Previously we would convert a bytebuffer to a string, pass it to
libaxolotl where it would be parsed back into a bytebuffer.
Ideally we would just pass the bytebuffer, but it turns out that
libaxolotl's bytebyffer class is identical but separate from
libtextsecure's bytebuffer class. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So instead we pass the underlying array buffer, which is handled
more or less the same way as a bytebuffer, and most importantly,
does not involve any copying.
// FREEBIE
Update protobuf definitions and refactor message receive and decrypt
codepath to support new protocol, including various flavors of sync
messages (sent messages, contacts, and groups).
Also cleans up background.js and lets libtextsecure internalize
textsecure.processDecrypted and ensure that it is called before handing
DataMessages off to the application.
The Envelope structure now has a generic content field and a
legacyMessage field for backwards compatibility. We'll send outgoing
messages as legacy messages, and sync messages as "content" while
continuing to support both legacy and non-legacy messages on the receive
side until old clients have a chance to transition.
* Session records are now opaque strings, so treat them that way:
- no more cross checking identity key and session records
- Move hasOpenSession to axolotl wrapper
- Remote registration ids must be fetched async'ly via protocol wrapper
* Implement async AxolotlStore using textsecure.storage
* Add some db stores and move prekeys and signed keys to indexeddb
* Add storage tests
* Rename identityKey storage key from libaxolotl25519KeyidentityKey to
simply identityKey, since it's no longer hardcoded in libaxolotl
* Rework registration and key-generation, keeping logic in libtextsecure
and rendering in options.js.
* Remove key_worker since workers are handled at the libaxolotl level
now
We'd like to live in a world where we can retry all the pending
conflicts in a conversation as a batch, which means we don't want to
wipe the identity key before processing each message. Thus, remove that
step from these handlers and encapsulate in a method on the conversation
model.
Ensure that both tryAgain functions return promises, allowing the
application to take appropriate action in the result of success or
failure. This lets us remove all dependency from libtextsecure on
app-level constructs like message objects/ids and the `extenion.trigger`
function.
Corresponding frontend changes to follow in another commit.
Let libaxolotl throw a generic error instead of a replayable error, and
add an helper function in libtextsecure's axolotl_wrapper to catch and
convert from the generic error to the replayable one. This allows the
ReplayableError to remain a libtextsecure-level concept only.
Somewhat unrelatedly, but nearby, fix some whitespace and add missing
semicolon.
