Encryption #12

Closed Stebalien closed 7 years ago

Stebalien commented 7 years ago

This issue is just for the record.

IMO, we should handle encryption at either a layer below this archive (IPLD or the data within) or a layer above (wrapping the entire CAR). I see no reason to include it in the standard itself as any valid use for encryption in CARs is also valid for collections of IPLD objects outside of a CAR.
