Symmetric pub auth #21

Open singpolyma opened 6 years ago

singpolyma commented 6 years ago

Most discussions of authentication for publishing is based on public keys. However, I think there may be a usecase for using symmetric/passphrase signing (think hmac) so that I could publish from anywhere that has an IPFS node so long as I know the password.
