@ -7,6 +7,10 @@ Changes in version 0.2.2.1-alpha - 2009-??-??
o Deprecated and removed features:
- The controller no longer accepts the old obsolete "addr-mappings/"
GETINFO value.
- Hidden services no longer publish version 0 descriptors, and clients
do not request or use version 0 descriptors. However, the authorities
still accept and serve version 0 descriptors when contacted by older
hidden services/clients.

1.2. Bob's OP generates service descriptors.
The first time the OP provides an advertised service, it generates
a public/private keypair (stored locally). Periodically, the OP
generates and publishes a descriptor of type "V0".
a public/private keypair (stored locally).
The "V0" descriptor contains:
KL Key length [2 octets]
PK Bob's public key [KL octets]
TS A timestamp [4 octets]
NI Number of introduction points [2 octets]
Ipt A list of NUL-terminated ORs [variable]
SIG Signature of above fields [variable]
KL is the length of PK, in octets.
TS is the number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1, 1970.
The members of Ipt may be either (a) nicknames, or (b) identity key
digests, encoded in hex, and prefixed with a '$'. Clients must
accept both forms. Services must only generate the second form.
Once 0.0.9.x is obsoleted, we can drop the first form.

Beginning with 0.2.0.10-alpha, Bob's OP encodes "V2" descriptors in
addition to "V0" descriptors. The format of a "V2" descriptor is as

If a hidden service is configured to publish only v2 hidden service
descriptors, Bob's OP does not include its own public key in the
RELAY_ESTABLISH_INTRO cell, but the public key of a freshly generated
key pair. The OP also includes these fresh public keys in the v2 hidden
service descriptor together with the other introduction point
information. The reason is that the introduction point does not need to
and therefore should not know for which hidden service it works, so as
to prevent it from tracking the hidden service's activity. If the hidden
service is configured to publish both, v0 and v2 descriptors, two
separate sets of introduction points are established.

1.6. Alice's OP retrieves a service descriptor.
Alice opens a stream to a directory server via Tor, and makes an HTTP GET
request for the document '/tor/rendezvous/<z>', where '<z>' is replaced
with the encoding of Bob's public key as described above. (She may re-use
old circuits for this.) The directory replies with a 404 HTTP response if
it does not recognize <z>, and otherwise returns Bob's most recently
uploaded service descriptor.
Similarly to the description in section 1.4, Alice's OP fetches a v2
descriptor from a randomly chosen hidden service directory out of the
changing subset of 6 nodes. If the request is unsuccessful, Alice retries
the other remaining responsible hidden service directories in a random
order. Alice relies on Bob to care about a potential clock skew between
the two by possibly storing two sets of descriptors (see end of section
1.4).
