What is the difference between Type42 and Legacy backups?

Type42 uses random root private keys for simplicity, while Legacy (BIP32) backups use hierarchical deterministic derivation from a mnemonic phrase.

A .bep file is a Bitcoin Encrypted Payload, typically using AES-256-GCM encryption to store BAP identities or sensitive JSON data.

Why should I upgrade my encryption iterations?

Upgrading from 100k to 600k PBKDF2 iterations follows NIST security recommendations, making it significantly harder for attackers to brute-force your password.

How does this skill help with automated testing?

It provides a programmatic API and CLI tools to generate valid BAP identities on-the-fly, which can be injected into browser tests like Playwright.

Can I recover a lost password for a BAP backup?

No, the password is used to derive the encryption key directly. If the password is lost, the data inside the .bep file cannot be recovered.

安全与测试

Manages Bitcoin Attestation Protocol (BAP) identities and secure .bep encrypted backups using bap-cli and bbackup.

关于

The bap-identity skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for managing Bitcoin Attestation Protocol (BAP) identity files and secure JSON backups. It enables developers to create new identity backups, list and extract member identities, and perform low-level encryption/decryption on .bep files using AES-256-GCM. Whether you are generating test fixtures for automated Playwright testing, upgrading legacy encryption parameters, or debugging encrypted identity structures, this skill streamlines the workflow for handling sensitive Bitcoin-related identity metadata.
