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. 

## Defining the file path for UDS

NIP-55 defines a standard way to communicate via Unix Domain Sockets (UDS). UDS needs a file path as a qualifier so that both client and server can agree on a place to exchange information.

The file path will be chosen as `/tmp/nip55`

## Communication

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.
