to do that if he previously advertised some introduction points,
and now he doesn't have any. -RD]
The format of a "V2" descriptor, that will probably used at some time in
the future, is as follows:
"rendezvous-service-descriptor" descriptor-id NL
[At start, exactly once]
Indicates the beginning of the descriptor. "descriptor-id" is a
temporary identifier of 160 bits formatted as 32 base32 chars that
can only be calculated by the hidden service and its clients,
i.e. by everyone who is aware of a "secret-cookie". (Further,
everyone can verify that this "descriptor-id" belongs to the rest
of the descriptor, even without knowing "secret-cookie", as
described below.) The "descriptor-id" is calculated by performing
the following operation:
descriptor-id =
H(permanent-id | H(time-period | secret-cookie | replica))
"permanent-id" is the permanent identifier of the hidden service,
consisting of 80 bits. It can be calculated by computing the hash value
of the public hidden service key and truncating after the first 80 bits:
permanent-id = H(public-key)[:10]
"h(time-period, cookie, replica)" is the secret id part that is
necessary to verify that the hidden service is the true originator
of this descriptor. It can only be created by the hidden service
and its clients, but the "signature" below can only be created by
the service.
"cookie" is a secret password of 120 bits that is shared between the
hidden service provider and its clients.
[XXXX Why 120? -NM]
"replica" denotes the number of the non-consecutive replica.
[XXXX What does this mean? -NM]
The "time-period" changes periodically depending on the global time and
as a function of "permanent-id". The current value for "time-period" can
be calculated using the following formula:
time-period = (current-time + permanent-id-byte * 86400 / 256)
/ 86400
"current-time" contains the current system time in seconds since
1970-01-01 00:00, e.g. 1188241957. "permanent-id-byte" is the first
(unsigned) byte of the permanent identifier (which is in network
order), e.g. 143. Adding the product of "permanent-id-byte" and
86400 (seconds per day), divided by 256, prevents "time-period" from
changing for all descriptors at the same time of the day. The result
of the overall operation is a (network-ordered) 32-bit integer, e.g.
13753 or 0x000035B9 with the example values given above.
"version" version-number NL
[Exactly once]
The version number of this descriptor's format. In this case: 2.
"permanent-key" NL a public key in PEM format
[Exactly once]
The public key of the hidden service which is required to verify the
"descriptor-id" and the "signature".
"secret-id-part" secret-id-part NL
[Exactly once]
The result of the following operation as explained above, formatted as
32 base32 chars. Using this secret id part, everyone can verify that
the signed descriptor belongs to "descriptor-id".
secret-id-part = H(time-period | cookie | replica)
"publication-time" YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS NL
[Exactly once]
A timestamp when this descriptor has been created.
"protocol-versions" version-string NL
[Exactly once]
A bitmask of allowed rendezvous protocols.
[XXXX what do the numbers this mean? And why a bitmask??? -NM]
"introduction-points" NL encrypted-string
[At most once]
A list of introduction points that is encrypted with AES in CTR mode
with a random initialization vector of 128 bits that is written to
the beginning of the encrypted string, and the secret key "cookie",
that is 120 bits long and padded with zeros to be 128 bits long.
[XXXX again, why 120 bits?? -NM]
The encrypted-string is encoded in base64, and surrounded with
"-----BEGIN AES ENCRYPTED MESSAGE-----" and
"-----END AES ENCRYPTED MESSAGE-----".
The unencrypted string may begin with:
["authentication" auth-type NL auth-data ... reserved]
[At start, any number]
Subsequently, an arbitrary number of introduction point entries may
follow, each containing the following data:
"introduction-point" identifier NL
[At start, exactly once]
The identifier of this introduction point.
[XXXX What's the identifier? -NM]
"ip-address" ip-address NL
[Exactly once]
The IP address of this introduction point.
"onion-port" port NL
[Exactly once]
The TCP port on which the introduction point is listening for
incoming onion requests.
"onion-key" NL a public key in PEM format
[Exactly once]
The public key that can be used to encrypt messages to this
introduction point.
"service-key" NL a public key in PEM format
[Exactly once]
The public key that can be used to encrypt messages to the hidden
service.
["authentication" auth-type NL auth-data ... reserved]
[Any number]
[XXXX this is valid at the start *and* at the end? -NM]
(This ends the fields in the encrypted portion of the descriptor.)
"signature" NL signature-string
[At end, exactly once]
A signature of all fields above with the private key of the hidden
service.
