Encrypting data with Multichain addresses

Thu, 19 Jul 2018 11:32:10 +0000

In the tutorial on stream confidentiality ( https://www.multichain.com/developers/stream-confidentiality/ ), in order to encrpyt and decrypt data, the example suggests generating RSA keypairs using Open-SSL , publishing to a pubkeys stream and encrypting data intended for the receiving with his pubkeys.

This adds an additional overhead of generating and maintaining a separate set of keys on the application side for each address.

Instead of that, why not sure multichain addresses (pub-priv key pair) to encrypt and decrypt the symkeys? I do not see encrypt or decrypt APIs available, only sign and verify.

What kind of external library would I need to use to use these multichain keys for encryption and decryption instead?

Or is there any other better approach for privacy

Privacy handling in Multichain

Hi,

is there any information available, that describes privacy handling in Multichain, e.g. what happens if we store user information and the user wants us to remove all his information?

Thanks Frank
