User keys and private data that the host cannot read #209
Anders decided on 2 October that user keys and private data must be protected from the host, including the operator of a hosted Home such as the public seed. There are no real users or value on hosted accounts yet, but that will change; this must be done before hosted accounts hold real value. Until then hosted accounts stay non-private demo accounts without wallets (#174).
Signed releases and capsules are the base, but signatures only help when something the operator does not control verifies them. On a hosted Home nothing on the user's side does this today: the browser runs whatever page the operator serves, and root on the host can run a different binary or read memory.
The chosen hosted issues are done. Test: with the full data folder, root access and control of the served pages, the operator cannot read a hosted user's wallet key or private data.
