Channel padding depends on what the channel is being used for. We
therefore need to let the channel code know this information.
The implementation of the per-channel padding control logic will be in
the new note_usage function, which for now is simply a stub.
A future commit will introduce a `PaddingControlState` which lives in
the channel frontend; consult the doc comment for that type to see why
the plumbing through the channel manager terminates in the channel
frontend.
The chanmgr remembers the last dormancy state it was told.
We invent a chanmgr-specific Dormancy which the arti-client code knows
how to convert from the richer top-level dormant status. This avoids
having to have everyone know all the variants of the top-level state.
To call reconfigure_general, we must also obtain and plumb through a
netdir. Right now we must return an internal error if there is in
fact no netdir, because reconfigure_general does not yet cope with a
missing netdir.
Nothing actually *uses* the dormancy yet.
We're going to need to reuse this, so we can plumb the dormancy to
more places. Breaking it out avoids having repeat the initial
dormancy value in two places.
This function is going to become the code for controlling channels, in
general. (Including padding control.) Right now it doesn't do most
of the things.
In this commit:
* Change the prototype and the name now.
* Pass `()` for the dormancy and config, adding TODOs.
* Provide update_netdir method on AbstractChanMgr, and call that,
rather than having the ChanMgr go directly into the channel.
(That will enable us to test that `update_netdir` method
with test cases that don't have a complete ChanMgr.)
Unfortunately, because we don't have derive-adhoc here yet, rustfmt
didn't get to notice that this comma was needed.
We are going to add field(s), so add the comma now.
This will be convenient for managing when to send these negotiation
messages.
While we're here, edit the comment to explain how this is (going to
be) used.
This is more standard. It also provides the ::build() method.
This isn't a config type, and build failures ought not to happen,
so we use Bug for the error.
This is a compile-time feature with an associated configuration
flag, both enabled by default.
When it's turned on, hardening prevents the arti process from
dumping core or being attached to by low-privileged processes.
(This is a defense-in-depth measure, not an absolute way to prevent
attacks. For more information, see
[`secmem_proc`](https://docs.rs/secmem-proc/0.1.1/secmem_proc/).)
Closes#364.
The remaining unconditionally public APIs are those related to our
configuration objects, and the main_main() API.
The rationale for making main_main() public is to have an actual
entry point.
The rationale for making the config APIs public is:
1. We really do intend for others to be able to read our
configuration files using this API.
2. The structure of our configuration files is already part of our
interface.
Closes#530.
This commit implements the round-trip-time estimation algorithm from Tor
proposal 324, validating the implementation against the test vectors
found in C tor. (Note that at the time of writing, the new test vectors
may not be committed to C tor yet, but they will be soon.)
This also adds the necessary consensus parameters to `NetParameters`.
Some of them have been renamed in order to (hopefully) make them more
understandable.
We want to clarify that the tor-proto crate should only know _how_
its objects behave, not _why they behave that way_. (In other
words, we can have a "padding strategy" setting on a channel, but
not a "general usage" setting.)
Closes#531.
This had to become a new internal function, since at the point that
the handshake needs this code, it does not yet have a Channel to use.
This change made the error messages in the handshake code more
informative: and now they require a regex to check. Later, we might
want to defer formatting these strings, but I don't think we need
to do it now.
