395 root 1.7 =head1 PROTOCOL
396    
397 root 1.43 The AEMP protocol is relatively simple, and consists of three phases which
398     are symmetrical for both sides: greeting (followed by optionally switching
399     to TLS mode), authentication and packet exchange.
400 root 1.7
401 root 1.43 The protocol is designed to allow both full-text and binary streams.
402 root 1.7
403     The greeting consists of two text lines that are ended by either an ASCII
404     CR LF pair, or a single ASCII LF (recommended).
405    
406     =head2 GREETING
407    
408 root 1.15 All the lines until after authentication must not exceed 4kb in length,
409 root 1.43 including line delimiter. Afterwards there is no limit on the packet size
410     that can be received.
411 root 1.15
412     =head3 First Greeting Line
413 root 1.12
414 root 1.16 Example:
415    
416 root 1.43 aemp;0;rain;tls_md6_64_256,hmac_md6_64_256,tls_anon,cleartext;json,storable;timeout=12;peeraddr=10.0.0.1:48082
417 root 1.16
418     The first line contains strings separated (not ended) by C<;>
419 root 1.43 characters. The first five strings are fixed by the protocol, the
420 root 1.16 remaining strings are C<KEY=VALUE> pairs. None of them may contain C<;>
421 root 1.43 characters themselves (when escaping is needed, use C<%3b> to represent
422     C<;> and C<%25> to represent C<%>)-
423 root 1.16
424 root 1.12 The fixed strings are:
425 root 1.7
426     =over 4
427    
428 root 1.18 =item protocol identification
429 root 1.7
430 root 1.43 The constant C<aemp> to identify this protocol.
431 root 1.7
432     =item protocol version
433    
434 root 1.55 The protocol version supported by this end, currently C<1>. If the
435 root 1.12 versions don't match then no communication is possible. Minor extensions
436 root 1.18 are supposed to be handled through additional key-value pairs.
437 root 1.7
438 root 1.43 =item the node ID
439 root 1.7
440 root 1.57 This is the node ID of the connecting node.
441 root 1.7
442     =item the acceptable authentication methods
443    
444     A comma-separated list of authentication methods supported by the
445     node. Note that AnyEvent::MP supports a C<hex_secret> authentication
446 root 1.43 method that accepts a clear-text password (hex-encoded), but will not use
447     this authentication method itself.
448 root 1.7
449 root 1.43 The receiving side should choose the first authentication method it
450     supports.
451 root 1.7
452     =item the acceptable framing formats
453    
454 root 1.43 A comma-separated list of packet encoding/framing formats understood. The
455 root 1.7 receiving side should choose the first framing format it supports for
456     sending packets (which might be different from the format it has to accept).
457    
458 root 1.10 =back
459 root 1.8
460     The remaining arguments are C<KEY=VALUE> pairs. The following key-value
461     pairs are known at this time:
462    
463     =over 4
464    
465     =item provider=<module-version>
466    
467     The software provider for this implementation. For AnyEvent::MP, this is
468     C<AE-0.0> or whatever version it currently is at.
469    
470     =item peeraddr=<host>:<port>
471    
472 root 1.39 The peer address (socket address of the other side) as seen locally.
473 root 1.8
474     =item tls=<major>.<minor>
475    
476     Indicates that the other side supports TLS (version should be 1.0) and

481 root 1.15 =head3 Second Greeting Line
482    
483 root 1.8 After this greeting line there will be a second line containing a
484     cryptographic nonce, i.e. random data of high quality. To keep the
485     protocol text-only, these are usually 32 base64-encoded octets, but
486     it could be anything that doesn't contain any ASCII CR or ASCII LF
487     characters.
488    
489 root 1.14 I<< The two nonces B<must> be different, and an aemp implementation
490     B<must> check and fail when they are identical >>.

501 root 1.8
502     Both sides compare their nonces, and the side who sent the lower nonce
503     value ("string" comparison on the raw octet values) becomes the client,
504     and the one with the higher nonce the server.
505    
506     =head2 AUTHENTICATION PHASE
507    
508     After the greeting is received (and the optional TLS handshake),
509     the authentication phase begins, which consists of sending a single
510     C<;>-separated line with three fixed strings and any number of
511     C<KEY=VALUE> pairs.
512    
513     The three fixed strings are:
514    
515     =over 4
516    
517     =item the authentication method chosen
518    
519     This must be one of the methods offered by the other side in the greeting.
520    
521 root 1.41 Note that all methods starting with C<tls_> are only valid I<iff> TLS was
522     successfully handshaked (and to be secure the implementation must enforce
523     this).
524    
525 root 1.13 The currently supported authentication methods are:
526    
527     =over 4
528    
529     =item cleartext
530    
531     This is simply the shared secret, lowercase-hex-encoded. This method is of
532 root 1.43 course very insecure if TLS is not used (and not completely secure even
533     if TLS is used), which is why this module will accept, but not generate,
534     cleartext auth replies.
535 root 1.13
536     =item hmac_md6_64_256
537    
538 root 1.43 This method uses an MD6 HMAC with 64 bit blocksize and 256 bit hash, and
539     requires a shared secret. It is the preferred auth method when a shared
540     secret is available.
541    
542     First, the shared secret is hashed with MD6:
543 root 1.13
544     key = MD6 (secret)
545    
546     This secret is then used to generate the "local auth reply", by taking
547     the two local greeting lines and the two remote greeting lines (without
548     line endings), appending \012 to all of them, concatenating them and
549 root 1.43 calculating the MD6 HMAC with the key:
550 root 1.13
551     lauth = HMAC_MD6 key, "lgreeting1\012lgreeting2\012rgreeting1\012rgreeting2\012"
552    
553     This authentication token is then lowercase-hex-encoded and sent to the
554     other side.
555    
556     Then the remote auth reply is generated using the same method, but local
557     and remote greeting lines swapped:
558    
559     rauth = HMAC_MD6 key, "rgreeting1\012rgreeting2\012lgreeting1\012lgreeting2\012"
560    
561     This is the token that is expected from the other side.
562    
563 root 1.41 =item tls_anon
564 root 1.19
565 root 1.43 This type is only valid I<iff> TLS was enabled and the TLS handshake
566 root 1.19 was successful. It has no authentication data, as the server/client
567     certificate was successfully verified.
568    
569 root 1.43 This authentication type is somewhat insecure, as it allows a
570     man-in-the-middle attacker to change some of the connection parameters
571     (such as the framing format), although there is no known attack that
572     exploits this in a way that is worse than just denying the service.
573 root 1.41
574 root 1.43 By default, this implementation accepts but never generates this auth
575     reply.
576 root 1.41
577     =item tls_md6_64_256
578    
579 root 1.43 This type is only valid I<iff> TLS was enabled and the TLS handshake was
580     successful.
581 root 1.41
582     This authentication type simply calculates:
583    
584     lauth = MD6 "rgreeting1\012rgreeting2\012lgreeting1\012lgreeting2\012"
585    
586     and lowercase-hex encodes the result and sends it as authentication
587     data. No shared secret is required (authentication is done by TLS). The
588 root 1.43 checksum exists only to make tinkering with the greeting hard.

597     =item the framing protocol chosen
598    
599     This must be one of the framing protocols offered by the other side in the
600 root 1.43 greeting. Each side must accept the choice of the other side, and generate
601     packets in the format it chose itself.

611     After this, packets get exchanged using the chosen framing protocol. It is
612     quite possible that both sides use a different framing protocol.

634 root 1.49 =head2 MONITORING
635    
636     Monitoring the connection itself is transport-specific. For TCP, all
637     connection monitoring is currently left to TCP retransmit time-outs
638     on a busy link, and TCP keepalive (which should be enabled) for idle
639     connections.
640    
641     This is not sufficient for listener-less nodes, however: they need
642     to regularly send data (30 seconds, or the monitoring interval, is
643     recommended), so TCP actively probes.
644    
645     Future implementations of AnyEvent::Transport might query the kernel TCP
646     buffer after a write timeout occurs, and if it is non-empty, shut down the
647     connections, but this is an area of future research :)
648    
649     =head2 NODE PROTOCOL
650    
651     The transport simply transfers messages, but to implement a full node, a
652     special node port must exist that understands a number of requests.
653    
654     If you are interested in implementing this, drop us a note so we finish
655     the documentation.
