Increase auth token security #261

Closed numere-bot closed 1 week ago

numere-bot commented 1 month ago

DESCRIPTION

Describe, what you observe or want to be changed: This is related to the implementation of #204. The auth token, which is necessary to implement this feature using the GitHub REST API, has to be stored in a secure way to avoid abuse.

Describe, what you expect to happen: The auth token is either stored as an additional encrypted file or embedded in binary during compile time.


DEVS' SECTION

ANALYSIS

We'll embed the encrypted code into the binary during compile time together with the decryption code.
