Package local defines an implementation of an on-disk, EIP-2335 keystore.json

approach towards defining validator accounts in Prysm. A validating private key is
|
|
|
|
|
encrypted using a passphrase and its resulting encrypted file is stored as a

keystore.json file under a unique, human-readable, account namespace. This local keymanager approach

2020-10-16 18:45:14 +00:00
|
|
|
relies on storing account information on-disk, making it trivial to import, backup and
|
|
|
|
|
list all associated accounts for a user.

EIP-2335 is a keystore format defined by https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2335 for

|
|
storing and defining encryption for BLS12-381 private keys, utilized by Ethereum. This keystore.json
|
2020-10-16 18:45:14 +00:00
|
|
|
format is not compatible with the current keystore standard used in eth1 due to a lack of
|
|
|
|
|
support for KECCAK-256. Passwords utilized for key encryptions are strings of arbitrary unicode characters.
|
|
|
|
|
The password is first converted to its NFKD representation, stripped of control codes specified
|
|
|
|
|
in the EIP link above, and finally the password is UTF-8 encoded.
