[23:00] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok, topics&gt; x.0: welcome x.1: spec questions x.2: elg issues x.3: sdk status x.4: release plan x.5: apps
[23:00] &lt;jrand0m&gt; is x == 0 or 1 or 2?
[23:00] &lt;jeremiah&gt; 22/7
[23:01] &lt;thecrypto&gt; i think it's 0
[23:01] * jrand0m always logs, so wtf, why not.
[23:01] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 0.0: welcome.
[23:01] &lt;jrand0m&gt; hi.
[23:01] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 0.1: spec questions
[23:01] &lt;jrand0m&gt; anyone read the specs? :)
[23:02] * mihi did. at least tried to
[23:02] &lt;jrand0m&gt; w0ah word
[23:02] &lt;jeremiah&gt; nope
[23:02] &lt;jeremiah&gt; what are the new ones?
[23:02] &lt;thecrypto&gt; occasionally
[23:02] &lt;jrand0m&gt; mihi&gt; tried to, hard to read, bad language, incomprehensible organization, or just boring as fuck?
[23:03] &lt;mihi&gt; i'm just not familiar enough with crypto. the first part was very interesting.
[23:03] &lt;jrand0m&gt; jeremiah&gt; specs are in cvs, and I post to iip-dev when they come out. current ones are: i2cp, i2np, i2p data structures, polling http transport proto
[23:03] &lt;mihi&gt; but when it got into detaily, you could have described how to brew an irish stew and i would not hav noticed ;)
[23:04] &lt;jeremiah&gt; sweet
[23:04] &lt;jrand0m&gt; lol mihi
[23:05] &lt;mihi&gt; although the format had its problems as well -don't have open office here, just ol' staroffice 5.2
[23:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; does star office 5.2 not read it? would you prefer .pdf or kludged html?
[23:05] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (or .txt? though txt wouldn't have pics or real formatting)
[23:05] &lt;mihi&gt; i'd prefer "old" .sdw format.
[23:05] &lt;jeremiah&gt; pdf if at all possible
[23:05] &lt;mihi&gt; or pdf
[23:06] &lt;jrand0m&gt; pdf is a one click solution.
[23:06] * jrand0m edits in open office, reads in pdf
[23:06] &lt;jeremiah&gt; or appleworks
[23:06] &lt;jeremiah&gt; ;)
[23:06] &lt;mihi&gt; sxw is supported only in staroffice 6.0 and above
[23:06] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ah ok mihi
[23:06] * jrand0m put out .sxw because last time people complained and wanted .sxw. when we publish we'll put out .sxw, .sdw, and .pdf
[23:07] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (or maybe .doc if i'm feeling dirty)
[23:07] &lt;mihi&gt; i would not mind .sdw.zip or .sdw.gz or .sdw.bzw either...
[23:07] &lt;mihi&gt; s/bzw/bz2/
[23:07] &lt;jrand0m&gt; heh, zipped up, for sure.
[23:08] &lt;jrand0m&gt; the data structures spec may require a mod, and the network proto requires some fixed urls before release.
[23:08] &lt;jrand0m&gt; anyone have any questions on any of the four specs?
[23:09] &lt;thecrypto&gt; not at the momemet
[23:10] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok. 0.2: elg issues
[23:10] &lt;jrand0m&gt; we're having some probs w/ elgamal encryption as specified on p13 of the data structures spec.
[23:11] &lt;jrand0m&gt; it may be key related, algorithm related, or implementation related. probably not implementation related, as this has been tested against two implementations.
[23:11] &lt;jrand0m&gt; if its algorithm related, we're going to want to update the spec prior to spec release to reflect whatever we need to change to make it work.
[23:12] &lt;jrand0m&gt; if its implementation or key generation related, we can publish the spec and fix the sdk when resolved.
[23:13] &lt;jrand0m&gt; thecrypto&gt; any thoughts on whats up, or we waiting for nop to reply to the list (or here, if he's around and available to talk)
[23:14] &lt;thecrypto&gt; i'm trying to figure it out at the moment
[23:15] *** Signoff: mihi (Ping timeout)
[23:15] *** mihi_ (~none@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[23:15] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 'k
[23:15] *** mihi_ is now known as mihi
[23:15] &lt;thecrypto&gt; i have to run some math and through some other implementation and figure it out
[23:15] &lt;thecrypto&gt; i never had a problem with elgamal
[23:15] &lt;thecrypto&gt; last time i tested
[23:16] *** Signoff: mihi ((null))
[23:17] &lt;thecrypto&gt; with that benchmark
[23:17] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right, but the benchmark only tried one key
[23:17] &lt;thecrypto&gt; ahh
[23:17] &lt;jrand0m&gt; i can quite repeatedly get the error without any mods to the elg impl
[23:17] &lt;thecrypto&gt; didn't we have a wrong key message that came up?
[23:18] &lt;jrand0m&gt; yes, those still come up
[23:18] *** mihi_ (~none@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[23:18] &lt;jrand0m&gt; periodically (usually 2-4 times per keygen)
[23:18] *** mihi (~none@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[23:18] *** mihi is now known as mihi_backup
[23:18] *** mihi_ is now known as mihi
[23:18] &lt;thecrypto&gt; and we still get bad keys?
[23:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; or something.
[23:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; all that wrong size tests is "if ( (k0.length == PublicKey.KEYSIZE_BYTES) &amp;&amp; (k1.length == PrivateKey.KEYSIZE_BYTES) ) {"
[23:19] &lt;jrand0m&gt; no value evaluation, etc.
[23:20] &lt;thecrypto&gt; one second
[23:23] &lt;thecrypto&gt; can you check if x the private key is &lt; p
[23:23] &lt;jrand0m&gt; if (m.compareTo(CryptoConstants.elgp) &gt;= 0)
[23:23] &lt;jrand0m&gt; already done.
[23:23] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (throw new IllegalArgumentException("ARGH. Data cannot be larger than the ElGamal prime. FIXME");) that exception is never thrown.
[23:23] &lt;jrand0m&gt; er x? hmm.
[23:24] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 'k. perhaps we may want to steal bouncycastle's or another impl's elg key gen algo
[23:25] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok. 0.3&gt; sdk issues
[23:26] &lt;jrand0m&gt; elg is pending, but other than that the sdk is very close to 0.8 (aka release matching specs)
[23:26] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (only the elg issue plus the LeaseSet modification is left)
[23:26] &lt;jrand0m&gt; I'd like to have the SDK 0.8 ready to go with the spec release, but I don't think we should commit to that.
[23:27] &lt;jrand0m&gt; or even whether we need to include SDK 0.1 with the spec release.
[23:27] &lt;thecrypto&gt; gah! annoying
[23:28] &lt;thecrypto&gt; miracl which nop pointed me too does the exact same thing we do
[23:28] &lt;thecrypto&gt; and they have no checks
[23:28] &lt;jrand0m&gt; unsigned though.
[23:28] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (since miracl is in c)
[23:28] * jrand0m assumes
[23:28] &lt;thecrypto&gt; yes
[23:29] &lt;thecrypto&gt; but still, i make sure we never have a signed biginteger
[23:30] &lt;jrand0m&gt; biginteger.toByteArray() returns a signed byte array
[23:30] &lt;thecrypto&gt; sorry, continue
[23:30] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 'k
[23:30] &lt;jrand0m&gt; any movement on the python front jeremiah?
[23:31] &lt;jeremiah&gt; hey
[23:31] &lt;jeremiah&gt; sorry I was reading the backlog
[23:31] &lt;jrand0m&gt; heh hi
[23:31] &lt;jeremiah&gt; nope, I'm still getting used to classes
[23:31] &lt;jrand0m&gt; coo'
[23:31] &lt;jrand0m&gt; no prob
[23:31] &lt;jeremiah&gt; I think I'm gonna sleep for a bit actually
[23:31] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 'k
[23:32] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 0.4: release plan
[23:32] &lt;jrand0m&gt; we need the sdk issues resolved in the next day or so, one way or another.
[23:32] &lt;jrand0m&gt; we need to get working on wiki-fiying the security model
[23:32] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (wiki, where art thou)
[23:33] &lt;jrand0m&gt; we need to get the performance model up (not a prob, ill have it in a day or so)
[23:33] &lt;jrand0m&gt; we need to update the specs to include any elg mods, plus real URLs to other specs.
[23:33] &lt;nop&gt; miracl
[23:33] &lt;nop&gt; has a port
[23:33] &lt;nop&gt; to java
[23:33] &lt;jrand0m&gt; perhaps we need to host the specs &amp;&amp; / || sdk outside the US for export regulations [not that i care]
[23:34] &lt;jrand0m&gt; right, but miracl's java port doesnt have elg encryption last i checked.
[23:34] &lt;jrand0m&gt; i'll check again.
[23:34] &lt;nop&gt; jrand0m, we don't care, but we'll worry about that later
[23:34] &lt;nop&gt; jrand0m if it has bigdig() and modexp()
[23:34] &lt;nop&gt; you're fine
[23:34] *** yodel (~yodel@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[23:34] &lt;thecrypto&gt; one second
[23:34] &lt;thecrypto&gt; i think i found our problem
[23:35] &lt;jrand0m&gt; word, whats up thecrypto?
[23:35] &lt;nop&gt; can you check jrand0m
[23:35] &lt;thecrypto&gt; our k isn't being checked for relitive prime
[23:36] &lt;jrand0m&gt; will that cause the problems described thecrypto? i thought that would just render the encryption insecure (a problem, nonetheless)
[23:36] &lt;thecrypto&gt; but that would mean only some messages with the key would fail
[23:36] &lt;thecrypto&gt; it's something in keygen
[23:36] &lt;jrand0m&gt; nop&gt; we'll find something to solve it. but i outlined some specific questions in my email that are implementation independent
[23:36] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok thecrypto, we'll work through that after the meeting
[23:37] &lt;nop&gt; the double ciphertext question?
[23:37] &lt;thecrypto&gt; okay
[23:37] &lt;jrand0m&gt; nop&gt; thats one of the questions
[23:37] * nop goes to read
[23:39] &lt;jrand0m&gt; nop&gt; any ideas on when the wiki will be up? if its just dns, whats the IP so I can mod my hosts file so I can start editing?
[23:40] &lt;thecrypto&gt; quick q jrand0m: where does it fail, the benchmark runs perfectly and it makes a new keypair every time?
[23:41] &lt;nop&gt; let me get it up, hold
[23:41] &lt;mihi&gt; wiki.invisiblenet.net == jasonclinton.com [64.91.236.103]
[23:41] &lt;jrand0m&gt; gracias mihi
[23:42] &lt;jrand0m&gt; thecrypto&gt; it makes a new keypair each time. it fails on a two line test case that I built when debugging the ElGamalAESEngine
[23:42] &lt;thecrypto&gt; can i see this ElGamalAESEngine?
[23:42] &lt;thecrypto&gt; just commit it to CVS and i'll see what the problem is
[23:43] &lt;nop&gt; ok wiki is cname'd
[23:43] &lt;nop&gt; should propagate in a bit
[23:43] * jrand0m doesnt commit things that don't work, but I'll email you
[23:43] &lt;jrand0m&gt; thanks nop
[23:43] &lt;nop&gt; it's up
[23:43] &lt;nop&gt; ;)
[23:43] &lt;nop&gt; (Link: http://wiki.invisiblenet.net)http://wiki.invisiblenet.net
[23:43] &lt;jrand0m&gt; not on my box it aint
[23:43] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ;)
[23:44] &lt;nop&gt; what are we wiki'ing
[23:44] &lt;nop&gt; ?
[23:44] &lt;jrand0m&gt; the security doc, plus a place to distro the specs.
[23:44] &lt;jrand0m&gt; perhaps even the i2p website prior to 1.0 release, but at least the security doc.
[23:45] *** Signoff: sirk ((null))
[23:45] *** Signoff: shardy_ (Ping timeout)
[23:46] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok. given the above 5 points on the release plan, I'd like to have the specs out friday, saturday, or sunday, at the latest.
[23:46] *** shardy_ (~shardy@anon.iip) has joined channel #iip-dev
[23:46] &lt;nop&gt; I have a grphx guy working on the website
[23:47] &lt;nop&gt; for i2p
[23:47] &lt;jrand0m&gt; any problems with that for a deadline? [friday deadline, fallback only if Bad Things Happen]
[23:47] &lt;nop&gt; sure
[23:47] &lt;thecrypto&gt; jrand0m: sent?
[23:47] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 'k, so just the security docs and the i2p spec distro location
[23:47] &lt;jrand0m&gt; no thecrypto, there are half a dozen files. i'll send after the meeting.
[23:47] &lt;thecrypto&gt; okay
[23:48] &lt;thecrypto&gt; i'd like them sooner because we're moving tables around today so i need to move computers soon
[23:48] &lt;nop&gt; jrand0m, I'll need to look at your email and I'll respond shortly
[23:48] &lt;nop&gt; multi-tasking
[23:49] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 'k.
[23:49] &lt;jrand0m&gt; 0.5&gt; apps
[23:49] &lt;jrand0m&gt; the name service is awol, as co aint around ;) [but i think he just went off to school too, so thats to be expected for the short term]
[23:49] &lt;jrand0m&gt; mihi has an awesome awesome i2ptunnel app
[23:50] *** Signoff: WinBear_ (EOF From client)
[23:50] &lt;mihi&gt; strip one or two `awesome's ;)
[23:50] &lt;jrand0m&gt; heh
[23:51] &lt;jrand0m&gt; well, its very impressive. there's still stuff to add, but as is its a working port forwarder with reasonable performance. a really good proof of concept
[23:51] &lt;mihi&gt; it relies on too many things i cannot see from the spec (e.g. that GUARANTEED packets are delivered in order)
[23:52] &lt;jrand0m&gt; guaranteed packets are not delivered in order, but the java impl blocks on send of guaranteed, so if you use the java impl w/ guaranteed and don't have multiple sending threads, its guaranteed in order.
[23:52] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ideally, it'd be cool if it FEC'ed or had built in ordering &amp; reconstruction or something
[23:52] &lt;jrand0m&gt; (so that it didn't block on send and didn't require GUARANTEED)
[23:53] &lt;mihi&gt; that's a bot too many ifs i think...
[23:53] &lt;mihi&gt; s/bot/bit/
[23:55] &lt;mihi&gt; but perhaps i'll have some time to add reordering/resending to it...
[23:55] &lt;jrand0m&gt; well, thats how the java client impl is implemented ;) guaranteed is not recommended for low latency synchronous use, as it requires an ack (which in turn is a full message delivery, though without the client side end to end crypto, just i2np crypto)
[23:55] &lt;jrand0m&gt; word
[23:56] &lt;jrand0m&gt; any other apps on the horizon? should we have a page on the wiki w/ apps &amp; app ideas for devs to get involved with?
[23:57] * jrand0m thinks we probably aren't too far off until yodel's xml rpc can operate via the i2p sdk (either through mihis tunnel or natively)
[23:57] &lt;nop&gt; hmm
[23:57] &lt;thecrypto&gt; test
[23:57] &lt;jrand0m&gt; tset
[23:57] &lt;thecrypto&gt; still connected?
[23:57] &lt;jrand0m&gt; si sr
[23:58] &lt;thecrypto&gt; we're unplugging phonelines right now
[23:58] &lt;nop&gt; IIP, it defies phone lines
[23:58] &lt;jrand0m&gt; heh
[23:58] &lt;nop&gt; :)
[23:58] &lt;thecrypto&gt; i can get back on the IM front and file transfer
[23:58] &lt;jrand0m&gt; wikked
[00:00] &lt;jrand0m&gt; ok. thats all i have for agenda items.
[00:00] &lt;jrand0m&gt; any comments/questions/concerns/frisbees?
[00:00] * thecrypto throws a frisbee
[00:00] * jrand0m gets a frisbee in the face
[00:01] &lt;thecrypto&gt; i just want to get this crypto stuff done so i can go back and optimize elg
[00:01] &lt;thecrypto&gt; and do the same for python hopefully
[00:01] &lt;jrand0m&gt; word. I'll get you the code in the next 5
[00:02] &lt;thecrypto&gt; that would be good
[00:03] * jrand0m readies the *baf*er
[00:03] * jrand0m winds up
[00:03] * jrand0m *baf*s the meeting to a close.
