/*
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
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
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.
