Saving Web Crypto Keys using indexedDB

This is a working example on how to store CryptoKeys locally in your browser. We are able to save the objects, without serializing them. This means we can keep them not exportable (which might be more secure?? not sure what attack vectors this prevents).

To try out this example, first make sure you are in a browser that has support for async...await and indexedDB (latest chrome canary with chrome://flags "Enable Experimental Javascript" works). Load some page and copy and paste this code into the console. Then call encryptDataSaveKey(). This will create a private/public key pair and encrypted some random data with the private key. Then save both of them. Now reload the page, copy in the code, and run loadKeyDecryptData(). It will load the keys and encrypted data and decrypt it. You should see the same data logged both times.

How to deal with JWT expiration?

First of all, please note that token expiration and revoking are two different things.

  1. Expiration only happens for web apps, not for native mobile apps, because native apps never expire.
  2. Revoking only happens when (1) uses click the logout button on the website or native Apps;(2) users reset their passwords; (3) users revoke their tokens explicitly in the administration panel.

1. How to hadle JWT expiration

A JWT token that never expires is dangerous if the token is stolen then someone can always access the user's data.

Quoted from JWT RFC:

which packages depend on qtdb lib?

bazel query 'rdeps(..., //vistar/geo/qtdb:go_default_library)' --output package 

which packages does qtdb depend on?
