Problem

     Encryption/decryption keys that are used by client and server may expire or revoked any time! Currently the system does not explicitly handles such situations, and most likely won't work on its own, which will require manual manipulation of keys on both client & server sides in case of such a case.

Proposition

  • Add a key revocation scheme and overwrite expired/revoked keys with fresh ones. (Related to Old Keys are not overwritten #6 )
  • Check whether the keys in drive are updated, remove old key (don't just blatantly import what's there)
    • Need to be careful about security weaknesses here, make it clear what are we assuming
  • Actively request fresh keys from either side. (which will require a daemon to listen and respond such requests)
