Private Transaction Manager
GoQuorum uses a Private Transaction Manager, Tessera, to implement private transactions.
The Private Transaction Manager is a separate component that is concerned with the storing and distribution of encrypted private transaction data between recipients of a private transaction.
To enable private transactions, use the PRIVATE_CONFIG environment variable when starting a GoQuorum
node to provide the node with the path to the Privacy Manager’s .ipc socket, e.g.:
export PRIVATE_CONFIG=path/to/tm.ipc
The Private Transaction Manager has two components:
- Transaction Manager
- Enclave
