It operates * by permuting 128 fixed bits, 128 or 256 bits of key, a 64 bit nonce and a 64 * bit counter into 64 bytes of output. This output is used as a keystream, with * any unused bytes simply discarded. * * Poly1305 [https://cr.yp.to/mac/poly1305-20050329.pdf Poly1305], also * by Daniel Bernstein, is a one-time Carter-Wegman MAC that computes a 128 bit * integrity tag given a message and a single-use 256 bit secret key. * * The chacha20-poly1305@bitcoin combines these two primitives into an * authenticated encryption mode. The construction used is based on that proposed * for TLS by Adam Langley in * [http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-chacha20poly1305-03 "ChaCha20 * and Poly1305 based Cipher Suites for TLS", Adam Langley], but differs in * the layout of data passed to the MAC and in the addition of encryption of the * packet lengths. * * ==== Detailed Construction ==== * * The chacha20-poly1305@bitcoin cipher requires two 256 bits of key material as * output from the key exchange. Each key (K_1 and K_2) are used by two separate * instances of chacha20. * * The instance keyed by K_1 is a stream cipher that is used only to encrypt the 3 * byte packet length field and has its own sequence number. The second instance, * keyed by K_2, is used in conjunction with poly1305 to build an AEAD * (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) that is used to encrypt and * authenticate the entire packet. * * Two separate cipher instances are used here so as to keep the packet lengths * confidential but not create an oracle for the packet payload cipher by * decrypting and using the packet length prior to checking the MAC. By using an * independently-keyed cipher instance to encrypt the length, an active attacker * seeking to exploit the packet input handling as a decryption oracle can learn * nothing about the payload contents or its MAC (assuming key derivation, * ChaCha20 and Poly1305 are secure). * * The AEAD is constructed as follows: for each packet, generate a Poly1305 key by * taking the first 256 bits of ChaCha20 stream output generated using K_2, an IV * consisting of the packet sequence number encoded as an LE uint64 and a ChaCha20 * block counter of zero. The K_2 ChaCha20 block counter is then set to the * little-endian encoding of 1 (i.e. {1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}) and this instance * is used for encryption of the packet payload. * * ==== Packet Handling ==== * * When receiving a packet, the length must be decrypted first. When 3 bytes of * ciphertext length have been received, they may be decrypted. * * A ChaCha20 round always calculates 64bytes which is sufficient to crypt 21 * times a 3 bytes length field (21*3 = 63). The length field sequence number can * thus be used 21 times (keystream caching). * * The length field must be enc-/decrypted with the ChaCha20 keystream keyed with * K_1 defined by block counter 0, the length field sequence number in little * endian and a keystream position from 0 to 60. * * Once the entire packet has been received, the MAC MUST be checked before * decryption. A per-packet Poly1305 key is generated as described above and the * MAC tag calculated using Poly1305 with this key over the ciphertext of the * packet length and the payload together. The calculated MAC is then compared in * constant time with the one appended to the packet and the packet decrypted * using ChaCha20 as described above (with K_2, the packet sequence number as * nonce and a starting block counter of 1). * * Detection of an invalid MAC MUST lead to immediate connection termination. * * To send a packet, first encode the 3 byte length and encrypt it using K_1 as * described above. Encrypt the packet payload (using K_2) and append it to the * encrypted length. Finally, calculate a MAC tag and append it. * * The initiating peer MUST use K_1_A, K_2_A to encrypt messages on * the send channel, K_1_B, K_2_B MUST be used to decrypt messages on * the receive channel. * * The responding peer MUST use K_1_A, K_2_A to decrypt messages on * the receive channel, K_1_B, K_2_B MUST be used to encrypt messages * on the send channel. * * Optimized implementations of ChaCha20-Poly1305@bitcoin are relatively fast in * general, therefore it is very likely that encrypted messages require not more * CPU cycles per bytes then the current unencrypted p2p message format * (ChaCha20/Poly1305 versus double SHA256). * * The initial packet sequence numbers are 0. * * K_2 ChaCha20 cipher instance (payload) must never reuse a {key, nonce} for * encryption nor may it be used to encrypt more than 2^70 bytes under the same * {key, nonce}. * * K_1 ChaCha20 cipher instance (length field/AAD) must never reuse a {key, nonce, * position-in-keystream} for encryption nor may it be used to encrypt more than * 2^70 bytes under the same {key, nonce}. * * We use message sequence numbers for both communication directions. */ class ChaCha20Poly1305AEAD { private: ChaCha20 m_chacha_header; // AAD cipher instance (encrypted length) and poly1305 key-derivation cipher instance ChaCha20 m_chacha_main; // payload unsigned char m_aad_keystream_buffer[CHACHA20_ROUND_OUTPUT]; // aad keystream cache uint64_t m_cached_aad_seqnr; // aad keystream cache hint public: ChaCha20Poly1305AEAD(const unsigned char* K_1, size_t K_1_len, const unsigned char* K_2, size_t K_2_len); explicit ChaCha20Poly1305AEAD(const ChaCha20Poly1305AEAD&) = delete; /** Encrypts/decrypts a packet seqnr_payload, the message sequence number seqnr_aad, the messages AAD sequence number which allows reuse of the AAD keystream aad_pos, position to use in the AAD keystream to encrypt the AAD dest, output buffer, must be of a size equal or larger then CHACHA20_POLY1305_AEAD_AAD_LEN + payload (+ POLY1305_TAG_LEN in encryption) bytes destlen, length of the destination buffer src, the AAD+payload to encrypt or the AAD+payload+MAC to decrypt src_len, the length of the source buffer is_encrypt, set to true if we encrypt (creates and appends the MAC instead of verifying it) */ bool Crypt(uint64_t seqnr_payload, uint64_t seqnr_aad, int aad_pos, unsigned char* dest, size_t dest_len, const unsigned char* src, size_t src_len, bool is_encrypt); /** decrypts the 3 bytes AAD data and decodes it into a uint32_t field */ bool GetLength(uint32_t* len24_out, uint64_t seqnr_aad, int aad_pos, const uint8_t* ciphertext); }; #endif // BITCOIN_CRYPTO_CHACHA_POLY_AEAD_H
