> go-libp2p's noise encrypted transport
|
|
|
|
`go-libp2p-noise` is a component of the [libp2p project](https://libp2p.io), a
|
|
modular networking stack for developing peer-to-peer applications. It provides a
|
|
secure transport channel for [`go-libp2p`][go-libp2p] based on the
|
|
[Noise Protocol Framework](https://noiseprotocol.org). Following an initial
|
|
plaintext handshake, all data exchanged between peers using `go-libp2p-noise` is
|
|
encrypted and protected from eavesdropping.
|
|
|
|
libp2p supports multiple [transport protocols][docs-transport], many of which
|
|
lack native channel security. `go-libp2p-noise` is designed to work with
|
|
go-libp2p's ["transport upgrader"][transport-upgrader], which applies security
|
|
modules (like `go-libp2p-noise`) to an insecure channel. `go-libp2p-noise`
|
|
implements the [`SecureTransport` interface][godoc-securetransport], which
|
|
allows the upgrader to secure any underlying connection.
|
|
|
|
More detail on the handshake protocol and wire format used is available in the
|
|
[noise-libp2p specification][noise-libp2p-spec]. Details about security protocol
|
|
negotiation in libp2p can be found in the [connection establishment spec][conn-spec].
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
This implementation is currently considered "feature complete," but it has not yet
|
|
been widely tested in a production environment.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
As `go-libp2p-noise` is still in development, it is not included as a default dependency of `go-libp2p`.
|
|
|
|
`go-libp2p-noise` is a standard Go module which can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go get github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-noise
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
`go-libp2p-noise` is not currently enabled by default when constructing a new libp2p
|
|
[Host][godoc-host], so you will need to explicitly enable it in order to use it.
|
|
|
|
To do so, you can pass `noise.New` as an argument to a `libp2p.Security` `Option` when
|
|
constructing a libp2p `Host` with `libp2p.New`:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
libp2p "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p"
|
|
noise "github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-noise"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
// wherever you create your libp2p instance:
|
|
host := libp2p.New(
|
|
libp2p.Security(noise.ID, noise.New)
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the above snippet will _replace_ the default security protocols. To add Noise
|
|
as an additional protocol, chain it to the default options instead:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
libp2p.ChainOptions(libp2p.DefaultSecurity, libp2p.Security(noise.ID, noise.New))
|
|
```
