Account management application wrapper

ElvCore

Purpose

This application serves as a secure account management wrapper around other applications (e.g. the fabric browser). ElvCore contains users' current account information (accounts, current account, private keys, etc.) and can perform fabric API requests and blockchain interactions on behalf of the contained app, allowing the app to perform actions, while never allowing it to gain access to the user's credentials.

The contained app is run in a sandboxed IFrame. It can make API requests using the FrameBrowser client. This client will pass messages to ElvCore corresponding to specific API calls. Upon receiving a request message, ElvCore will make the request using the current user's credentials, then pass the result back to the contained app as another messsage.

See ElvClient documentation for more details)
