PKIDB

Proof-of-concept PKI-based database.

Description

A Flask application to provide endpoints for setting/getting values.

All keys are relative to the fingerprint (SHA256(n)) of the public key.

A valid signature must be provided when setting data.

There are three endpoints:

• /get - get value stored at key, relative to public key fingerprint
• /set - set value of key, relative to public key fingerprint
• /list - list all keys, optionally relative to parent

Currently, two database implementations are provided: dictionary (in-memory) or file-based.

Use Cases

PKIDB is useful where all data should be publicly accessible, but only writable by those with the corresponding private key.
