proxy re-encryption #41

Open julien51 opened 4 years ago

julien51 commented 4 years ago

One of the caveats of the current setup is that the notes themselves are stored in clear on IPFS. This means that someone could obviously fork this and by-pass the lock mechanism.

It is ok for a MVP, but we will need to provide a much better approach very soon. For this, we will explore proxy-re-encryption with the goal of using ownership of a key to the lock to re-encrypt content which was previously encrypted when saved.

We should look at https://github.com/nucypher and more specifically at https://github.com/johngrantuk/thisfeedisalwaysforsale

Maybe @johngrantuk might be interested in helping out!

Hey @julien51. I really enjoyed that project and found the proxy-rencryption part very interesting. I'd love to help out but I see you guys are shipping pretty fast and I don't have a great deal of spare time at the moment.

@johngrantuk ha! We'd love to work with you in any way we can. Let me email you :)
