Lit Password Manager

A web3-native password manager that utilizes decentralized infrastructure and lit protocol to store and retrieve passwords.

Lit Protocol is a decentralized key management network powered by threshold cryptography. A blockchain-agnostic middleware layer, Lit can be used to read and write data between blockchains and off-chain platforms, facilitating encryption, access control, and automation for the open web via programmatic signing.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js, Antd
• Web3 Client: ethers.js
• Smartcontracts: Solidity, Hardhat
• Storage: IPFS, Pinata
• Encryption: Lit Protocol
• Blockchain Network: Polygon Mumbai
• Indexer: The Graph

Workflow Architecture:

Access Control conditions:

Its quite surprising that many people use NFT or eth balance based access control. If I posses specific NFT or balance in my account, I should be able to decrypt other users passwords? No. So, I'm using the logic where the user who encrypted the password can only decrypt it. This is a very basis of encryption and decryption of passwords. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it. I'm open to suggestions.

// only the user who encrypted the data should be able to decrypt it
const accessControlConditions = [
  {
    contractAddress: "",
    standardContractType: "",
    chain: "mumbai",
    method: "",
    parameters: [":userAddress"],
    returnValueTest: {
      comparator: "=",
      value: account // ,<=== user address should be dynamic and match the user address connected to the wallet
    }
  }
];

Prerequisites

There are some optional prerequisites that you can skip and use my deployed resources instead.

1. Node.js Nodejs version 14.17.0 or higher.
2. Private key of an Ethereum account with some ETH/Matic in it. (Optional)
3. RPC endpoint of an Ethereum node of your choice. (Optional)
4. Metamask extension installed in your browser.
5. Pinata API keys.
6. The Graph Account. (Optional)

Deployed Resources:

• Lit Password Manager App
• Lit Password Manager Subgraph
• Lit Password Manager Smartcontract

Getting Started

Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the required values.

Deploying Contract (Optional)

yarn install

yarn hardhat compile

yarn hardhat deploy --network polygonTest

# copy contract address deployed and paste it in client's .env file

Deploying Subgraph (Optional)

Note: Update the subgraph.yaml file with the contract address deployed in the previous step. Update deploy script with your own subgraph name.

cd indexer
yarn install
yarn codegen
yarn deploy

# copy subgraph url and paste it in client's .env file

Running the client

Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the required values.

cd client
yarn install
yarn dev
