Storage scheme

This extension handles storage of credentials. It assumes credentials are encrypted before they are passed to it.

Storage procedure

This extension takes the following steps to store credentials:

1. Listens for a 'message' event of the following form:

   {
       message: "setHoloCredentials",
       credentials: {
           unencryptedCreds: {
               firstName: "John"
               ...
               serverSignature: "0xabc..."
           },
           encryptedCreds: "0x123..."
       }
   }
   

2. Upon receiving a "setHoloCredentials" message, it does the following:

   1. Check the shape of the provided object to ensure the exptected keys are present.
   2. Ask the user if they want to store the credentials.
   3. If user confirms that they want to store the credentials, the extension stores credentials.encryptedCreds in chrome storage.

Suggested encryption procedure

It is highly recommended that credentials are encrypted before being stored. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure their credentials are encrypted prior to being stored.

The recommended encryption procedure is the following.

1. Given a credential object that accords with the credential object schema, convert it to a string with the JSON.stringify function.

   const credsStr = JSON.stringify(credentials);
   

2. Then encrypt the resultant string.

        lastName: "",
