IPIP-378: Delegated Routing HTTP POST API #378

masih · 2023-02-13T11:36:35Z

Previous work reduced the scope of IPIP-337 to read operations only. The changes here re-introduce the write operations originally written by @guseggert back into IPIP-337.

The specification documents the ability to provide Bitswap records over ~~PUT~~ POST requests with advisory TTL. An implementation of the specification is already present in ~~go-libipfs~~ boxo.

Also, please add quick memo to IPIP/ directory based on https://github.com/ipfs/specs/blob/main/IPIP/0000-template.md
It creates space for us to discuss Compatibility with existing nodes (which already create provider records and already sign them for DHT).

+Note that this only supports Peer IDs expressed as identity multihashes. Peer IDs with older key types that exceed 42 bytes are not verifiable since they only contain a hash of the key, not the key itself.
+Normally, if the Peer ID contains only a hash of the key, then the key is obtained out-of-band (e.g. by fetching the block via IPFS).
+If support for these Peer IDs is needed in the future, this spec can be updated to allow the client to provide the key and key type out-of-band by adding optional `PublicKey` and `PublicKeyType` fields, and if the Peer ID is a CID, then the server can verify the public key's authenticity against the CID, and then proceed with the rest of the verification scheme.


Any reason why we don't include PublicKey field from the start?
If we make it an optional, opaque bytes field, and say it should be deserialized as the protobuf from libp2p peerid specs, we have both solved RSA problem, and don't need to maintain PublicKeyType registry.

Alternatively, we could include PublicKey in the peer schema on out-of-band GET to /routing/v1/peers/{peerid} (IPIP-417).

I'm okay with either of these paths.
@masih are you okay with this suggestion?

Seems fine to me 👍

If we have to mangle Payload JSON anyway, what is the benefit of introducing it as a new struct?
It was probably discussed before elsewhere, but why can't we use exactly the same protobuf and signature DHT uses?

Reusing DHT record payload would save CPU time on IPFS nodes that publish to both DHT and IPNI (signature would be generated only once, not twice).

what is the benefit of introducing it as a new struct?

I suspect the reason for this is better human readability? The beginning of this document (merged as part of IPIP-337 states "human-readable encodings of types are preferred".

save CPU time on IPFS nodes

We can make the same argument about HTTP delegated routing itself. Unless there is evidence to suggest that we should be heavily optimising this, my vote would be to favour human readability.

@guseggert what are your thoughts?

Reusing DHT record payload

@lidel can I ask where I can find the DHT record payload specification? I think we can add this to the spec via a specific request Content-Type media type, similar to #379.

@guillaumemichel this is related to #345 – can you point us where up-to-date protobufs related to CID announcements on DHT lives these days? Unsure how feasible it is to reuse the announcement's wire format here.

Could we write down and publish the basic wire format information like protobuf section about ipns record, so this IPIP can refer to spec website, and not some go code 🙏

@masih I think Content-Type reuse similar to what we did #379 would help in some cases, but not a silver bullet here. There is way way more CIDs than IPNS records, so some way of doing bulk PUT is still desired, but it should not be tied to a single protocol.

When IPFS node speaks more than bitswap (we already plan to do HTTP next to bitswap in many places), doing a PUT of the same CIDs once for every protocol duplicates the cost on the client.

I don't think there is anything special about Schema: bitswap-announce, having dedicated PUT for this one protocol feels odd, PUT for HTTP will look exactly the same.

Maybe instead of having Schema: bitswap-announce we should have Schema: provider-announce with Protocols list, which could then have both bitswap and HTTP?

having dedicated PUT for this one protocol feels odd, PUT for HTTP will look exactly the same

I agree 👍

After IPIP-417 we are in a better place now.

I think we should avoid protocol-specific schema for bitswap and use peer schema from IPIP-417. It allows for passing optional protocol-specific metadata for things other than bitswap, allowing client to do single PUT with all info.

@lidel I think it is fine to use the same one, and mention that when getting it as response, there may be an Error field too for https://github.com/ipfs/specs/pull/378/files#r1418770825.

Ack. Maybe overthinking this IPIP, but I am trying to keep some future doors open.

This IPIP is an opportunity to create a signed routing record convention that could be reused outside of HTTP API. For example, Amino DHT could start accepting signed announcements from this spec in addition to routing puts where PeerID matched one from libp2p connection, allowing light clients to delegate DHT puts.

I think with switch to DAG-CBOR done in 05dceba it is generic enough to use it for both (a signed DAG-CBOR map similar to IPNS).

But for errors, it felt like mixing abstractions, so I've added explicit error schema in ccbc085.

By normalizing Payload to DAG-JSON here, as a step in signature generation, we no longer have to have Payload sent as base64-encoded string, and can have human-readable JSON object instead.

I think this is a net positive change, as it makes debugging/tracing easier, payload is no longer obfuscated on the wire.

@willscott @masih @hacdias – any concerns with this change?

No concerns other than the usual pitfalls of verifying signature of JSON object, which a reference implementation should clarify.

looks reasonable to me

sounds fine

@lidel what do we do with empty fields? Are they not set? Are they set as null? Are they set as empty value (depending on their value, e.g., empty array)?

Empty fields should not be present, just to remove ambiguity on the default value.

I realized going with DAG-JSON introduces inconsistency across specs.
IPNS Records do the same signature dance but normalize key-value map with DAG-CBOR. If we can, we should do the same here.

Let's switch to DAG-CBOR, this way there is no ambiguity, implementers don't try to be clever and reuse JSON strings, and signature does not require JSON representation in non-JSON context.

+#### Forwards Compatibility


TODO

As this IPIP is right now, the routing announcement signature is used only for the remote HTTP server to decide if announcement should be accepted or not. This blocks announcing with PeerID that you don't own.

However, when user asks for providers, they won't get original payload+signature back, and won't be able to verify provider records themselves.

We don't have to solve or require it in this IPIP, but we should add section to "Forwards Compatibility" explaining if/how signature type introduced in this IPIP could be stored and returned to end clients when someoneone wants that functionality.

If we don't write it down, we will be having multiple competing conventions, because people who want end-to-end routing integrity will invent something.

Initial thought on this is that we already have a concept of opaque metadata fields for opaque protocols in Peer Schema.

If we reuse it here, this section could hint at doing something like:

{ "Schema": "peer", "ID": "bafz...", "Addrs": ["/ip4/..."], "Protocols": ["transport-bitswap", "signed-routing-v1"], "signed-routing-v1": { "Payload": "[mbase64-dag-cbor-blob]", "Signature": "[mbase64-blob]" } }

Any concerns @masih @willscott @hacdias ?

This is just for "Forwards Compatibility" section, don't expect this to be implemented by cid.contact any time soon (since storing payload and signatyre will add cost), but if we have it, we could also implement it in someguy, allowing people end-to-end integrity when they self-host own router (e.g. in smaller private swarms).

No immediate concern on my part 👍

Are we expecting to interoperate with IPNS records? If not, I'm curious if we should instead use JWS on the JSON payloads instead of this. JWS is more widely used and available than our DAG-CBOR encoding. It's also a well defined standard.

This also has the benefit of simplifying the verification. Minimal work is needed to authenticate the message. Importantly you do not have to parse the message into DAG-CBOR before authenticating the message, which could be a possible attack vector.

If we want to authenticate over more than just the payload we can look at RFC 9421 for a standard on how to sign HTTP messages. But I don't think we need to.

+1 RFC9421 because it is content-type agnostic. (ActivityPub/Mastodon use this)

+0 meaning 'no objection' and '+' because I trust you have more context than I do so I'm happy to defer to what you think is best.

Gotcha. I don't have a preference on RFC 7515 or RFC 9421. But I do have a preference for using an IETF standard here instead of the proposed DAG-CBOR solution.

In this scenario, are we expecting clients to POST all the records they want reprovided after TTL expires?

+
+- `TTL` in response is the time at which the server expects itself to drop the record
+  - If less than the `TTL` in the request, then the client SHOULD repeat announcement earlier, before the announcement TTL expires and is forgotten by the routing system
+  - If greater than the `TTL` in the request, then the server client SHOULD save resources and not repeat announcement until the announcement TTL expires and is forgotten by the routing system


Suggested change

- If greater than the `TTL` in the request, then the server client SHOULD save resources and not repeat announcement until the announcement TTL expires and is forgotten by the routing system

- If greater than the `TTL` in the request, then the client SHOULD save resources and not repeat announcement until the announcement TTL expires and is forgotten by the routing system

		- `Signature`: a multibase-encoded signature of the sha256 hash of the `Payload` field, signed using the private key of the Peer ID specified in the `Payload` JSON. Signing details for specific key types should follow [libp2p/peerid specs](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/peer-ids/peer-ids.md#key-types), unless stated otherwise.

		- Servers may ignore this field if they do not require signature verification.

		TODO: is below a sensible limit?

		There SHOULD be no more than 100 `Providers` per request.


		Each object in the `Providers` list is a write provider record entry.

		Server SHOULD accept representing writes is [Announcement Schema](#announcement-schema).

	- If greater than the `TTL` in the request, then the server client SHOULD save resources and not repeat announcement until the announcement TTL expires and is forgotten by the routing system
	- If greater than the `TTL` in the request, then the client SHOULD save resources and not repeat announcement until the announcement TTL expires and is forgotten by the routing system
