file_key_management should support reading from a named pipe

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • Add support for reading key information from a named pipe (created with mkfifo). This allows a more secure startup where encryption keys are never stored in any file.

    Description

      It would be nice if file_key_management supported reading from a named pipe. Currently, it seeks through the file to determine its size before reading it; that's impossible with a named pipe.

      Perhaps the plugin could instead read the file in chunks and exit if it has read more than MAX_KEY_FILE_SIZE?
