org.drasyl.handler.remote.protocol.PublicHeader

public abstract class PublicHeader
extends Object

This class models the public header of a drasyl protocol message. The header is structured as follows:

• Flags: Several packet flags (bits 1-3: hop count, bit 4: set if message is armed, bits 5-8: unused).
• NetworkId: The 4 bytes network id value. Is a unique network-wide value. Used to filter messages from other networks.
• Nonce: The 24 bytes nonce value. Is used for encryption and as message id.
• Recipient: The 32 bytes recipient address. This value is optional. If not set it MUST be sent as 0.
• Sender: The 32 bytes sender address.
• ProofOfWork: The 4 bytes proof of work for the sender address.

The public header is only authenticated and protected from the 2th byte. The hop count is not protected. This allows us to update the hop count in-place during relaying.

buildAuthTag

public byte[] buildAuthTag()

Builds the authentication tag from this public header.

Returns:

the authentication tag

writeTo

public void writeTo(io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf byteBuf,
 boolean withHopCount)

Writes this header to the buffer byteBuf.

Parameters:

byteBuf - writes this header to the given buffer

withHopCount - if the hop count should be included

writeTo

public void writeTo(io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf byteBuf)

Writes this header to the buffer byteBuf. Similar to #writeTo(ByteBuf, true).

Parameters:

byteBuf - writes this header to the given buffer
