ASGARDEX-CRYPTO
The ASGARDEX CRYPTO package is a crypto package used by all ASGARDEX
clients.
ASGARDEX-CRYPTO encrypts a master phrase to a keystore. This keystore can then be exported to other ASGARDEX wallets or stored securely.
Users can export their phrase and import them into other wallets since it is a BIP39 compatible phrase.
Design
Typically keystore files encrypt a seed
to a file, however this is not appropriate or UX friendly, since the phrase cannot be recovered after the fact.
Crypto design:
[entropy] -> [phrase] -> [seed] -> [privateKey] -> [publicKey] -> [address]
Instead, ASGARDEX-CRYPTO stores the phrase in a keystore file, then decrypts and passes this phrase to other clients:
[keystore] -> ASGARDEX-CRYPTO -> [phrase] -> ChainClient
The ChainClients can then convert this into their respective key-pairs and addresses. Users can also export their phrases after the fact, ensuring they have saved it securely. This could enhance UX onboarding since users aren't forced to write their phrases down immediately for empty or test wallets.
