Asymmetric encryption most likely. I was thinking maybe user can generate their secret key pair file by themself, and let exporter to read it.

When reboot or update , user can reset those keys to related dir. 在2024年8月29日星期四 UTC+8 19:26:06<Ben Kochie> 写道： > Are you going to use symmetric or asymmetric encryption?
