RetroShare is a Free and Open Source cross-platform, Friend-2-Friend and secure decentralised communication platform.
bb10b6b400
The protocol message format is as follows:
[HEADER: 16 bytes: 4 x Network Order uint32_t][ VARIABLE LENGTH BODY ]
[ MAGIC_CODE ] [ MSG_ID ] [ REQ_ID ] [ BODY_SIZE ] [ ........ BODY ......... ]
MagicCode = 0x137f0001 ... this will be incremented for new versions of the protocol.
MsgID = Corresponds to the format of the Body.
ReqID = Generated by Requester, Returned in Response, make sure its unique. (undefined behaviour for duplicates)
BodySize = Byte Length of Body.
The Body will consist of a protobuf encoded message.
For the moment, the RPC server just ECHOs the request back to the sender - for testing purposes.
Usage:
* Create SSH connection to retroshare-nogui.
* Create Request Message(s), and send over SSH channel - You can send as meny requests as you want.
* They will processed, and responses sent back (potentially in an arbitary order).
Specific Changes here:
* Modified rssshd to support arbitary recv/send applications. (interface is RpcComms).
* Added rpc directory, with server, setup and echo service.
* Modified Menu System to use the new interface to rssshd
* Wrote new matching interface for Terminal Usage.
- NOTE: Strange BUG in Terminal version.... causes stderr to disappear. TODO.
* Added -C commandline option to switch on RPC system.
This is the first version - so I expect there will be bugs. Please report for a prompt fix!

To use this branch:
chekcout the last version of openpgp SDK:
# svn co svn://openpgp.nominet.org.uk/openpgpsdk/tags/openpgpsdk-0.9 openpgpsdk
# cd openpgpsdk
# ./configure --without-idea
# make
For the moment, the compilation is not workign on ubuntu
Work to do
==========
Put a 'x' when done. 1,2,3 means started/ongoing/almost finished.
Compilation
00 [1] make sure the library compiles on linux
01 [ ] make sure the library compiles on windows
Project
02 [1] determine what's missing in OpenPGP-SDK
03 [3] make a separate layer in RS to handle PGP. AuthPGP is too close to libretroshare.
04 [1] write the new AuthGPG class
05 [ ] consider removing thread behaviour of AuthGPG
06 [ ] remove callback system and services from AuthGPG, since it's not useful anymore
07 [ ] make all RS use GPGIdType isntead of std::string.
Notes
=====
Questions to answer:
- do we rely on updates from openPGP-sdk ? Probably not. This code seems frozen.
- do we need an abstract layer for PGP handling in RS ?
- what new functionalities do we need in RS ?
* pgp keyring sharing/import/export
* identity import/export
Code struture
- replace current AuthGPG (virtual class) by a class named GPGHandler,
that is responsible for signing, checking signatures, encrypting etc.
- add a specific 8-bytes type for GPG Ids. Could be a uint64_t, or a
uchar[8]
