Here is my suggestion: +The shared repository is encrypted using a key for the whole repository, just the way normal encryption would work. +The server additionally keeps a copy of every user's public key. +When a user is authorized, their repository is initialized and they receive the common key, encrypted by their public key. +The only issue would be storage of the common key, which would have to be restricted to repository on a trusted machine. + +Not sure if this would be easy for you to implement, but I figured I'd submit a post detailing it, to see if maybe it was doable. |
