signature_provider_plugin

Overview

The signature_provider_plugin is currently an internal implementation of the digital signing functionality previously implemented within the producer_plugin. Although it is currently only used by the producer_plugin, this new design allows a better separation of concerns and will enable other plugins to perform signing operations, if a future use case justifies it.

Usage

# config.ini
plugin = eosio::signature_provider_plugin

# command-line
nodeos ... --plugin eosio::signature_provider_plugin

Options

These can be specified from either the nodeos command-line or the config.ini file:
