Authentication

Summary

The nonefly applets communicate with clients via network, and it's dangerous without any authentication.

Details

Currently the authentication is planned to be like this:

• Fresh installation:
  1. SSH connection from client to server;
  2. Install nonefly applets on server;
  3. Configure secret passphrase.
• Passphrase authentication:
  1. Client send request with passphrase;
  2. Check passphrase on server, execute if correct.
• Passphrase updating:
  1. Client send passphrase updating request with old passphrase and new passphrase;
  2. Check passphrase on server, execute if correct.
