Writing Keyrings to storage #21

Closed vanitasvitae closed 5 years ago

vanitasvitae commented 6 years ago

Hi! I noticed, that Bouncy-GPG for now only focusses on reading keyrings from files etc. Is support for writing modified keyrings planned as well?

I ain't not dead yet :-) .... just a lot of "real world TODOs" .... nothing is really planed, I go on a "what the users need" base

Just for the record: I decided to create my own library due to limited time and me constantly breaking your test cases :laughing:. I'm following a similar pattern as your library though, so you might still be able to pick some of my code and port it to bouncy-gpg :)

You are welcome! Copy as much as you want — that ist what FOSS is for! 😊

Same for you obviously :)

Is this about the gpg2 secret key format where the keys are stored in private-keys-v1.d directory in individual files or reading from some secrets provider, sql, nosql etc provider? I'm interested in both, but gpg2 format first.

@jrobens Haven't decided yet - depends on what BouncyCastle provides for this

@vanitasvitae : What does your implementation support?

vanitasvitae commented 5 years ago

PGPainless currently has no real API for writing keys. If a user wants to write keys/keyrings to file, they must use the BC methods for now. Still, creating a simple API for writing is definitely something on my TODO list.

neuhalje commented 5 years ago

@jrobens storing keys in a store of your own application is recommended. I wrote a reasoning for why using gpgs storage is most likely not the best course of action.

jrobens commented 5 years ago

@neuhalje in-memory-keyring suits our use. The in-memory-keyring is highly flexible with a useful api.

@jrobens : Thanks!
