## Abstract
This specification describes how RLN, Rate Limit Nullifier,
credentials are securely stored in a JSON schema.
## Summary
A keystore is a construct to store a users keys.
The keys will be encrypted and decrypted based on methods specified in this specification.
The keystore stores a user's credentials locally and
uses [32/RLN-V1](/spec/32/) as a spam-prevention mechanism by generating zero-knowledge proofs.
## Background
The secure storage of keys is important in peer-to-peer messaging applications.
A `WAKU-RLN-KEYSTORE` uses zero-knowledge proofs for anonymous rate-limiting for messaging frameworks.
Generated credentials by a user are encrypted and stored in the keystore to be retrieved over a network.
With [32/RLN-V1](/spec/32/), sending and receiving
messages will ensure a message rate for a network is being followed while preserving the anonymity of the message owner.
### Waku RLN Keystore Format:
A format example of a keystore used by a [17/WAKU2-RLN-Relay](/spec/17/).
```js
const Keystore {
application: "waku-rln-relay" ,
appIdentifier: "string",
version: "string",
credentials: {
"membershipHash": {
crypto: {
cipher: "string",
cipherparams: {
iv: "string",
},
ciphertext: "string",
kdf: "string",
kdfparams: {
dklen: integer,
c: integer,
prf: "string",
salt: "string",
},
mac: "string",
}
}
}
}
```
## Specification
The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”,
“NOT RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt).
The keystore MUST be generated by a cryptographic construction with password verification and decryption.
Keystore modules MUST include metadata, key derivation function, checksum, cipher, and a membership hash.
### Metadata:
Information about the keystore SHOULD be stored in the metadata.
The declaration of `application`, `version`, and `appIdentifier` COULD occur in the metadata.
- `application` : current application, MUST be a string
- `version` : application version, MUST be a string, SHOULD follow semantic versioning
- `appIdentifier`: application identifier, MUST be a string
### Credentials:
After RLN credentials are generated, it MUST be stored in a JSON schema.
The Waku RLN credentials MUST consist of a `membershipHash` and `WakuCredential`.
The `membershipHash` will be an identity hash of the user.
The `WakuCredential` will store to encryption portion of the keystore.
There COULD be multiple credentials stored in a keystore, categorized by the `membershipHash`.
Each contruct MUST include the keypair:
> key: [`membershipHash`]: pair: [`WakuCredential`]
#### membershipHash
The `membershipHash` SHOULD be generated by user's participating in a membership group,
as decribed in [32/RLN-V1](/spec/32/).
Each user SHOULD register to the group with an `identity_commitment` stored in a Merkle tree.
A cryptographic hash function that SHOULD be used to generate the `membershipHash` is [SHA256](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4634.txt),
other hash functions MAY be used.
The hash function that is used,
SHOULD be mentioned in the `verison` attribute.
To generate the `membershipHash`,
the `treeIndex`, `membershipContract`, `chainId` and `identityCredential` attributes SHOULD be used to create a hexadecimal string.
- it MUST NOT already exist in the keystore.
##### `treeIndex`
After a user registers to a group,
a `treeIndex` value of the position in the Merkle tree SHOULD be returned.
- it MUST be a Merkle tree data structure filled with `identity_commitment` from user registrations.
- it MUST be a hexadecimal string
##### `membershipContract`
For decentralized membership registrations,
the `membershipContract` SHOULD be a `contractAddress` from a public blockchain using smart contracts.
- it MUST be a string.
##### `chainId`
It uniquely defines the chain upon which the registration has occurred.
The `chainId` SHOULD be the blockchain identifier used for `membershipcontract`,
as described in [EIP155](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-155).
- it MUST be a string
##### `identityCredential`
The `identityCredential` MUST be derived after a succussful decryption of the keystore.
The `identityCredential` MUST be constructed with the `identity_secret`, `identity_secret_hash`, `identity_commitment` values.
- it MUST be a hash of `identity_commitment` stored in a Merkle tree.
- it MUST be a string.
###### `identity_secret`
The `identity_secret` MUST be constructed with `identity_nullifier` + `identity_trapdoor` values.
- `identity_nullifier` : Random 32 byte value
- `identity_trapdoor` : Random 32 byte value
###### `identity_secret_hash`
Used to derive the `identity_commitment` of the user, and
as a private input for zero-knowledge proof generation.
- it MUST be created with `identity_secret` as a parameter for the hash function.
- This secret hash SHOULD be kept private by the user.
###### `identity_commitment`
- it SHOULD be created with `identity_secret_hash` by using the hash function Poseidon,
as described in [Poseidon Paper](https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/458.pdf).
- it MUST be used by a user for group registering.
#### WakuCredential
The `WakuCredential` will store values used for encrypting and decrypting user's keystores.
- it MUST be used for password verification.
- it MUST follow [EIP-2335](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2335)
- it SHOULD use [SHA256](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4634.txt) as the hash function
#### KDF
The password-based encryption used SHOULD be KDF, key derivation function,
to produce a derived key from a password and other parameters.
The keystore COULD use PBKDF2 password-based encryption,
as described in [RFC 2898](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2898.txt).
A `WakuCredential` object MUST include:
| Name | Description |
|----|-----|
| password | used to encrypt keystore and decryption key |
| secret | key to be encrypted |
| pubKey | public key |
| path | HD, hardened derivation, path used to generate the secret |
| checksum | hash function |
| cipher | cipher function |
```js
crypto: {
cipher: "string" // The cipher function
cipherparams: {
iv: "string" // The cipher parameters
},
ciphertext: "string" // The cipher message,
kdf: "string" // KDF Function,
kdfparams: {
param: integer // Salt value and iteration count,
dklen: integer // Length in octets of derived key, MUST be positive integer,
c: "string" // Iteration count, MUST be positive integer,
prf: "string" // Underlying pseudorandom function,
salt: "string" // Produces a large set of keys based on the password
},
mac: "string" // Checksum
}
```
#### Decryption
The keystore SHOULD decrypt a user's credentials using a password and the `membershipHash`,
using PBKDF2 that returns the `decryptionKey` key.
The decryption key is used to verify the keystore is correct.
- To generate the `decryptionKey`, it MUST be constructed from a password and KDF,
as desrcibed in [ERC-2335: BLS12-381 Keystore](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2335).
- The `decryptionKey`, is derived from the cipher function and
cipher parameters described in the KDF used in the keystore.
### Test Vectors
RLN uses Poseidon hash algorithm to generate the `identityCredential`,
as described in [Poseidon Paper](https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/458.pdf).
The keystore hash algorithm used is [SHA256](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4634.txt).

## Security Considerations
### 1.) Add a Password
An attacker can identify which credential belongs to a combination of `chainId` and
`contractAddress` pair by brute forcing the `treeIndex` iteratively to find a hash match.
The RECOMMENDED solution is to add a password to the construction of `membershipHash` to prevent this attack.
The RECOMMENDED `membershipHash` Construction:
- `membershipHash` SHOULD be constructed with `treeIndex`, `membershipContract`, `identityCredential`, `membershipPassword`
- `membershipPassword` : a new password created to private attacks compromising keystore credentials.
- The user MUST store the `membershipPassword` privately.
