The sensitive data, such as account information and encrypted strings in strategy parameters configured on the FMZ Quant Trading Platform, are encrypted at the web browser. All information stored on FMZ Quant Trading platform is encrypted (not plaintext data), and only users’ private devices can decrypt and use the information, which greatly improves the security of sensitive data. Please do not disclose or sell the strategies if other sensitive information is included in the strategy code, parameter settings and strategy descriptions etc.
- Our platform supports localized configuration of sensitive information, such as exchange account information and secret key
On the page where the platform configures exchange information, all encrypted text box controls with masks support the way of configuring the file path to load the docker’s local file. The following takes the RSA KEY authentication method of the exchange as an example to explain in detail how to configure sensitive information locally on the device where the docker program is located.
1. Create RSA public key and private key. For example, create public and private keys in the format of PKCS#8, there are many tools available for creation, such as openssl.
2. Create an RSA KEY on the exchange, and upload the public key created in Step 1 during creation.
3. Save the private key created in the first step in the txt file format in the docker directory ../logs/storage/xxx path, where xxx is the live trading ID; it can also be saved in other paths in the directory where the docker program is located.
4. When configuring the exchange on the FMZ platform, fill in the RSA KEY created by the exchange in the edit box of the configuration Access Key.
5. When configuring the exchange on the FMZ platform, fill in the path of the txt file placed in the same level directory of the docker in the Step 3 in the edit box of the configuration Secret Key. For example, if the file name placed is: rsaKey.txt, then fill in: file:///rsaKey.txt. When running the live trading and referencing the exchange (object), the docker will automatically load the file content in the directory ../logs/storage/xxx/rsaKey.txt as the configuration information of the exchange object, such as the RSA private key in this example.
This makes it safer to localize and save the private key, you can refer to video explanation for detailed process.
- Changing the account password of FMZ Quant Trading Platform will cause the exchange configuration to be invalidated
If you change the account password of FMZ Quant Trading Platform, it will cause all exchange configurations to be invalidated, and you need to take the following steps to deal with it:
1. Re-configure the exchange account related keys, passwords and other information in the “Exchange” page.
2. Stop all dockers and redeploy and run the docker using the modified account password of FMZ Quant Trading Platform.
