**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** 0: Greetings
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** h
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** 1: What's been done
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** last week was the alpha release of tini2p
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** the router is still in its earliest stages, and things will still be changing fairly drastically as refactors and bug fixes are made
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** tini2p routers are capable of building ECIES tunnels, and communicating end-to-end via ECIES-X25519
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** NTCP2 (a tcp-like transport) is fully implemented
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** cross-implementation testing is still needed to discover and remedy any bugs (if they exist)
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** the router is also currently compiled with a testnet netID to mitigate any communication with mainnet routers
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** using a testnet netID means custom compilation is required to communicate with mainnet I2P routers over NTCP2
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** I haven't added the necessary build for mainnet because tini2p isn't ready yet, and I don't want to encourage usage which may be disruptive/harmful to the network
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** I also began work on [ElGamal tunnel building](https://gitlab.com/tini2p/tini2p/commits/elg-tunnel) (basic encryption/decryption of BuildRequestRecords is more-or-less done)
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** 2: What's next
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** will continue work on ElGamal tunnel building
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** the next steps are:
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** - serializing/deserializing ElGamal BuildRequestRecords (slightly different from ECIES records)
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** - deriving keys for ChaCha tunnels using the ElGamal shared secret
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** - refactoring the router context to handle ElGamal tunnel building
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** maybe it will go quickly, but it could take a couple weeks
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** will also work on creating test vectors for i2pd and Java I2P for cross-impl ElGamal testing
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** will bring up KDF discussion about deriving record keys using the ElGamal shared secret
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** for AES tunnels, deriving record keys is likely unnecessary, since any saved space would be consumed with random padding
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** for ChaCha tunnels, the saved space is necessary for transmitting the AEAD `receive` key to each hop
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** the additional 32 bytes for the AEAD key will not fit in the current space allocated for "options/random padding"
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** + the bytes for the options header + flags
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** will also be adding fuzz test drivers for data structures with `deserialize` methods as I work on other features
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** if the KDF changes for ElGamal records are unwanted/unworkable, ElGamal tunnels will only be able to use AES for layer encryption
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** which would effectively mean any tunnel with one ElGamal hop must use AES layer encryption for the entire tunnel
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** if the KDF changes are accepted, ElGamal tunnels will be able to use AES and/or ChaCha layer encryption
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** for a review of AES layer encryption: https://geti2p.net/en/docs/tunnels/implementation
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** and ChaCha layer encryption proposal: https://geti2p.net/spec/proposals/153-chacha20-layer-encryption
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** 3: Questions / comments
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** much love for the lurkers
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** 4: Next meeting time
|
|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** 2019-10-31 18:00 UTC

|
**\<tini2p\_gitlab>** @tini2p\_gitlab gavels the gavels like it's never been gavelled before
