Securely(?) sharing private keys using DHTs & one-time tokens
Raw
gistfile1.txt
‪From the initiating client (owner)‬
1. create a short-code (say 12 lowercase hex characters)‬
2. Using the dat archives public key, encrypt that value, let that be token‬
3. poll a DHT for token's value‬
4. Once we receive a value for that token, encrypt the archive private key with the received public key & save as a file
‪From the new client:‬
1. Ask the user to input the short-code from the same dat archive
2. Using the archives public-key, encrypt that value
3. Create a new public/private key pair
4. Publish the token to a DHT with the public key as the value
5. Wait for archive to update
6. On update, read the file amd decrypt the archive private key using the private key generated in step 3
