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//! - [`identity_assertion`]: a second copy of the byte layout a peer proves
29//!   its address with is a peer one platform can verify and another cannot,
30//!   and the symptom is a link that carries frames the receiving core then
31//!   refuses as unattributed.
32//!
33//! # Why this is not part of `offline-protocol-core`
34//!
35//! Core links no cryptography at all, deliberately, and address derivation is
36//! a SHA-256. Core also knows nothing about MLS, and these types name it.
37//! Putting them in core would push a hash implementation into every consumer
38//! of the protocol's base types, including a relay-only leaf image that never
39//! derives an address. See ADR 0022.
40//!
41//! # Building without `std`
42//!
43//! Like [`offline_protocol_core`], this crate compiles for bare-metal targets
44//! with `--no-default-features`, and `alloc` is required in both
45//! configurations. Nothing here reads a clock, draws entropy or takes a lock,
46//! so unlike core the no_std configuration loses no functionality: the `std`
47//! feature only forwards to dependencies.
