# BAP Identity Management ## Overview This skill enables comprehensive management of BAP (Bitcoin Attestation Protocol) identity files using two complementary command-line tools: - **bap-cli**: High-level BAP identity operations (create, list, extract member identities) - **bbackup**: Low-level encryption/decryption of any JSON backup data Use this skill when working with encrypted BAP identity backups (.bep files), creating new identities, extracting member identities, encrypting/decrypting JSON files, or generating test fixtures. ## Prerequisites ### Required Tools Verify both tools are installed: ```bash bap --version bbackup --version ``` ### Installing bap-cli ```bash git clone https://github.com/b-open-io/bap-cli.git cd bap-cli bun install bun run build bun link ``` ### Installing bbackup ```bash git clone https://github.com/rohenaz/bitcoin-backup.git cd bitcoin-backup bun install bun run build bun link ``` ## Tool Selection Guide Choose the appropriate tool based on the task: ### Use bap-cli when: - Creating new BAP identities - Listing identities in a master backup - Extracting member identities from master backup - Working specifically with BAP identity structures - Generating test fixtures for automated tests ### Use bbackup when: - Encrypting arbitrary JSON data to .bep format - Decrypting .bep files to inspect contents - Upgrading encryption strength (100k → 600k iterations) - Working with non-BAP backup formats (WifBackup, OneSatBackup, VaultBacku...
