Patryk Osmaczko 1d3c618fb4 feat: encrypt CommunityDescription fields
Extended `CommunityDescription` with a `privateData` map. This map
associates each hash ratchet `key_id` and `seq_no` with an encrypted
`CommunityDescription`. Each encrypted instance includes only data
requiring encryption.

status-go/protocol

This is an implementation of the secure transport and payloads which are a part of the Status Client specification.

This implementation uses SQLite and SQLCipher for persistent storage.

The payloads are encoded using protocol-buffers.

Content

  • messenger.go is the main file which exports Messenger struct. This is a public API to interact with this implementation of the Status Chat Protocol.
  • protobuf/ contains protobuf files implementing payloads described in the Payloads spec.
  • encryption/ implements the Secure Transport spec.
  • transport/ connects the Status Chat Protocol with a wire-protocol which in our case is either Whisper or Waku.
  • datasync/ is an adapter for MVDS.
  • applicationmetadata/ is an outer layer wrapping a payload with an app-specific metadata like a signature.
  • identity/ implements details related to creating a three-word name and identicon.
  • migrations/ contains implementation specific migrations for the sqlite database which is used by Messenger as a persistent data store.

History

Originally this package was a dedicated repo called status-protocol-go and was migrated into status-go. The new status-go/protocol package maintained its own dependencies until sub modules were removed and the root go.mod file managed all dependencies for the entire status-go repo.
