401 root 1.7 =head1 PROTOCOL
402    
403 root 1.59 The AEMP protocol is comparatively simple, and consists of three phases
404     which are symmetrical for both sides: greeting (followed by optionally
405     switching to TLS mode), authentication and packet exchange.
406 root 1.7
407 root 1.43 The protocol is designed to allow both full-text and binary streams.
408 root 1.7
409     The greeting consists of two text lines that are ended by either an ASCII
410     CR LF pair, or a single ASCII LF (recommended).
411    
412     =head2 GREETING
413    
414 root 1.15 All the lines until after authentication must not exceed 4kb in length,
415 root 1.43 including line delimiter. Afterwards there is no limit on the packet size
416     that can be received.
417 root 1.15
418     =head3 First Greeting Line
419 root 1.12
420 root 1.16 Example:
421    
422 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
423 root 1.16
424     The first line contains strings separated (not ended) by C<;>
425 root 1.43 characters. The first five strings are fixed by the protocol, the
426 root 1.16 remaining strings are C<KEY=VALUE> pairs. None of them may contain C<;>
427 root 1.43 characters themselves (when escaping is needed, use C<%3b> to represent
428     C<;> and C<%25> to represent C<%>)-
429 root 1.16
430 root 1.12 The fixed strings are:
431 root 1.7
432     =over 4
433    
434 root 1.18 =item protocol identification
435 root 1.7
436 root 1.43 The constant C<aemp> to identify this protocol.
437 root 1.7
438     =item protocol version
439    
440 root 1.55 The protocol version supported by this end, currently C<1>. If the
441 root 1.12 versions don't match then no communication is possible. Minor extensions
442 root 1.18 are supposed to be handled through additional key-value pairs.
443 root 1.7
444 root 1.43 =item the node ID
445 root 1.7
446 root 1.57 This is the node ID of the connecting node.
447 root 1.7
448     =item the acceptable authentication methods
449    
450     A comma-separated list of authentication methods supported by the
451     node. Note that AnyEvent::MP supports a C<hex_secret> authentication
452 root 1.43 method that accepts a clear-text password (hex-encoded), but will not use
453     this authentication method itself.
454 root 1.7
455 root 1.43 The receiving side should choose the first authentication method it
456     supports.
457 root 1.7
458     =item the acceptable framing formats
459    
460 root 1.43 A comma-separated list of packet encoding/framing formats understood. The
461 root 1.7 receiving side should choose the first framing format it supports for
462     sending packets (which might be different from the format it has to accept).
463    
464 root 1.10 =back
465 root 1.8
466     The remaining arguments are C<KEY=VALUE> pairs. The following key-value
467     pairs are known at this time:

488    
489 root 1.8 After this greeting line there will be a second line containing a
490     cryptographic nonce, i.e. random data of high quality. To keep the
491     protocol text-only, these are usually 32 base64-encoded octets, but
492     it could be anything that doesn't contain any ASCII CR or ASCII LF
493     characters.

496     B<must> check and fail when they are identical >>.

507 root 1.8
508     Both sides compare their nonces, and the side who sent the lower nonce
509     value ("string" comparison on the raw octet values) becomes the client,
510     and the one with the higher nonce the server.

512     =head2 AUTHENTICATION PHASE
513    
514     After the greeting is received (and the optional TLS handshake),
515     the authentication phase begins, which consists of sending a single
516     C<;>-separated line with three fixed strings and any number of
517     C<KEY=VALUE> pairs.
518    
519     The three fixed strings are:

523     =item the authentication method chosen
524    
525     This must be one of the methods offered by the other side in the greeting.
526    
527 root 1.41 Note that all methods starting with C<tls_> are only valid I<iff> TLS was
528     successfully handshaked (and to be secure the implementation must enforce
529     this).
530    
531 root 1.13 The currently supported authentication methods are:
532    
533     =over 4
534    
535     =item cleartext
536    
537     This is simply the shared secret, lowercase-hex-encoded. This method is of
538 root 1.43 course very insecure if TLS is not used (and not completely secure even
539     if TLS is used), which is why this module will accept, but not generate,
540     cleartext auth replies.
541 root 1.13
542     =item hmac_md6_64_256
543    
544 root 1.43 This method uses an MD6 HMAC with 64 bit blocksize and 256 bit hash, and
545     requires a shared secret. It is the preferred auth method when a shared
546     secret is available.
547    
548     First, the shared secret is hashed with MD6:
549 root 1.13
550     key = MD6 (secret)
551    
552     This secret is then used to generate the "local auth reply", by taking
553     the two local greeting lines and the two remote greeting lines (without
554     line endings), appending \012 to all of them, concatenating them and
555 root 1.43 calculating the MD6 HMAC with the key:
556 root 1.13
557     lauth = HMAC_MD6 key, "lgreeting1\012lgreeting2\012rgreeting1\012rgreeting2\012"
558    
559     This authentication token is then lowercase-hex-encoded and sent to the
560     other side.
561    
562     Then the remote auth reply is generated using the same method, but local
563     and remote greeting lines swapped:
564    
565     rauth = HMAC_MD6 key, "rgreeting1\012rgreeting2\012lgreeting1\012lgreeting2\012"
566    
567     This is the token that is expected from the other side.

569 root 1.41 =item tls_anon
570 root 1.19
571 root 1.43 This type is only valid I<iff> TLS was enabled and the TLS handshake
572 root 1.19 was successful. It has no authentication data, as the server/client
573     certificate was successfully verified.
574    
575 root 1.43 This authentication type is somewhat insecure, as it allows a
576     man-in-the-middle attacker to change some of the connection parameters
577     (such as the framing format), although there is no known attack that
578     exploits this in a way that is worse than just denying the service.

580 root 1.43 By default, this implementation accepts but never generates this auth
581     reply.

585 root 1.43 This type is only valid I<iff> TLS was enabled and the TLS handshake was
586     successful.
587 root 1.41
588     This authentication type simply calculates:
589    
590     lauth = MD6 "rgreeting1\012rgreeting2\012lgreeting1\012lgreeting2\012"
591    
592     and lowercase-hex encodes the result and sends it as authentication
593     data. No shared secret is required (authentication is done by TLS). The
594 root 1.43 checksum exists only to make tinkering with the greeting hard.

605     This must be one of the framing protocols offered by the other side in the

607     packets in the format it chose itself.

640 root 1.49 =head2 MONITORING
641    
642     Monitoring the connection itself is transport-specific. For TCP, all
643     connection monitoring is currently left to TCP retransmit time-outs
644     on a busy link, and TCP keepalive (which should be enabled) for idle
645     connections.
646    
647     This is not sufficient for listener-less nodes, however: they need
648     to regularly send data (30 seconds, or the monitoring interval, is
649     recommended), so TCP actively probes.
650    
651     Future implementations of AnyEvent::Transport might query the kernel TCP
652     buffer after a write timeout occurs, and if it is non-empty, shut down the
653     connections, but this is an area of future research :)
654    
655     =head2 NODE PROTOCOL
656    
657     The transport simply transfers messages, but to implement a full node, a
658     special node port must exist that understands a number of requests.
659    
660     If you are interested in implementing this, drop us a note so we finish
661     the documentation.
