Abstract

   The Mathematical Mesh ?The Mesh? is an end-to-end secure
   infrastructure that facilitates the exchange of configuration and
   credential data between multiple user devices.  The core protocols of
   the Mesh are described with examples of common use cases and
   reference data.

1.  Introduction

   NB: The reference material in this document is generated from the
   schema used to derive the source code.  The tool used to create this
   material has not been optimized to produce output for the IETF
   documentation format at this time.  Consequently, the formatting is
   currently sub-optimal.

2.  Definitions

   This section presents the related specifications and standard, the
   terms that are used as terms of art within the documents and the
   terms used as requirements language.

2.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119] [RFC2119] .

2.2.  Defined Terms

   The terms of art used in this document are described in the Mesh
   Architecture Guide [draft-hallambaker-mesh-architecture]
   [draft-hallambaker-mesh-architecture] .

Internet-Draft         Mathematical Mesh Reference           August 2017

2.3.  Related Specifications

   The architecture of the Mathematical Mesh is described in the Mesh
   Architecture Guide [draft-hallambaker-mesh-architecture]
   [draft-hallambaker-mesh-architecture] . The Mesh documentation set
   and related specifications are described in this document.

2.4.  Implementation Status

   The implementation status of the reference code base is described in
   the companion document [draft-hallambaker-mesh-developer]
   [draft-hallambaker-mesh-developer] .

3.  Protocol Overview

   [Account request does not specify the portal in the request body,
   only the HTTP package includes this information.  This is probably a
   bug.]

3.1.  Creating a new portal account

   A user interacts with a Mesh service through a Mesh portal provider
   with which she establishes a portal account.

   For user convenience, a portal account identifier has the familiar
   <username>@<domain> format established in [~RFC822].

   For example Alice selects example.com as her portal provider and
   chooses the account name alice.  Her portal account identifier is
   alice.

   A user MAY establish accounts with multiple portal providers and/or
   change their portal provider at any time they choose.

3.1.1.  Checking Account Identifier for uniqueness

   The first step in creating a new account is to check to see if the
   chosen account identifier is available.  This allows a client to
   validate user input and if necessary warn the user that they need to
   choose a new account identifier when the data is first entered.

   The ValidateRequest message contains the requested account identifier
   and an optional language parameter to allow the service to provide
   informative error messages in a language the user understands.  The
   Language field contains a list of ISO language identifier codes in
   order of preference, most preferred first.

   POST /.well-known/mmm/HTTP/1.1

   {
     "ValidateRequest": {

       "Language": ["en-uk"]}}

                                 Figure 1

   The ValidateResponse message returns the result of the validation
   request in the Valid field.  Note that even if the value true is
   returned, a subsequent account creation request MAY still fail.

   [Note that for the sake of concise presentation, the HTTP binding
   information is omitted from future examples.]

3.2.  Creating a new user profile

   The first step in creating a new personal profile is to create a
   Master Profile object.  This contains the long term Master Signing
   Key that will remain constant for the life of the profile, at least
   one Online Signature Key to be used for administering the personal
   profile and (optionally), one or more master escrow keys.

   For convenience, the descriptions of the Master Signing Key, Online
   Signing Keys and Escrow Keys typically include PKIX certificates
   signed by the Master Signing Key. This allows PKIX based applications
   to make use of PKIX certificate chains to express the same trust
   relationships described in the Mesh.

   Since the device used to create the personal profile is typically
   connected to the profile, a Device profile entry is created for it.
   This contains a Device Signing Key, a Device Encryption Key and a
   Device Authentication Key:

3.2.1.  Publishing a new user profile

   Once the signed personal profile is created, the client can finaly
   make the request for the service to create the account.  The request
   object contains the requested account identifier and profile:

3.3.  Connecting a device profile to a user profile

   Connecting a device to a profile requires the client on the new
   device to interact with a client on a device that has administration
   capabilities, i.e. it has access to an Online Signing Key. Since
   clients cannot interact directly with other clients, a service is
   required to mediate the connection.  This service is provided by a
   Mesh portal provider.

   All service transactions are initiated by the clients.  First the
   connecting device posts ConnectStart, after which it may poll for the
   outcome of the connection request using ConnectStatus.

   Periodically, the Administration Device polls for a list of pending
   connection requests using ConnectPending.  After posting a request,
   the administration device posts the result using ConnectComplete:

   Connecting                  Mesh                 Administration
     Device                   Service                   Device

           |                         |                         |
           |      ConnectStart       |                         |
           | ----------------------> |                         |
           |                         |      ConnectPending     |
           |                         | <---------------------- |
           |                         |                         |
           |                         |      ConnectComplete    |
           |                         | <---------------------- |
           |      ConnectStatus      |                         |
           | ----------------------> |                         |

   The first step in the process is for the client to generate a device
   profile.  Ideally the device profile is bound to the device in a
   read-only fashion such that applications running on the device can
   make use of the deencryption and authentication keys but these
   private keys cannot be extracted from the device:

   {
     "DeviceProfile": {
       "Identifier": "MAQTN-YFIBQ-CK4BW-TVTE3-GFPY5-YGJBD",
       "Names": ["Default"],
       "Description": "Unknown",

3.3.1.  Profile Authentication

   One of the main architecutral principles of the Mesh is bilateral
   authentication.  Every device that is connected to a Mesh profile
   MUST authenticate the profile it is connecting to and every Mesh
   profile administrator MUST authenticate devices that are connected.

   Having created the necessary profile, the device MUST verify that it
   is connecting to the correct Mesh profile.  The best mechanism for
   achieving this purpose depends on the capabilities of the device
   being connected.  The administration device obviously requires some
   means of communicating with the user to serve its function.  But the
   device being connected may have a limited display capability or no
   user interaction capability at all.

3.3.1.1.  Interactive Devices

   If the device has user input and display capabilities, it can verify
   that it is connecting to the correct display by first requesting the
   user enter the portal account of the profile they wish to connect to,
   retreiving the profile associated with the device and displaying the
   profile fingerprint.

   The client requests the profile for the requested account name:

   {
     "GetRequest": {
       "Account": "test@prismproof.org",
       "Multiple": false}}

                                 Figure 14

   The response contains the requested profile information.

   Having received the profile data, the user can then verify that the
   device is attempting to connect to the correct profile by verifying
   that the fingerprint shown by the device attempting to connect is
   correct.

3.3.1.2.  Constrained Interaction Devices

   Connection of an Internet of Things 'IoT' device that does not have
   the ability to accept user input requires a mechanism by which the
   user can identify the device they wish to connect to their profile
   and a mechanism to authenticate the profile to the device.

Hallam-Baker            Expires February 19, 2018              [Page 19]
Internet-Draft         Mathematical Mesh Reference           August 2017

   If the connecting device has a wired communication capability such as
   a USB port, this MAY be used to effect the device connection using a
   standardized interaction profile.  But an increasing number of
   constrained IoT devices are only capable of wireless communication.

   Configuration of such devices for the purpose of the Mesh requires
   that we also consider configuration of the wireless networking
   capabilities at the same time.  The precise mechanism by which this
   is achieved is therefore outside the scope of this particular
   document.  However prototypes have been built and are being
   considered that make use of some or all of the following
   communication techniques:

   o  Wired serial connection (RS232, RS485).

   o  DHCP signalling.

   o  Machine readable device identifiers (barcodes, QRCodes).

   o  Default device profile installed during manufacture.

   o  Optical communication path using camera on administrative device
      and status light on connecting device to communicate the device
      identifier, challenge nonce and confirm profile fingerprint.

   o  Speech output on audio capable connecting device.

3.3.2.  Connection request

   After the user verifies the device fingerprint as correct, the client
   posts a device connection request to the portal:

   transaction result:

     "ConnectStartResponse": {}}

3.3.3.  Administrator Polls Pending Connections

   The client can poll the portal for the status of pending requests at
   any time (modulo any service throttling restrictions at the service
   side).  But the request status will only change when an update is
   posted by an administration device.

   Since the user is typically connecting a device to their profile, the
   next step in connecting the device is to start the administration
   client.  When started, the client polls for pending connection
   requests using ConnectPendingRequest.

     "ConnectPendingRequest": {
       "AccountID": "test@prismproof.org"}}

3.3.6.  Connecting device polls for status update.

   As stated previously, the connecting device polls the portal
   periodically to determine the status of the pending request using
   ConnectStatusRequest:

   {
     "ConnectStatusRequest": {
       "AccountID": "test@prismproof.org",

3.4.  Adding an application profile to a user profile

   Application profiles are published separately from the personal
   profile to which they are linked.  This allows a device to be given
   administration capability for a particular application without
   granting administration capability for the profile itself and the
   ability to connect additional profiles and devices.

   Another advantage of this separation is that an application profile
   might be managed by a separate party.  In an enterprise, the
   application profile for a user's corporate email account could be
   managed by the corporate IT department.

   A user MAY have multiple application profiles for the same
   application.  If a user has three email accounts, they would have
   three email application profiles, one for each account.

   In this example, the user has requested a PaswordProfile to be
   created.  When populated, this records the usernames and passwords
   for the various Web sites that the user has created accounts at and
   has requested the Web browser store in the Mesh.

   Unlike a traditional password management service, the data stored the
   Password Profile is encrypted end to end and can only be decrypted by
   the devices that hold a decryption key.

   {
     "PasswordProfile": {
       "Identifier": "MBMBD-JYUK7-3BQG2-NZKFE-CMW5J-IUSRB-A"}}

                                 Figure 26

   The application profile is published to the Mesh in the same way as
   any other profile update, via a a Publish transaction:

   {Point.Messages[0].String()}

   The service returns a status response.

   {Point.Messages[1].String()}

   Note that the degree of verification to be performed by the service
   when an application profile is published is an open question.

   Having created the application profile, the administration client
   adds it to the personal profile and publishes it:

Hallam-Baker            Expires February 19, 2018              [Page 26]
Internet-Draft         Mathematical Mesh Reference           August 2017

   {Point.Messages[0].String()}

   Note that if the publication was to happen in the reverse order, with
   the personal profile being published before the application profile,
   the personal profile might be rejected by the portal for
   inconsistency as it links to a non existent application profile.
   Though the value of such a check is debatable.  It might well be
   preferable to not make such checks as it permits an application
   profile to have a degree of anonymity.

   {Point.Messages[1].String()}

3.5.  Creating a recovery profile

   The Mesh invites users to put all their data eggs in one
   cryptographic basket.  If the private keys in their master profile
   are lost, they could lose all their digital assets.

   The debate over the desirability of key escrow is a complex one.  Not
   least because voluntary key escrow by the user to protect the user's
   digital assets is frequently conflated with mechanisms to support
   'Lawful Access' through government managed backdoors.

   Accidents happen and so do disasters.  For most users and most
   applications, data loss is a much more important concern than data
   disclosure.  The option of using a robust key recovery mechanism is
   therefore essential for use of strong cryptography is to become
   ubiquitous.

   There are of course circumstances in which some users may prefer to
   risk losing some of their data rather than risk disclosure.  Since
   any key recovery infrastructure necessarily introduces the risk of
   coercion, the choice of whether to use key recovery or not is left to
   the user to decide.

   The Mesh permits users to escrow their private keys in the Mesh
   itself in an OfflineEscrowEntry.  Such entries are encrypted using
   the strongest degree of encryption available under a symmetric key.
   The symmetric key is then in turn split using Shamir secret sharing
   using an n of m threshold scheme.

   The OfflineEscrowEntry identifier is a UDF fingerprint of the
   symmetric key used to encrypt the data.  This guarantees that a party
   that has the decryption key has the ability to locate the
   corresponding Escrow entry.

   The OfflineEscrowEntry is published using the usual Publish
   transaction:

Hallam-Baker            Expires February 19, 2018              [Page 27]
Internet-Draft         Mathematical Mesh Reference           August 2017

   {Point.Messages[0].String()}

   The response indicates success or failure:

   {Point.Messages[1].String()}

3.6.  Recovering a profile

   To recover a profile, the user MUST supply the necessary number of
   secret shares.  These are then used to calculate the UDF fingerprint
   to use as the locator in a Get transaction:

   {Point.Messages[0].String()}

   If the transaction succeeds, GetResponse is returned with the
   requested data.

   {Point.Messages[1].String()}

   The client can now decrypt the OfflineEscrowEntry to recover the
   private key(s).

   Every Mesh Portal Service transaction consists of exactly one request
   followed by exactly one response.  Mesh Service transactions MAY
   cause modification of the data stored in the Mesh Portal or the Mesh
   itself but do not cause changes to the connection state.  The
   protocol itself is thus idempotent.  There is no set sequence in
   which operations are required to be performed.  It is not necessary
   to perform a Hello transaction prior to a ValidateAccount, Publish or
   any other transaction.

7.1.  Request Messages

   A Mesh Portal Service request consists of a payload object that
   inherits from the MeshRequest class.  When using the HTTP binding,
   the request MUST specify the portal DNS address in the HTTP Host
   field.

7.1.1.  Message: MeshRequest

   Base class for all request messages.

      String (Optional)

   Name of the Mesh Portal Service to which the request is directed.

7.2.  Response Messages

   A Mesh Portal Service response consists of a payload object that
   inherits from the MeshResponse class.  When using the HTTP binding,
   the response SHOULD report the Status response code in the HTTP
   response message.  However the response code returned in the payload
   object MUST always be considered authoritative.

7.2.1.  Message: MeshResponse

   Base class for all response messages.  Contains only the status code
   and status description fields.

7.3.  Imported Objects

   The Mesh Service protocol makes use of JSON objects defined in the
   JOSE Signatgure and Encryption specifications.

7.4.  Common Structures

   The following common structures are used in the protocol messages:

7.4.1.  Structure: KeyValue

   Describes a Key/Value structure used to make queries for records
   matching one or more selection criteria.

      String (Optional)

   The data retrieval key.

      String (Optional)

   The data value to match.

7.4.2.  Structure: SearchConstraints

   Specifies constraints to be applied to a search result.  These allow
   a client to limit the number of records returned, the quantity of
   data returned, the earliest and latest data returned, etc.

      DateTime (Optional)

   Only data published on or after the specified time instant is
   requested.

      DateTime (Optional)

   Only data published before the specified time instant is requested.
   This excludes data published at the specified time instant.

      Integer (Optional)

   Maximum number of data entries to return.

      Integer (Optional)

   Maximum number of data bytes to return.

      String (Optional)

   Specifies a page key returned in a previous search operation in which
   the number of responses exceeded the specified bounds.

   When a page key is specified, all the other search parameters except
   for MaxEntries and MaxBytes are ignored and the service returns the
   next set of data responding to the earlier query.

7.5.  Transaction: Hello

   Request: HelloRequest

   Response: HelloResponse

   Report service and version information.

   The Hello transaction provides a means of determining which protocol
   versions, message encodings and transport protocols are supported by
   the service.

   Request validation of a proposed name for a new account.

   For validation of a user's account name during profile creation.

7.6.1.  Message: ValidateRequest

   o  Inherits: MeshRequest

   Describes the proposed account properties.  Currently, these are
   limited to the account name but could be extended in future versions
   of the protocol.

      String (Optional)

   Account name requested

      Boolean (Optional)

   If true, request a reservation for the specified account name.  Note
   that the service is not obliged to honor reservation requests.

      String [0..Many]

   List of ISO language codes in order of preference.  For creating
   explanatory text.

7.6.2.  Message: ValidateResponse

   o  Inherits: MeshResponse

   States whether the proposed account properties are acceptable and
   (optional) returns an indication of what properties are valid.

   Note that receiving a 'Valid' responseto a Validate Request does not
   guarantee creation of the account.  In addition to the possibility
   that the account namecould be requested by another user between the
   Validate and Create transactions, a portal service MAY perform more
   stringent validation criteria when an account is actually being
   created.  For example, checking with the authoritative list of
   current accounts rather than a cached copy.
