offline_protocol_sealed/lib.rs
1//! The pieces both ends of a sealed conversation must agree on.
2//!
3//! A phone and a leaf node run different MLS implementations (ADR 0021: the
4//! phone runs OpenMLS, a Cortex-M leaf runs mls-rs), but they are not allowed
5//! to disagree about anything outside them. The envelope a ciphertext travels
6//! in, the derivation that turns an identity key into an address, the byte
7//! string a signature is taken over, and the ratchet numbers a session is
8//! configured with are all *shared* rather than *implemented twice*. This
9//! crate is where they live, and it exists because those pieces previously sat
10//! in crates a leaf node cannot link.
11//!
12//! Each piece is here for the same reason, stated as the failure a second copy
13//! causes:
14//!
15//! - [`envelope`]: two copies of the codec are two wire formats the moment one
16//! is edited alone, and the symptom is a peer that cannot read a message.
17//! - [`mod@derive`]: two derivations are two identities for one key, and every
18//! trust gate in the protocol is a derive-and-compare, so a drifted copy
19//! rejects legitimate peers or, worse, accepts a mismatched one.
20//! - [`canonical`]: a verifier that rebuilds a signing payload differently
21//! from the signer either rejects every signature or, if the difference is
22//! an ambiguity rather than a mismatch, accepts a forged one.
23//! - [`constants`]: a number configured differently on the two ends produces
24//! a session that silently stops decrypting under load.
25//! - [`freshness`]: two ends that disagree about how old a signed control
26//! frame may be produce a pair that refuses its own traffic in one direction
27//! and accepts a replayed frame in the other.
28//!
29//! # Why this is not part of `offline-protocol-core`
30//!
31//! Core links no cryptography at all, deliberately, and address derivation is
32//! a SHA-256. Core also knows nothing about MLS, and these types name it.
33//! Putting them in core would push a hash implementation into every consumer
34//! of the protocol's base types, including a relay-only leaf image that never
35//! derives an address. See ADR 0022.
36//!
37//! # Building without `std`
38//!
39//! Like [`offline_protocol_core`], this crate compiles for bare-metal targets
40//! with `--no-default-features`, and `alloc` is required in both
41//! configurations. Nothing here reads a clock, draws entropy or takes a lock,
42//! so unlike core the no_std configuration loses no functionality: the `std`
43//! feature only forwards to dependencies.
