dpki-Ethereum

A Distributed Public key Infrastructure…

… with Ethereum and IPFS

No general purpose… Just for learning and have fun… !

How to ?

Setup

# Clone and cd to the repo
git clone https://github.com/guillaumecz/dpki-Ethereum.git
cd dpki-Ethereum

# Install npm dependencies

npm run daemons

# Migrate contracts to network
truffle migrate

Use

./cli/dpki -h –> Get help

There are two types of actions :

IPFS

• ./cli/dpki ipfs-save <filePath> : Add a specified file to the ipfs network, returns the newly created ipfs-address
• ./cli/dpki ipfs-cat <ipfs-addr>: Get the value of file stored at on IPFS

  Ethereum

• ./cli/dpki new <name> <ipfsId>: Save into Ethereum the association between the given <name> and <fileOrIpfsId>. Has an option (-f) to specify if it has to store a file into IPFS before interacting with Ethereum.
  • ./cli/dpki new -f <name> <filePath>: Save into Ethereum the association between the given <name> and <fileOrIpfsId>. Has an option (-f) to specify if it has to store a file into IPFS before interacting with Ethereum. -./cli/dpki key <name>: Get the IPFS address of the public key file of the user <name.

Trust system (on dev)

• ./cli/dpki trust-him <name>: Trust the user

Tests
