This commit introduces Brontide: an authenticated key agreement
protocol in three acts. Brontide is the successor to lndc within lnd,
and ultimately within the greater Lighting Network. Brontide uses the
Noise_XK handshake for initial key agreement, then implements an AEAD
scheme which encrypts+authenticates both packets, and the lengths of
the packets on the wire. The initial authentication handshake preserves
the responder’s identity by never transmitting it to the initiator and
performing mutual authentication via an incremental Triple-DH based on
ECDH of secp256k1 and an HKDF which uses SHA-256.
Bronzed isn’t yet integrated within the wider daemon yet. Full
integration will land in a future pull request.
This commit fixes a bug in the htlcSwitch’s logic to unregister links
after a peer has signaled that a channel has been closed. This bug
would arise when multiple channels were opened with a single peer, and
any of the channels were attempted to be closed. The cause of the bug
was that the slice reference within the map wasn’t previously updated
with the re-slicing to truncate the (duplicated, unneeded) element from
the slice. By updating the map’s reference directly, we fix this
behavior.
The safe handling of adding/removing links/interfaces between the
htlcSwitch’s two goroutines has sprawled a bit, and can be hard to
follow due to the map usage. In the future this section of the code
will be cleaned up and the redundant indexes removed.
This commit consists of a mass variable renaming to call the pkScript being executed for segwit outputs the `witnessScript` instead of `redeemScript`. The latter naming convention is generally considered to be reserved for the context of BIP 16 execution. With segwit to be deployed soon, we should be using the correct terminology uniformly through the codebase.
In addition some minor typos throughout the codebase has been fixed.
This commit fixes a build error for go 1.6.3. Before go 1.7, the
context package was under the experimental go packages, therefore to
maintain compatibility across our currently supported versions, we must
use the ‘/x/net’ import path.
This commit adds a few workarounds in order to concurrently support the
REST proxy as well as the regular gRPC interface. Additionally,
concrete support for the following RPC calls has been added:
GetTransactions, SubscriptTransactions, SubscribeInvoices, and
NewWitnessAddress.
This commit adds a REST interface to the existing gRPC server by
employing a simple http proxy auto-generated from the existing protobuf
files. Currently full-support for any streaming RPC’s are currently
untested. In addition to auto-generating a REST proxy server, a
swagger.json is also generated which allows for gRPC-like native
objects with higher-level clients, and also for auto-generated
documentation.
Due to limitations with accepting raw byte strings as parameters, some
RPC’s have been modified to take both raw-bytes and string arguments.
Additionally a new RPC has been added ‘NewWitnessAddress’ since the
proxy doesn’t currently support enum-based arguments.
Currently the proxy server is embedded within the daemon as an active
HTTP server, however we may want to package the proxy server as a
separate binary in the future. Similarly, we may want to add additional
configuration information which controls the optional inclusion of the
REST proxy.
Atm, just like the current gRPC interface, the REST API is fully
unauthenticated. Before moving to an initial alpha release after making
the necessary changes to meet the spec drafted in Milan, authentication
of the RPC interfaces will be addressed.
This commit returns the BtcWallet wrapper struct back to conformance to
the WalletController interface by adding support for
SubscribeTransactions.
The implementation of the lnwallet.TransactionSubscription consists
simply of a proxy goroutine which forwards notifications from the
wallet’s internal NotificaitonServer.
This commit adds a new simple interface related to the WalletController
which allows for subscribing to new notifications as transactions
relevant to the wallet are seen on at the network and/or mined. The
TransactionSubscription interface will prove useful for building higher
level UI’s on-top of the daemon which update the presentation layer in
response to received notifications.
This commit implements the new ListTransactionDetails method within
btcwallet’s concrete implementation of the WalletController interface.
Both mined and unmined transactions are currently returned via the same
method. Unmined transactions are indicated by their lack of an
inclusion block hash and lack of confirmations.
This commit adds the ability for clients within the daemon to register
for notifications that are dispatched once invoices are settled, or new
invoices are added. Such notifications can prove useful when
synchronizing higher level primitives, or implementing workflow within
desktop/mobile UI’s.
This commit adds an additional clause to the update of the current
commitment state each time the commitTimer ticks. We now additional
check to see if we have any active HTLC’s to settle, triggering a state
update if so.
This case is needed due to the possibility of desynchronization across
commitment transactions. As an example if any HTLC adds are sent after
the remote node receives our ack-sig, then they may remain uncommitted
within our local commitment chain. The addition of this check solves
the issue by ensuring convergence towards a symmetric commitment state.
This commit properly removes any/all closed channels from the routing
table. In the current implementation individual links (channels)
between nodes are treated sparely from the PoV of the routing table. In
the future, this behavior should be modified such that, the routing
table views all the links between nodes as a single channel. Such a
change will simplify the task of path finding as the links can simply
be viewed as a channel with the sum of their capacities. The link layer
(htlcSwitch) will handle the details of fragmentation on a local basis.
This commit extracts the channel information that was previously
returned within the ListPeers command to a new RPC command:
ListChannels. Additionally, any pending HTLC’s within the open channel
are also displayed.
This commit modifies the on-disk storage of invoices to stop the
optional fields (memo+receipt) on-disk as variable length byte arrays.
This change saves space as the optional fields now only take up as much
space as is strictly needed, rather than always being padded out to max
size (1KB).
This commit fixes a possible dead lock when dispatching notifications
caused by the circular communication between the notificationDisptcher
thread and the main notification thread within the btcrpcclient.
Rather than potentially blocking for eternity on a blocking send,
notifications are now instantly handled by appending the notification
on an unbounded queue then launching a goroutine to signal the
dispatcher thread that a new item is available within the queue.
This commit removes the previous HTLC timeout in message in favor of a
HTLC cancel message. Within the protocol, a timeout message would never
be sent backwards along the route as in the case of an HTLC timeout
before/after the grace period, the course of action taken would be to
broadcast the current commitment transaction unilaterally on-chain.
This commit adds full support for multi-hop onion routed payments
within the daemon.
The switch has been greatly extended in order to gain the functionality
required to manage Sphinx payment circuits amongst active links. A
payment circuit is initiated when a link sends an HTLC add to the
downstream htlcSwitch it received from the upstream peer. The switch
then examines the parsed sphinx packet to set up the clear/settle ends
of the circuit. Created circuits can be re-used amongst HTLC payments
which share the same RHash.
All bandwidth updates within a link’s internal state are now managed
with atomic increments/decrements in order to avoid race conditions
amongst the two goroutines the switch currently uses.
Each channel’s htlcManager has also been extended to parse out the
next-hop contained within Sphinx packets, and construct a proper
htlcPkt such that the htlcSwitch can initiate then manage the payment
circuit.
This commit modifies the sendpayment command slightly to use the pub
key of the *first* hop within the route as the destination within the
htlcPacket sent to the htlcSwitch.
Previously, since only single hop was implemented, the final
destination would be set within the htlcPkt, causing the route to fail
as the switch doesn’t have a direct link to the dest in the multi-hop
case.
This commit alters the send/receive HTLC pipe line a bit in order to
fully integrate onion routing into the daemon.
The server now stores the global Sphinx router which all active
htlcManagers will used when processing upstream HTLC add messages.
Currently the onion routing private key is static, and identical to the
node’s current identity public key. In the future this key will be
rotated daily the node based on the current block hash.
When sending a payment via the SendPayment RPC, the routing manager is
now queried for the existence of a route before the payment request is
sent to the HTLC switch. If a path is found, then a Sphinx onion packet
encoding the route is created, then populated within the HTLC add
message.
Finally, when processing an upstream HTLC add request, the sphinx
packet is decoded, then processed by the target peer. If the peer is
indicated as the exit node, then the HTLC is queue’d to be settled
within the next state update.
