Overview
To interact with the nodes in the Lit Network, you will need to generate and present signatures. Currently, there are two ways to do this:
Obtain an AuthSig
A wallet signature, also referred to as AuthSig, is a signature that proves you own a particular public key. Learn more about wallet signatures here.
Generate SessionSigs (Recommended)
Session signatures, or SessionSigs, are signatures that are scoped to specific capabilities and resources. For example, you can set up SessionSigs to permit only the encryption and decryption of data during a particular time frame.
SessionSigs are designed to be ephemeral and limited in scope, allowing for fine-grained control and enabling secure, seamless interactions with any platform integrating Lit. Get started with SessionSigs here.
SessionSigs are only available on Ethereum and are heavily in development, so things may change. Be sure to use the latest version of the Lit JS SDK.
