3084a6b058 Added optional padding to the frame format, so transports that are
vulnerable to traffic analysis can frame their data independently of
packet boundaries.

2411e2008b Frame the encrypted data independently of inter-packet boundaries and
authenticate each frame before parsing its contents. Each connection
starts with a tag, followed by any number of frames, each starting
with the frame number (32 bits) and payload length (16 bits), and
ending with a MAC (256 bits).

Tags have the following format: 32 bits reserved, 16 bits for the
transport ID, 32 bits for the connection number, 32 bits (set to zero
in the tag) for the frame number, and 16 bits (set to zero in the tag)
for the block number. The tag is encrypted with the tag key in
ECB mode.

Frame numbers for each connection must start from zero and must be
contiguous and strictly increasing. Each frame is encrypted with the
frame key in CTR mode, using the plaintext tag with the appropriate
frame number to initialise the counter.

The maximum frame size is 64 KiB, including header and footer. The
maximum amount of data that can be sent over a connection is 2^32
frames - roughly 2^48 bytes, or 8 terabytes, with the maximum frame
size of 64 KiB. If that isn't sufficient we can add another 16 bits to
the frame counter.

36fc34993d Lock fairness test: check that fair ReentrantReadWriteLocks don't
allow writers to starve. If this test passes on Java 5 and 6, we can
get rid of SynchronizedDatabaseComponent and merge
ReadWriteLockDatabaseComponent with DatabaseComponentImpl.

5b6fecfb43 Updated FileReadWriteTest to use the transport component for
encrypting and decrypting packets. Moved the test to the main package
since it's an integration test for several components.

2c387f80b1 Packet decrypter with unit tests. Decryption is complicated by the
fact that the cipher wants to operate a block at a time even though
it's in CTR mode.

a789f49a39 Separated tag encoding from PacketWriterImpl, since it's also needed

f3f0c223c4 PacketWriter is implemented by two classes: PacketWriterImpl and
PacketEncrypter. The separation allows authentication and encryption
to be tested separately.

de648daca5 Bundles are gone - the batch-mode and stream-mode protocols now
consist of independently encrypted and authenticated packets (Ack,
Batch, Subscriptions and Transports so far).

e0509db45d Protocol refactoring. Each bundle now consists of a signed header and zero or more signed batches. There is no overall signature on the bundle, since the bundle's contents may need to be processed before the entire bundle has been read. The protocol does not prevent an adversary from removing batches from a bundle, reordering batches, moving them from one bundle to another, etc. However, since each batch is signed and acknowledged independently, no such guarantees are required. Bundle IDs will go away when the retransmission mechanism is changed. 2011-07-12 12:55:46 +01:00
