Description

Carbonado can be used to encrypt consignment bytes. It's recommended that consignments are decoded before put into Carbonado format, and to specify c7 format (compression, encryption, stream verification, without error correction codes, because RGB proxy does not require durability), then transmitted and stored as binary.

Carbonado keys are derived using NIP-06, which makes wallet support easier.

This doesn't actually require much of the proxy server since this would just be an end to end encryption standard between wallets, just that it can receive and store files in binary and not just text, and perhaps it might need to associate or communicate the ECDH PK.

What does everyone think? If folks think it's a good idea, I can write up a spec PR.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by clarifying the proposed ECDH and Carbonado format requirements, including binary storage and whether the proxy must associate or communicate a public key; done would be a settled specification or an agreed implementation scope.
