Introduction
- tokenpass-server is an implementation of the Starfish identity scheme, which takes the form of a node.js web server.
- tokenpass-desktop, a cross platform desktop app implementation (Mac, Windows, Linux) is powered by tokenpass-server. The desktop app wraps the tokenpass-server in an app format.
How tokenpass-server works
tokenpass-server is an implementation of the Starfish scheme that takes the form of a node.js module that runs as a web server at port 21000.
The web server receives POST requests at its /sign endpoint and signs the request message with its embedded wallet and returns the HTTP response.
As of v0.1.0, the response format looks like this:
{
"address": <The Signer Bitcoin Address>,
"sig": <The Signature>,
"message": <The message that was requested and signed>,
"ts": <The unix timestamp at which the signature was made>
}Using the node module
Install the module in your project:
npm install --save tokenpass-serverAnd then start the server:
import * as tokenpass from 'tokenpass-server'
tokenpass({
db: <The Key Path for TokenPass>
})It will start a /sign endpoint at port 21000.
If you make a POST request with a "message" attribute, it will sign the message and return the response.

<script>
fetch("http://localhost:21000/sign", {
method: 'post',
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
message: "Sign this message!"
})
}).then((res) => {
return res.json()
}).then((res) => {
console.log("Respons", res)
})
</script>
</html>Running as standalone
If you want to run tokenpass-server as a standalone app instead of a node module, you should first checkout the TokenPass app, which wraps the tokenpass-server module in a cross platform app format that supports Mac, Windows, and Linux.
But if you must directly run tokenpass-server without running it as an app format, you can also do that. Just do:
npm install -g tokenpass-serverto install globally, and then run

- Sign endpoint accepts optional encoding to support signing binary data such as sigma messagehash buffers.
