A full implementation of tang server running on node.js
- fully backward compatible with the implementation by McCallum et Al.
- keys are stored in sqlite database
- low memory usage, required less than 30MB of memory
- very high performance and scalable
- ease of use without sacrificing security
- design to be deployed on any platform
- design to be hosted as a containerized service application
- strive to achieve better performance, reliability and scalability
- resolve issues quicker because it is based on a better code base
- treat users with utmost respect

npm install tangd# command line switches:
# --port, -p server port number
# --data, -d database file path
# --ip-whitelist, -l whitelisted ip to access security sensitive API
node node_modules/tangd/index.js --data /var/db/tangd/key.sqlite3 --port 8080 --ip-whitelist "10.6.0.4 10.8.0.9"

# must also initiate a key rotation to create new keys - only whitelisted ip addresses are allowed to access this API
- the default whitelisted ip addresses are [::1 127.0.0.1]
- additional whitelist ip addresses can be specified in the environment variable and/or command line switch
