Card Create & Key Backup Operations?

[hellogerard]

I was hoping the CLI would have full parity with e3kit. Are there any plans to allow the CLI to:

• Create/set a public key to a user's card in the card service.
• Backup the private key to Virgil with a password.
• Restore a private key from backup with the password.
• Delete a private key from backup.

I am assuming that there are no security reasons not do allow these things via the CLI. Thanks!

Thanks for the question. Generally speaking, E3Kit's purpose is to remove the need for developers to work directly with cards. So we would not recommend managing user cards directly if you're using E3Kit. That said, it is on our roadmap to add the ability to more closely manage cards and backup passwords via CLI, but it's not close enough to be able to give a time estimate.

Can you give more details on what you're trying to achieve so that we can help you troubleshoot?
