OMEMO Double Ratchet

Project description

Initial codebase was forked from https://github.com/tgalal/python-axolotl

This is a python port of libsignal-protocol-java originally written by Moxie Marlinspike

Dependencies

Linux

pip install .

Usage

This python port is done in an almost 1:1 mapping to the original java code. Therefore any original documentation for the java code can be easily mapped and used with this python port.

Install time

At install time, a libaxolotl client needs to generate its identity keys, registration id, and prekeys.

    identityKeyPair = KeyHelper.generateIdentityKeyPair()
    registrationId  = KeyHelper.generateRegistrationId()
    preKeys         = KeyHelper.generatePreKeys(startId, 100)
    lastResortKey   = KeyHelper.generateLastResortKey()
    signedPreKey    = KeyHelper.generateSignedPreKey(identityKeyPair, 5)

    #Store identityKeyPair somewhere durable and safe.
    #Store registrationId somewhere durable and safe.

    #Store preKeys in PreKeyStore.
    #Store signed prekey in SignedPreKeyStore.

Building a session

A libaxolotl client needs to implement four interfaces: IdentityKeyStore, PreKeyStore, SignedPreKeyStore, and SessionStore. These will manage loading and storing of identity, prekeys, signed prekeys, and session state.

Once those are implemented, building a session is fairly straightforward:

sessionStore      = MySessionStore()
preKeyStore       = MyPreKeyStore()
signedPreKeyStore = MySignedPreKeyStore()
identityStore     = MyIdentityKeyStore()

# Instantiate a SessionBuilder for a remote recipientId + deviceId tuple.
sessionBuilder = SessionBuilder(sessionStore, preKeyStore, signedPreKeyStore,
                                                   identityStore, recipientId, deviceId)

# Build a session with a PreKey retrieved from the server.
sessionBuilder.process(retrievedPreKey)

sessionCipher = SessionCipher(sessionStore, recipientId, deviceId)
message       = sessionCipher.encrypt("Hello world!")

deliver(message.serialize())
