offline-protocol-transport 0.29.0

//! NIP-44 v2 encryption — the inner encryption layer of a Nostr gift wrap.
//!
//! Verified against the NIPs repository copy of `44.md` and the official
//! `nip44.vectors.json` (sha256 `269ed0f6…c25040`, the checksum the spec
//! itself publishes) on 2026-08-05. Every vector in that file plus the
//! extended-length-prefix table from the spec body is asserted in this
//! module's tests; see [`tests`].
//!
//! # Scheme
//!
//! ```text
//! conversation_key = HKDF-Extract(salt = "nip44-v2", IKM = x(a·B))
//! chacha_key ‖ chacha_nonce ‖ hmac_key = HKDF-Expand(conversation_key, info = nonce, L = 76)
//! ciphertext = ChaCha20(chacha_key, chacha_nonce, pad(plaintext))
//! mac        = HMAC-SHA256(hmac_key, nonce ‖ ciphertext)
//! payload    = base64(0x02 ‖ nonce ‖ ciphertext ‖ mac)
//! ```
//!
//! Three properties are easy to get wrong and are called out because getting
//! any of them wrong is silently interoperable-looking but broken:
//!
//! - **The ECDH output is not hashed.** NIP-44 uses the raw 32-byte x
//!   coordinate of `a·B` as HKDF input keying material. Most ECDH APIs hash
//!   it; [`k256`]'s `SharedSecret::raw_secret_bytes` does not, which is why
//!   it is used directly.
//! - **This is encrypt-then-MAC, not an AEAD**, and the MAC covers
//!   `nonce ‖ ciphertext` — the nonce is additional authenticated data, not
//!   just an IV. A MAC over the ciphertext alone verifies against these
//!   vectors for a *fixed* nonce and fails in the field.
//! - **The 32-byte value in the payload is not the ChaCha20 nonce.** It is
//!   HKDF `info`; the 12-byte cipher nonce comes out of the expansion.
//!
//! # Relationship to the transport's size cap
//!
//! Plaintexts of 65536 bytes and up carry a 6-byte extended length prefix
//! instead of the 2-byte one (added to NIP-44 on 2026-06-28, under the *same*
//! version byte `0x02` — there is no negotiation and no way to detect support).
//! [`NOSTR_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE`](crate::constants::NOSTR_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE) sits at
//! exactly that boundary, so both forms are implemented on both paths rather
//! than assuming our own cap keeps us on the short one — a peer is not bound by
//! our cap, and a decoder that only knows the u16 prefix would mis-parse the
//! first oversized frame it ever received.
