Keys API
The Keybase interface
The Keybase interface defines the methods that a type needs to implement to be used as key storage backend. This package provides few implementations out-of-the-box.
Constructors
New
The New constructor returns
an on-disk implementation backed by LevelDB storage that has been the default implementation used by the SDK until v0.38.0.
Due to security concerns, we recommend to drop
it in favor of the NewKeyring or NewKeyringFile constructors. We strongly advise to migrate away from this function as it may be removed in a future
release.
NewInMemory
The NewInMemory constructor returns an implementation backed by an in-memory, goroutine-safe map that we've historically used for testing purposes or on-the-fly key generation and we consider safe for the aforementioned use cases since the generated keys are discarded when the process terminates or the type instance is garbage collected.
NewKeyring
The NewKeyring constructor returns an implementation backed by the Keyring library, whose aim is to provide a common abstraction and uniform interface between secret stores available for Windows, macOS, and most GNU/Linux distributions. The instance returned by this constructor will use the operating system's default credentials store, which will then handle keys storage operations securely.
NewKeyringFile, NewTestKeyring
Both NewKeyringFile and
NewTestKeyring constructors return
on-disk implementations backed by the Keyring file backend.
Whilst NewKeyringFile returns a secure, encrypted file-based type that requires user's password in order to
function correctly, the implementation returned by NewTestKeyring stores keys information in clear text and must be used
only for testing purposes.
NewKeyringFile and NewTestKeyring store key files in the client home directory's keyring
and keyring-test subdirectories respectively.
