Managing Keys

Options for managing keys in GoQuorum include:

• keystore files

  As with geth, keys can be stored in password-protected keystore files.

• clef

  Introduced in GoQuorum v2.6.0, clef runs as a standalone process that increases flexibility and security by handling GoQuorum’s account management responsibilities.

• account plugins

  Introduced in GoQuorum v2.7.0, account plugins allow GoQuorum or clef to be extended with alternative methods of managing accounts.
