical that the node continue to handle key management. (I made a comment to that thread maybe you want to require --not-recommended or something to allow for this).
