Key/access management #93

Closed orthecreedence closed 2 years ago

orthecreedence commented 4 years ago

This is sort of a loose set of ideas, might want to expand these later. Just want to get them out of my head.

Key management

Users need a way to manage their keys, whether built-in or third party service.

Need some systemic way of recoverying keys or re-keying. Not just for the typical "lost my key/key was stolen" BS but things like transfer of wealth on death and all that. In other words, we might want some built-in way to manage accounts, possibly with some kind of multi-sig approval from family/trusted friends/etc.

Access management

If the public market has a web interface and server, that server might be able to act on your behalf in some respects, like automating orders for instance. This would be made possible by a system of access management where you would create a revokable sub-key and assign it specific permissions.

Note that this is really something that might be handled by the identity system: #132

I'm closing this for now.
