* Use a single Message type `v1/message.go` and `message.go` are the same now, and they embed `protobuf.ChatMessage`
* Use `SendChatMessage` for sending chat messages, this is basically the old `Send` but a bit more flexible so we can send different message types (stickers,commands), and not just text.
* Remove dedup from services/shhext. Because now we process in status-protocol, dedup makes less sense, as those messages are going to be processed anyway, so removing for now, we can re-evaluate if bringing it to status-go or not.
* Change the various retrieveX method to a single one:
`RetrieveAll` will be processing those messages that it can process (Currently only `Message`), and return the rest in `RawMessages` (still transit). The format for the response is:
`Chats`: -> The chats updated by receiving the message
`Messages`: -> The messages retrieved (already matched to a chat)
`Contacts`: -> The contacts updated by the messages
`RawMessages` -> Anything else that can't be parsed, eventually as we move everything to status-protocol-go this will go away.
This change flattens messaging/chat package. It also removes dependency between multidevice and chat/protobuf packages.
The Publisher interface was also changed a bit to support more native types.
Version got bumped to 0.29.0-beta.3.
* Move installations to status-go
This commit moves installations management/storage to status-go.
We remove the native binding and provide RPC endpoints to set the
metadata and return a list of our own installations.
* Cache keys
Generating a symkey can take up to a second on slow devices, this commit
makes so that keys are saved once generated and stored in the database.
This commit add topic negotiation to the protocol.
On receiving a message from a client with version >= 1, we will generate
a shared key using Diffie-Hellman. We will record also which
installationID has sent us a message.
This key will be passed back to the above layer, which will then use to
start listening to a whisper topic (the `chat` namespace has no
knowledge of whisper).
When sending a message to a set of InstallationIDs, we check whether we
have agreed on a topic with all of them, and if so, we will send on this
separate topic, otherwise we fallback on discovery.
This change is backward compatible, as long as there is no downgrade of
the app on the other side.
A few changes:
* Factored out the DB in a separate namespace as now it is
being used by multiple services (TopicService and EncryptionService).
* Factored out multidevice management in a separate namespace
* Moved all the test to test the whole protoocl rather than just the encryption service
* Moved all the filter management in status-go
This commits adds support for postgres database.
Currently two fields are stored: the bloom filter and the topic.
Only the bloom filter is actually used to query, but potentially we will
use also the topic in the future, so easier to separate it now in order
to avoid a migration.
Change to support sending multiple bundles, as needed for group chats,
limit number of devices to 3 as already done in the UI and refresh
bundle daily.
This commit adds a list new table, installations, which is used to keep
track of which installation are active for a given identity key.
In general, we limit the number of installation that we keep
synchronized to 5, to avoid excessive usage of resources.
Any installation coming from our own identity, will have to be manually
enabled, otherwise we trust the other peer has correctly paired their
devices.
We use a timestamp to decide which installations to keep synchronized as
a logical clock would have make the creation of the bundle more
complicated, but this can always be converted to a logical clock at
later stages without breaking compatibility.
- Skipped keys
The purpose of limiting the number of skipped keys generated is to avoid a dos
attack whereby an attacker would send a large N, forcing the device to
compute all the keys between currentN..N .
Previously the logic for handling skipped keys was:
- If in the current receiving chain there are more than maxSkip keys,
throw an error
This is problematic as in long-lived session dropped/unreceived messages starts
piling up, eventually reaching the threshold (1000 dropped/unreceived
messages).
This logic has been changed to be more inline with signals spec, and now
it is:
- If N is > currentN + maxSkip, throw an error
The purpose of limiting the number of skipped keys stored is to avoid a dos
attack whereby an attacker would force us to store a large number of
keys, filling up our storage.
Previously the logic for handling old keys was:
- Once you have maxKeep ratchet steps, delete any key from
currentRatchet - maxKeep.
This, in combination with the maxSkip implementation, capped the number of stored keys to
maxSkip * maxKeep.
The logic has been changed to:
- Keep a maximum of MaxMessageKeysPerSession
and additionally we delete any key that has a sequence number <
currentSeqNum - maxKeep
- Version
We check now the version of the bundle so that when we get a bundle from
the same installationID with a higher version, we mark the previous
bundle as expired and use the new bundle the next time a message is sent
- Replace command line flags with `-c` config flag. Part of #1180
- Convert node config private keys to hex-encoded string versions.
- Remove `GenerateConfig` from library.
- Remove unused `FirebaseConfig` from library.
- Fix loading of `config/status-chain-genesis.json` in non-dev machines.
In the current codebase if you want to use different keys (or any
other configuration) for tests it is required to place them at a
certain path in static folder, bundle them with go-bindata and only
then run tests. This is simply unnecessary.
This commit instead directs loads configurations from file without
relying on go-bindata
