When I set an attribute to private it's not accessible from outside, but everyone who runs a node can still see it.

Someone told me to use encryption to hide attribute values, but how should this work, would not everyone also see than the key I used to encrypt my data? Is there a default way to handle this in Solidity?

  • The solution there is also to encrypt the data. But how to do it? If I do it from outside the blockchain I need to store the keys by myself, what would destroy the intention of the blockchain, because I could lose the key or it get stolen. If I store it in the blockchain you have the problem I mentioned above. How to do it, is there a way in Solidity?

  • @user7014175 AFAIK the easy solution is not to store private data in a contract. You can use an oracle to process private data outside your contract. A possible alternative is to use zksnarks but it is very recent and the libraries are developing.
