File Force

Decentralized anonymous encrypted object/file sharing tools powered by:

• IPFS - decentralized file store (or network).
• Elliptic curve cryptography (curve: secp256k1)
• ECDH, HKDF and AES-256-CTR
• Ethereum (tracking and non-repudiation mechanism)

Install

First you need to get file-force into your project. You can use npm and package.json.

"dependencies": {
     "file-force": "https://github.com/ikonovalov/file-force.git"
}

...and

> npm install

Use in Node.js

Configuration app.yml for yaml-config module

default:
  ipfs:
    api: /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001
    enable-eth: true
    advertising-level: medium
  eth:
    datadir: ~/.geth
    api: http://localhost:8545
    event-offset: 100

development:
  eth:
    datadir: /mnt/u110/ethereum/pnet1
    account: '0x7116673528278887d37038d93bd749b66110ec35'
    password: '123321'
    mother-contract: '0x8bdfcef3d5ec77a77985d07925b05e5f9302b9a8'

Configure instance:

const CONFIG_PATH = SOME_PATH + 'app.yml';
const config = require('yaml-config').readConfig(CONFIG_PATH);
const FileForce = require('file-force');
const fileForce = new FileForce(config);

Unlock keys:

let account = '0x7116673528278887d37038d93bd749b66110ec35';
let password = '123321';
let selfKeyPair = fileForce.unlockKeys(account, password);

Add file (encrypt file (AES) -> IPFS -> tag -> encrypt with ECDH + hKDF + AES -> ecTag -> IPFS):

let path = '/tmp/some-your-file.txt';
fileForce.add(path, selfKeyPair, selfKeyPair.publicKey)
         .then((result) => {
            let ipfsHash = result.hash;
            let ecTag = result.ecTag;
            console.log(`ecTag ${ipfsHash}`);         
            console.log(`${JSON.stringify(ecTag, null, 2)}`);
         })
         .catch(error => console.error(error));

// TODO: Add stream sample and JSON object sample
