Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
Summary
Enhance Single Owner Chunk download functionality to support encrypted downloads.
Motivation
- SOCs now wrap content which can be encrypted, but no decryption is possible via its get method.
- Enhance security and exclusive content distribution
- Consistency with other Bee API endpoints that support encrypted content downloads
Implementation
Add query param Swarm-Encryption-Key=<64_LENGTH_HEX>. If it was defined in the header, decryption would be unavailable in use-cases where you cannot define that (such as calls based on ABR manifest file on streaming).
