Description 

This project aims to improve fabric sdk node security modules with following issues

• HSM has been supported and documented in Nodejs sdk , but not all OS platform and HSM providers are under test coverage.

• KeyStore model are suffering from an ugly model design that not recommended in ES6+ code convention.

• Offline client signing is supported in Nodejs SDK. New sample or even general common module of fabric client signing is needed in form of like fabric-android-keystore or fabric-web-keystore

Additional Information

• Client signing design doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gj5XB7yS-pfjpvZEUQh5lBGSIE6aQemu8A69tAYQtTc

• Refactor keystore model issue: https://gerrit.hyperledger.org/r/#/c/24749/

Learning Objectives

• Establish connection with Nodejs SDK, fabric CI communities and contributors

• Cyber security algorithm hands-on experience

• Understand the basic workflow of fabric

• Being able to implement features for SDK

• Application level thinking in design common module and sample.

Expected Outcome

• update HSM integration test

• update HSM document

• project fabric-client-keystore
