lockbitchat 7b703e4e65 feat(handshake): in-band key exchange; SBQ2 live in the connection path; release v5.9.0
The descriptor no longer carries key material. It carries what brings up DTLS
plus a 16-byte commitment; the ECDH and ECDSA public keys travel as the first
frame on the DataChannel and are checked against that commitment BEFORE they are
parsed or imported. Measured on the live site, the invitation went from 2274
characters across 4 animated QR frames to 151 characters in one frame.

What the split buys is that nothing is trusted on the strength of having
completed a handshake. The fingerprint arrives over the channel the user
authenticated by looking at it, so DTLS completes only with whoever showed the
code; the commitment makes substituted key material fail closed automatically
instead of relying on the human comparison; and the SAS is computed over a
transcript covering both descriptors verbatim and both key blobs, so anything an
attacker can change anywhere in the handshake changes the digits.

Consequences for the rest of the crypto:

- the HKDF salt is derived from the transcript rather than transmitted, binding
  every session key to both DTLS fingerprints and every candidate;
- authProof is replaced by one ECDSA signature over the transcript, proving the
  same possession without echoing a nonce back across seven fields;
- Double Ratchet support is implied by the format rather than advertised in it.
  SBQ2 postdates the ratchet, so the "peer is old, fall back to static keys"
  branch is unreachable here -- it used to fire silently, since SBQ2 has no `dr`
  field for _initializeRatchet to find.

Fail closed throughout. _handshakeMode is latched per connection, so a session
cannot be pushed back onto SB1 halfway through; commitment mismatch, wrong role,
duplicate blob, bad proof and timeout all tear the connection down with a
specific message rather than degrade. SBQ2 handshake frames are refused outright
on a non-SBQ2 session, where there would be no commitment to check them against.

Reception of both formats is unconditional and split by first byte (0x02 vs
ASCII 'S') and text prefix. SBQ2_SEND_ENABLED is the single value that governs
what we emit; flipping it to false and redeploying reverts new invitations to
SB1, and the animated multi-frame QR path stays for them.

Verified end to end in real browsers -- 12/12 across {Chrome, Firefox} squared
and three network profiles -- through to a confirmed SAS, an active ratchet, a
64-byte transcript-derived salt and a decrypted message on the far side.

lockbitchat fb959d7ca7 fix(descriptor): rebuild SDP that Firefox accepts; release v5.8.1
Live cross-browser testing found three defects in the SBQ2 SDP template, all
invisible to Chrome and all fatal to Firefox.

The candidate lines omitted raddr/rport on srflx and relay candidates. RFC 8839
section 5.1 makes rel-addr and rel-port mandatory for non-host candidates even
though ICE never reads them; Chrome tolerates the omission and Firefox drops the
candidate. Relay-only connections to Firefox failed 0/8 against 8/8 for the
browser's own SDP. The STUN and TURN profiles hid it because a host pair
connected instead -- the relay candidates were never actually needed there.

The template also advertised ice-options:trickle without ever closing the
candidate set, though a descriptor is a complete one-shot set with no channel to
trickle over, and hard-coded the m= port and c= line to the 9 / 0.0.0.0 null
default candidate, which is the trickle convention for "nothing gathered yet".
Both are now correct: no trickle, an explicit a=end-of-candidates, and the most
publicly reachable candidate as the default.

All three are serializer-side and cost zero descriptor bytes; sizes are
unchanged at 98-149 bytes, QR version 6-8. Verified 48/48 across all 16
combinations of {Chrome, Firefox} squared and four network profiles, with every
relay-only pair now connecting over the relay.

lockbitchat 6e82cfcae2 feat(descriptor): SBQ2 connection descriptor format; release v5.8.0
The SB1 invitation runs 2000-2400 characters and needs QR version 38-40, past
the point where a single code is scannable, so the app falls back to an
animated multi-frame QR. SBQ2 is a fixed binary layout carrying only what
brings up DTLS -- ICE credentials, certificate fingerprint, candidates -- with
the SDP rebuilt from a template by a strict serializer. Measured on real Chrome
and Firefox SDP across four network profiles: 98-149 bytes, QR version 6-8.

Key material is meant to move to the DataChannel, bound by a commitment in the
descriptor. That half does not exist yet, so nothing calls this module: the
format is landed for review and freeze, not wired into the connection path.
doc/DESCRIPTOR-SBQ2.md records the gate on phase 3.

The decoder is a parser of hostile input: fixed offsets, explicit lengths,
deny-by-default on reserved values and unknown TLV extension types, trailing
bytes rejected, ICE credentials alphabet-checked so a CRLF cannot reach the
serializer. No compression -- DEFLATE adds bytes on this payload, and dropping
it removes the decompression-bomb surface with it.

Candidate pruning keeps coverage before count: one candidate per (family, type,
transport) survives before any surplus, so an IPv6-only or UDP-blocked path
cannot be pruned away by a v4-first sort.

Tests cover round-trip against captured Chrome and Firefox SDP, IPv6 and NAT64
addresses, ICE-TCP candidates, the TLV area, clock skew, one-shot binding and
SAS transcript coverage.

Adds the Double Ratchet (Signal's design) on top of the existing ECDH session
keys, so message protection no longer rests on one set of keys lasting the whole
conversation. Every message gets its own key, derived through a one-way function
and discarded after use, and each change of direction introduces a fresh ECDH
key pair that re-keys the session root.

The ratchet needed no handshake change: both peers already hold each other's
authenticated ECDH public key, and the safety code compared during verification
covers exactly those keys. Its root is derived from the existing shared secret
through its own branch of the key schedule.

Support is negotiated in the invitation and response and used only when both
sides have it; a peer on an earlier release falls back to per-session keys. The
security panel reports which of the two is actually in force.

Out-of-order delivery is supported within fixed bounds (512 skipped keys per
chain, 1024 retained, five-minute expiry), and inbound frames are authenticated
before any ratchet state is committed, so a malformed frame cannot desynchronise
a live session.

Also in this release:

- Verification is enforced as a gate, not a label: control frames (reconnection
  signalling, call setup, message deletion, delivery receipts) are acted on only
  after both peers have compared the safety code, and verified state is set in a
  single guarded place.
- Chat content reaches the interface through one authenticated path; an older,
  weaker inbound path was retired.
- The security panel measures what it displays — several checks previously
  returned a fixed result and now exercise the subsystem they describe.
- Invitation data is no longer kept in local storage, and entries left by earlier
  versions are cleared on first launch.
- View-once and disappearing messages no longer place their text in system
  notifications.
- Shared-secret buffers are overwritten once derivation completes; scanned QR
  codes are decompressed with a size limit; voice notes are validated against
  audio type and size budgets before skipping the consent prompt; the master
  password is collected by the app rather than a browser dialog.
- Connection setup no longer fails on networks where STUN/TURN are unreachable:
  it proceeds as soon as usable candidates exist and only waits while there are
  none.

Test suite grows from 27 to 41 files, covering forward secrecy, post-compromise
re-keying, out-of-order delivery across ratchet steps, the skipped-key bounds,
tamper resistance, negotiation fallback, and byte-level key-derivation
compatibility with 5.6.0.

A chat no longer dies when the network moves under it. A NAT rebind, a lift, a
Wi-Fi radio parking itself, a phone that dozed: the session repairs its own network
path in place, and the messages typed meanwhile go out when it returns.

Recovery is an ICE restart, which renegotiates only the transport path — the DTLS
handshake, the session keys and the SCTP association carrying the data channel all
sit above ICE and survive it. The renegotiation SDP therefore travels over the
existing end-to-end encrypted, SAS-verified channel: no signalling service enters
the design, and an attacker who cannot already decrypt the session cannot inject a
reconnection. A restart is refused outright unless the DTLS fingerprint in the
incoming SDP matches the live session's, so recovery can never re-point a
conversation at a different peer.

When the path is gone for good the session is ended and its data wiped rather than
left half-alive: with no server there is nothing to re-signal through, and a
conversation whose transport is gone should not leave its plaintext in an open tab.
The two cases where that is already certain are recognised in seconds instead of
being retried for two minutes — a channel that has delivered nothing at all since
the drop cannot carry a renegotiation, and an ICE agent left bound to a network that
no longer exists reports zero candidate pairs on every restart.

Judging liveness was the hard part. Silence is not evidence of death: browsers freeze
backgrounded tabs outright, and a frozen peer answers nothing while being perfectly
healthy. What survives that freeze is ICE consent, which the browser runs in its
network stack rather than on the page's thread — so a connected ICE state means a
silent peer is asleep, and only a degraded one turns an unanswered probe into a
teardown. The grace window before a restart is sized to the browser's own timings:
'disconnected' arrives after ~5s of missed consent responses and is held ~25s before
'failed', and that window exists for self-healing, so restarting at the start of it
broke connections that were about to recover.

Several long-standing bugs surfaced along the way and are fixed here:

- handleHeartbeat() was dispatched to but never defined, so every inbound heartbeat
  threw a TypeError and peer liveness was never observed at all.
- Heartbeats were folded into the 5-minute maintenance cycle instead of running on
  their own timer, far too coarse to notice a dead path.
- ondatachannel can hand over a channel that is already open, so the answering side's
  'open' event had been dispatched before the handler was assigned and never fired,
  leaving that side with no heartbeat, no watchdog and no file-transfer init. The peer
  whose network was fine kept showing "connected" indefinitely because nothing was
  running to notice.
- Answering a heartbeat required the peer to have finished verifying, but the two
  sides confirm a SAS code at different moments; for that whole window one of them
  could not reply and was declared dead on a healthy connection.
- Sending on a channel that was not ready returned in silence: the text stayed in the
  box, nothing was transmitted, and nothing said why.
- The send path gated on navigator.onLine and the offline/online events, which report
  whether an interface exists rather than whether anything is reachable. A tab the OS
  froze misses the 'online' edge, and this side then queued every message forever: one
  tick on everything it sent, while incoming messages kept arriving. Sending is now
  decided by the data channel, and queues drain by polling rather than on an edge, so
  a missed event cannot strand them.
- A false offline modal appeared on a working session, because the offline event was
  taken at face value.

tests/session-recovery.test.mjs covers the state machine, the backoff and its
serialisation, the offline hold, the sleeping-peer discriminator and the identity
check.

A security review of the transport and verification layers. Every item is a fix
to how untrusted peer input is handled; no features changed.

- SAS verification could be bypassed. `verification_both_confirmed` is an
  unauthenticated frame on a channel that is not yet trusted, but it was taken as
  proof that both sides had compared their codes — so a peer who completed the
  signalling exchange could send it right after the data channel opened and drive
  the other side to a "verified" session while the user never looked at the code.
  It is now only an acknowledgement: refused unless this side already confirmed
  locally, and _setVerifiedStatus() independently rejects any SAS-based
  transition without a local confirmation. Holding ECDH-derived keys was never
  proof of identity — a MITM has those too.

- Unauthenticated frames could be injected into the chat. A bare
  {type:"message"} frame, a raw non-JSON frame and a binary frame were each
  decoded and rendered, bypassing decryption, the HMAC check and the verification
  gate; the injected text was indistinguishable from a genuine message. Chat
  content now reaches the UI only through the authenticated enhanced_message
  path.

- A peer could supply the verification code. `sas_code` announcements were
  adopted verbatim when no local SAS had been derived yet. They may now only
  corroborate the locally derived code.

- Anti-replay never ran. The sequence-number and AAD validators were defined on
  SecureKeyStorage instead of the connection manager, so every call site failed
  with a TypeError and the sliding replay window was dead code. Moved onto the
  manager, wired into the live chat path, and a missing or non-numeric sequence
  number now fails closed instead of sailing through the range checks.

- File transfers are gated on verification in both directions. Control frames are
  written straight to the data channel by the transfer system; sending was
  already gated, receiving now is too.

- Tighter CSP: connect-src and img-src no longer allow arbitrary https: hosts
  (nothing in the app talks to a third party), plus base-uri 'none'.

- The SAS is no longer written to logs, and is compared in constant time on every
  path. Fixed SecureMasterKeyManager.isUnlocked() testing a field renamed long
  ago, so it never actually gated anything.

- Fixed the header showing "Secure undefined%": getRealSecurityLevel() became
  reachable for the first time by the move above and returned only per-feature
  booleans, while the header renders `level` and `score` directly. It now runs
  the same verified scoring as every other consumer.

Adds regression tests for the verification gate, inbound frame authentication and
the security-level shape.

lockbitchat b3fcf54670 feat(webrtc): end-to-end encrypted voice & video calls with adaptive codecs

Add 1:1 voice and video calling over the existing SAS-verified peer
connection. Audio and video tracks ride the same RTCPeerConnection as the
chat, bundled onto one DTLS-SRTP transport, so media inherits the session's
end-to-end encryption. SDP offer/answer is renegotiated in-band over the
verified data channel — no signalling server, so the media's DTLS
fingerprints are authenticated end-to-end. Calls are gated on a connected,
SAS-verified session.

Codecs & adaptation:
- Opus tuned for lossy links (in-band FEC, DTX, RED redundancy); audio is
  bandwidth-prioritised and never throttled.
- VP9/AV1 single-encoding SVC with H.264/VP8 fallback; video degrades by
  spatial/temporal layer.
- Runtime NetworkAdaptationController trims video bitrate on loss/RTT and
  recovers as the link clears — no renegotiation. Live connection-quality
  indicator (Excellent/Good/Fair/Weak) in the call UI.

In-call controls: mute, camera on/off (voice→video upgrade in-band),
camera flip, minimize-to-widget, hang up, and accept/decline for incoming
calls. Production logging disabled (DEBUG_MODE=false); temporary call
diagnostic logger removed. Codec rationale in docs/webrtc-config.md.

- config/ice-servers.prod.js: swap ExpressTURN for self-hosted coturn at
  turn.securebit.chat (TURN udp/tcp on 3478, TURNS/TLS on 443). Long-lived
  REST-API credential (expiry capped at int32 max for coturn compatibility).
- Add raw-IP STUN/TURN fallback (144.172.96.126): Safari's WebRTC layer fails
  to resolve STUN/TURN hostnames on some networks and gathers no srflx/relay
  candidates; reaching the server by IP fixes cross-browser (Safari<->Chrome)

Mirror to Codeberg / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
Mirror to PrivacyGuides / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
Completes the messaging controls from v4.8.14 and fixes the bug that made them
appear broken for recipients.

Fixed:
- Per-message metadata was silently dropped for recipients. NotificationIntegration
  wrapped onMessage and deliverMessageToUI with 2-arg shims that called the
  originals without the 3rd argument (meta); with notifications enabled, view-once,
  disappearing timers and unsend all failed on the receiving side. Both wrappers
  now forward all arguments. Added tests/notification-meta-forwarding.test.mjs.
- Chat would not open after SAS: composer props were threaded into the wrong
  component (EnhancedConnectionSetup vs EnhancedChatInterface) -> ReferenceError
  nowTick on the verified re-render. Props moved to the chat component.

Changed:
- Code blocks: lightweight dependency-free syntax highlighting via React nodes
  (no innerHTML/remote scripts); code mode expands the input; copy auto-clears
  the clipboard after ~30s.
- View-once: configurable visible-after-open time (5s/15s/30s/1m) via meta.onceTtl.
- Disappearing timer: duration picker (Off/30s/5m/1h) instead of click-cycling.
- Composer toolbar moved next to "Send files"; borderless buttons, brand-orange
  active state; pickers open upward and are mobile-friendly.
- Sender bubble background lightened to rgba(249,115,22,0.05).

Removed:
- Panic wipe button (disconnect already wipes keys and clears session state).

Transport unchanged: per-message metadata travels inside the encrypted envelope,
whitelisted/bounded by _sanitizeMessageMeta. Full suite: 19 files, all passing.
Docs (README, CHANGELOG) updated; version bumped to 4.8.20.

Mirror to Codeberg / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
Mirror to PrivacyGuides / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
New privacy-focused messaging controls in the composer:
- Code blocks: button wraps the message in a fenced block; both peers render a
  monospace code window with a copy button (clipboard auto-clears after ~30s).
  Window is built from sanitized text via React nodes — no new XSS surface.
- View-once: recipient sees a blurred bubble, reveals on tap, then it is wiped.
  Honestly cooperative (not screenshot-proof).
- Disappearing messages: optional 30s/5m/1h timer auto-deletes on both sides
  with a live countdown; incoming TTL clamped to [5s, 24h].
- Unsend (delete for everyone) via new MESSAGE_TYPES.message_delete control.
- Panic wipe: clears chat, wipes keys and disconnects (behind a confirm).

Transport:
- Per-message metadata (id / view-once / timer) travels inside the encrypted
  envelope, not in the sanitized text, so content cannot spoof these controls.
- _sanitizeMessageMeta whitelists + bounds metadata on send and receive.
- AAD/replay protection, SAS gate and receive-side DOMPurify are unchanged.

Adds tests/secure-chat-features.test.mjs (full suite: 17 files, all passing).
Bumps version to 4.8.14 across package.json, package-lock.json, manifest.json,
index.html, meta.json, README, SECURITY_DISCLAIMER, header and init banner.

- Preserve newlines/tabs/indentation in _sanitizeInputString; stop collapsing

- Stop logging raw AAD (sessionId + keyFingerprint) on validation failure;
  log length only, in both message and file-message AAD validators.
- Add Strict-Transport-Security (2y + preload) and Permissions-Policy
  (camera=self for QR, rest denied) to nginx.conf and .htaccess.
- Add tests/outgoing-message-integrity.test.mjs regression suite.

Mirror to Codeberg / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
Mirror to PrivacyGuides / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
fix(file-transfer): announce received file once, not many times

The per-transfer lock used a single `if` check, so when 3+ chunk
operations queued on the same fileId they awaited the same in-flight
lock and then ran concurrently, breaking assembly atomicity. The lock
now loops until the slot is free (true serialization) and file assembly
is idempotent, so `File received` shows exactly once per file.

fix(verification): stop duplicate connection-setup system messages

handleVerificationBothConfirmed had no guard, so when both peers sent
verification_both_confirmed symmetrically one side ran both the local
detection path and the peer-notification path, emitting "Both parties
confirmed!" and the verified transition (and "Secure connection
established") twice. It now bails out if both confirmations are already
recorded.

fix(ui): wrap long DTLS fingerprint inside the chat bubble

The message text column is a flex child with default min-width:auto, so
the long unbroken fingerprint overflowed. Added min-w-0 so break-words
can wrap it.

Mirror to PrivacyGuides / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
Complete the mandatory receiver-consent gate that was wired in the
backend but never connected to the UI callback chain:

- Add the missing onIncomingFileRequest (4th) callback to
  setFileTransferCallbacks in app.jsx — its absence caused
  handleFileTransferStart to auto-reject every incoming file.
- Remove independent callback registration from FileTransferComponent;
  the component was overwriting app-level callbacks on mount and
  nulling all four on unmount, silently breaking progress/received/
  error handlers whenever the panel was hidden.
- Lift pendingIncomingFiles state to the root component so consent
  prompts are shown regardless of panel visibility; auto-open the
  panel on incoming request.
- Add getReceivedFileObjectURL / revokeReceivedFileObjectURL on
  EnhancedSecureWebRTCManager for download buttons in the panel.
- Update file-transfer-ui-cleanup regression test to match the new
  single-owner callback architecture.
- All 14 tests pass; clean production build.

lockbitchat 207e51361c security: increase PBKDF2 iterations from 100,000 → 310,000 (OWASP 2025 compliance)
CodeQL Analysis / Analyze CodeQL (push) Has been cancelled
Mirror to Codeberg / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
Mirror to PrivacyGuides / mirror (push) Has been cancelled
Updated PBKDF2 key derivation parameters to align with OWASP 2025 recommendations.
PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 now uses 310,000 iterations instead of 100,000 to improve resistance
against modern GPU and ASIC brute-force attacks.

- Updated both encryptData() and decryptData() derivation routines.
- Ensures ~100ms derivation time on modern CPUs (meets OWASP 2025 standard).
- No changes required for backward compatibility of existing ciphertexts.

lockbitchat 6bed472e09 feat(security): implement core crypto and logging hardening
- removed all logging of raw IV, JWK, session tokens, verification codes
  → logs now only include error codes, timestamps and short non-reversible SHA-256 hashes (first 4 bytes)
- replaced global master key storage with PBKDF2-derived non-extractable AES key
  → master key lives only in session memory and is cleared on timeout/focus-out
- added password-based derivation (PBKDF2) for master key initialization
- migrated persistent key storage to AES-GCM wrapped ciphertext in IndexedDB
  → JWK export → encrypt with session master key → store ciphertext + IV + metadata
  → unwrap + import as non-extractable on restore
- removed busy-wait loops and direct `window.gc()` calls
  → replaced with async non-blocking cleanup via setTimeout/Promise/WebWorker
