390 root 1.7 =head1 PROTOCOL
391    
392 root 1.43 The AEMP protocol is relatively simple, and consists of three phases which
393     are symmetrical for both sides: greeting (followed by optionally switching
394     to TLS mode), authentication and packet exchange.
395 root 1.7
396 root 1.43 The protocol is designed to allow both full-text and binary streams.
397 root 1.7
398     The greeting consists of two text lines that are ended by either an ASCII
399     CR LF pair, or a single ASCII LF (recommended).
400    
401     =head2 GREETING
402    
403 root 1.15 All the lines until after authentication must not exceed 4kb in length,
404 root 1.43 including line delimiter. Afterwards there is no limit on the packet size
405     that can be received.
406 root 1.15
407     =head3 First Greeting Line
408 root 1.12
409 root 1.16 Example:
410    
411 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
412 root 1.16
413     The first line contains strings separated (not ended) by C<;>
414 root 1.43 characters. The first five strings are fixed by the protocol, the
415 root 1.16 remaining strings are C<KEY=VALUE> pairs. None of them may contain C<;>
416 root 1.43 characters themselves (when escaping is needed, use C<%3b> to represent
417     C<;> and C<%25> to represent C<%>)-
418 root 1.16
419 root 1.12 The fixed strings are:
420 root 1.7
421     =over 4
422    
423 root 1.18 =item protocol identification
424 root 1.7
425 root 1.43 The constant C<aemp> to identify this protocol.
426 root 1.7
427     =item protocol version
428    
429 root 1.12 The protocol version supported by this end, currently C<0>. If the
430     versions don't match then no communication is possible. Minor extensions
431 root 1.18 are supposed to be handled through additional key-value pairs.
432 root 1.7
433 root 1.43 =item the node ID
434 root 1.7
435 root 1.39 This is the node ID of the connecting node.
436 root 1.7
437     =item the acceptable authentication methods
438    
439     A comma-separated list of authentication methods supported by the
440     node. Note that AnyEvent::MP supports a C<hex_secret> authentication
441 root 1.43 method that accepts a clear-text password (hex-encoded), but will not use
442     this authentication method itself.
443 root 1.7
444 root 1.43 The receiving side should choose the first authentication method it
445     supports.
446 root 1.7
447     =item the acceptable framing formats
448    
449 root 1.43 A comma-separated list of packet encoding/framing formats understood. The
450 root 1.7 receiving side should choose the first framing format it supports for
451     sending packets (which might be different from the format it has to accept).
452    
453 root 1.10 =back
454 root 1.8
455     The remaining arguments are C<KEY=VALUE> pairs. The following key-value
456     pairs are known at this time:
457    
458     =over 4
459    
460     =item provider=<module-version>
461    
462     The software provider for this implementation. For AnyEvent::MP, this is
463     C<AE-0.0> or whatever version it currently is at.
464    
465     =item peeraddr=<host>:<port>
466    
467 root 1.39 The peer address (socket address of the other side) as seen locally.
468 root 1.8
469     =item tls=<major>.<minor>
470    
471     Indicates that the other side supports TLS (version should be 1.0) and
472     wishes to do a TLS handshake.
473

476 root 1.15 =head3 Second Greeting Line
477    
478 root 1.8 After this greeting line there will be a second line containing a
479     cryptographic nonce, i.e. random data of high quality. To keep the
480     protocol text-only, these are usually 32 base64-encoded octets, but
481     it could be anything that doesn't contain any ASCII CR or ASCII LF
482     characters.
483    
484 root 1.14 I<< The two nonces B<must> be different, and an aemp implementation
485     B<must> check and fail when they are identical >>.

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

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

593    
594     This must be one of the framing protocols offered by the other side in the
595 root 1.43 greeting. Each side must accept the choice of the other side, and generate
596     packets in the format it chose itself.

629 root 1.49 =head2 MONITORING
630    
631     Monitoring the connection itself is transport-specific. For TCP, all
632     connection monitoring is currently left to TCP retransmit time-outs
633     on a busy link, and TCP keepalive (which should be enabled) for idle
634     connections.
635    
636     This is not sufficient for listener-less nodes, however: they need
637     to regularly send data (30 seconds, or the monitoring interval, is
638     recommended), so TCP actively probes.
639    
640     Future implementations of AnyEvent::Transport might query the kernel TCP
641     buffer after a write timeout occurs, and if it is non-empty, shut down the
642     connections, but this is an area of future research :)
643    
644     =head2 NODE PROTOCOL
645    
646     The transport simply transfers messages, but to implement a full node, a
647     special node port must exist that understands a number of requests.
648    
649     If you are interested in implementing this, drop us a note so we finish
650     the documentation.
