## 🛡️ ECDH + DTLS + SAS Security System
|
||||
|
||||
### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
SecureBit.chat v4.02.985 introduces a revolutionary three-layer security system that eliminates traditional PAKE-based authentication in favor of a more robust and standardized approach:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman)** - Secure key exchange
|
||||
2. **DTLS Fingerprint Verification** - Transport layer security validation
|
||||
3. **SAS (Short Authentication String)** - MITM attack prevention
|
||||
|
||||
### ECDH Key Exchange
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Establish a shared secret between two parties without prior knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- **Curve:** P-384 (secp384r1) for maximum security
|
||||
- **Key Generation:** Cryptographically secure random key pairs
|
||||
- **Shared Secret:** Derived using ECDH protocol
|
||||
- **Key Material:** Used for subsequent encryption and authentication
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Properties:**
|
||||
- **Forward Secrecy:** Each session uses unique key pairs
|
||||
- **Perfect Forward Secrecy:** Past sessions cannot be compromised
|
||||
- **MITM Resistance:** Requires knowledge of both private keys
|
||||
|
||||
### DTLS Fingerprint Verification
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Verify the authenticity of the WebRTC transport layer
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- **Certificate Extraction:** From WebRTC SDP offers/answers
|
||||
- **Fingerprint Generation:** SHA-256 hash of the certificate
|
||||
- **Verification:** Both parties verify each other's DTLS fingerprints
|
||||
- **Transport Security:** Ensures connection is not intercepted
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Properties:**
|
||||
- **Transport Integrity:** Prevents connection hijacking
|
||||
- **Certificate Validation:** Ensures authentic WebRTC certificates
|
||||
- **MITM Detection:** Detects man-in-the-middle at transport layer
|
||||
|
||||
### SAS (Short Authentication String)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose:** Provide out-of-band verification to prevent MITM attacks
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- **Generation:** HKDF-based derivation from shared secret and DTLS fingerprints
|
||||
- **Format:** 7-digit numeric code (0000000-9999999)
|
||||
- **Sharing:** Generated once on Offer side, shared with Answer side
|
||||
- **Verification:** Both users must confirm the same code
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Properties:**
|
||||
- **MITM Prevention:** Requires attacker to know the shared secret
|
||||
- **User Verification:** Human-readable verification step
|
||||
- **Standard Compliance:** Follows RFC 5763 recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. ECDH Key Exchange
|
||||
├── Generate key pairs (P-384)
|
||||
├── Exchange public keys
|
||||
└── Derive shared secret
|
||||
|
||||
2. DTLS Fingerprint Verification
|
||||
├── Extract certificates from SDP
|
||||
├── Generate SHA-256 fingerprints
|
||||
└── Verify transport authenticity
|
||||
|
||||
3. SAS Generation and Verification
|
||||
├── Generate SAS from shared secret + fingerprints
|
||||
├── Share SAS code between parties
|
||||
└── Mutual verification by both users
|
||||
|
||||
4. Connection Establishment
|
||||
├── All three layers verified
|
||||
├── Secure channel established
|
||||
└── Communication begins
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Advantages Over PAKE
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | PAKE (Previous) | ECDH + DTLS + SAS (Current) |
|
||||
|--------|-----------------|------------------------------|
|
||||
| **Dependencies** | libsodium required | Native Web Crypto API |
|
||||
| **Standards** | Custom implementation | RFC-compliant protocols |
|
||||
| **MITM Protection** | Single layer | Triple-layer defense |
|
||||
| **User Experience** | Password-based | Code-based verification |
|
||||
| **Security** | Good | Military-grade |
|
||||
| **Maintenance** | Complex | Simplified |
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Components:**
|
||||
- `_computeSAS()` - SAS generation using HKDF
|
||||
- `_extractDTLSFingerprintFromSDP()` - Certificate extraction
|
||||
- `_decodeKeyFingerprint()` - Key material processing
|
||||
- `confirmVerification()` - Mutual verification handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Security Considerations:**
|
||||
- **Timing Attacks:** Constant-time operations
|
||||
- **Side Channels:** No information leakage
|
||||
- **Replay Protection:** Unique session identifiers
|
||||
- **Forward Secrecy:** Session-specific keys
