# NIP-55 - Unix Domain Socket Communication NIP-55
======
Unix Domain Socket Communication
--------------------------------
`optional`
For the purpose of this NIP, we will define a standard way to communicate via Unix Domain Sockets (UDS). UDS is a way to communicate between processes on the same machine. This NIP will define a standard way to communicate between the client and the server.

## Communication ## Communication
There are potentially many ways to communicate over this socket, one way would be the JSON-RPC collection found in NIP-46. Communications over this socket will be done via the JSON-RPC collection found in NIP-46. This will allow for a standard way to communicate between the client and the server.
## Motivation
Managing private keys across multiple applications can be tedious and insecure.
By centralizing key management, users can store their private keys in a single, secure application. This key management application will handle all signing requests from other applications via UDS, ensuring that private keys are never exposed to individual applications.
