Security Checklist

🔐 ASN.1 Validation Framework (NEW)

Overview

SecureBit.chat v4.02.442 implements a complete ASN.1 DER parser and validation system. This framework requires special attention when contributing to cryptographic code.

Key Components

ASN1Validator Class

// Core validation class for cryptographic keys
class ASN1Validator {
    constructor() {
        this.supportedOIDs = {
            '1.2.840.10045.3.1.7': 'P-256',  // secp256r1
            '1.3.132.0.34': 'P-384'          // secp384r1
        };
        this.maxKeySize = 2000;  // bytes
        this.minKeySize = 50;    // bytes
    }

    // Complete DER parsing and validation
    validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
        // Implementation details...
    }
}

Integration Points

Key import operations - All keys must pass ASN.1 validation
Key export operations - Exported keys are validated
Real-time validation - Continuous validation during operations

Contributing to ASN.1 Framework

Adding New Curve Support

// To add support for a new elliptic curve:
const newCurveOID = '1.3.132.0.XX';  // Replace XX with actual OID
const curveName = 'P-XXX';            // Replace XXX with curve name

// Add to supportedOIDs
this.supportedOIDs[newCurveOID] = curveName;

// Update validation logic if needed
// Ensure proper EC point format validation

Extending Validation Rules

// To add new validation rules:
validateCustomRule(parsed) {
    // Implement your validation logic
    if (!this.checkCustomCondition(parsed)) {
        throw new Error('Custom validation failed');
    }
    return true;
}

// Integrate with main validation
validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
    const parsed = this.parseDER(keyData);
    
    // Existing validations...
    if (!this.validateSPKI(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateOID(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateECPoint(parsed)) return false;
    
    // New custom validation
    if (!this.validateCustomRule(parsed)) return false;
    
    return true;
}

Testing ASN.1 Validation

Unit Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Framework', () => {
    test('Validates correct P-384 key structure', () => {
        const validKey = generateValidP384Key();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey)).toBe(true);
    });
    
    test('Rejects modified key with valid header', () => {
        const modifiedKey = modifyKeyData(validKey);
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(modifiedKey)).toBe(false);
    });
    
    test('Rejects unsupported curve OID', () => {
        const invalidOIDKey = generateKeyWithInvalidOID();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(invalidOIDKey)).toBe(false);
    });
});

Performance Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Performance', () => {
    test('Validation completes within 10ms', () => {
        const start = performance.now();
        asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey);
        const duration = performance.now() - start;
        expect(duration).toBeLessThan(10);
    });
});

Security Guidelines for ASN.1 Contributions

Critical Requirements

Never bypass validation - All keys must pass complete ASN.1 validation
Maintain strict OID checking - Only support verified, secure algorithms
Preserve size limits - Key size limits prevent DoS attacks
Validate all structural elements - Complete verification is mandatory

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

// ❌ DON'T: Skip validation for performance
const fastImport = (keyData) => {
    // Bypassing validation for speed
    return crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

// ✅ DO: Always validate before processing
const secureImport = async (keyData) => {
    if (!asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(keyData)) {
        throw new Error('Key validation failed');
    }
    return await crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

Validation Order

Parse DER - Complete ASN.1 structure parsing
Validate SPKI - SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure
Validate OID - Algorithm and curve verification
Validate EC Point - Format and structure verification
Apply custom rules - Any additional validation requirements

Breaking Changes and Compatibility

Version 4.02.442 Changes

Enhanced key validation now performs complete ASN.1 parsing
Stricter key acceptance criteria for improved security
Fallback support from P-384 to P-256 maintained
Backward compatibility for valid key structures

Migration Considerations

Existing keys are validated on next use
New keys must pass complete validation
Invalid keys are rejected with clear error messages
Performance impact is minimal (< 10ms per validation)

Documentation Requirements

Adding New Curve Support

// To add support for a new elliptic curve:
const newCurveOID = '1.3.132.0.XX';  // Replace XX with actual OID
const curveName = 'P-XXX';            // Replace XXX with curve name

// Add to supportedOIDs
this.supportedOIDs[newCurveOID] = curveName;

// Update validation logic if needed
// Ensure proper EC point format validation

Extending Validation Rules

// To add new validation rules:
validateCustomRule(parsed) {
    // Implement your validation logic
    if (!this.checkCustomCondition(parsed)) {
        throw new Error('Custom validation failed');
    }
    return true;
}

// Integrate with main validation
validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
    const parsed = this.parseDER(keyData);
    
    // Existing validations...
    if (!this.validateSPKI(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateOID(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateECPoint(parsed)) return false;
    
    // New custom validation
    if (!this.validateCustomRule(parsed)) return false;

Testing ASN.1 Validation

Unit Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Framework', () => {
    test('Validates correct P-384 key structure', () => {
        const validKey = generateValidP384Key();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey)).toBe(true);
    });
    
    test('Rejects modified key with valid header', () => {
        const modifiedKey = modifyKeyData(validKey);
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(modifiedKey)).toBe(false);

    test('Rejects unsupported curve OID', () => {
        const invalidOIDKey = generateKeyWithInvalidOID();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(invalidOIDKey)).toBe(false);
    });
});

Performance Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Performance', () => {
    test('Validation completes within 10ms', () => {
        const start = performance.now();
        asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey);

Security Guidelines for ASN.1 Contributions

Critical Requirements

Never bypass validation - All keys must pass complete ASN.1 validation
Maintain strict OID checking - Only support verified, secure algorithms
Preserve size limits - Key size limits prevent DoS attacks
Validate all structural elements - Complete verification is mandatory

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

// ❌ DON'T: Skip validation for performance
const fastImport = (keyData) => {
    // Bypassing validation for speed
    return crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

// ✅ DO: Always validate before processing
const secureImport = async (keyData) => {
    if (!asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(keyData)) {
        throw new Error('Key validation failed');
    }
    return await crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

Validation Order

Parse DER - Complete ASN.1 structure parsing
Validate SPKI - SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure
Validate OID - Algorithm and curve verification
Validate EC Point - Format and structure verification
Apply custom rules - Any additional validation requirements

Breaking Changes and Compatibility

Version 4.02.442 Changes

Enhanced key validation now performs complete ASN.1 parsing
Stricter key acceptance criteria for improved security
Fallback support from P-384 to P-256 maintained
Backward compatibility for valid key structures

Migration Considerations

Existing keys are validated on next use
New keys must pass complete validation
Invalid keys are rejected with clear error messages
Performance impact is minimal (< 10ms per validation)

Documentation Requirements

🔒 Security Considerations

Critical Areas

These areas require extra careful review:

Cryptographic functions - All crypto code must be reviewed
Key generation - Entropy and randomness
Message handling - Input validation and sanitization
P2P communication - WebRTC security
Lightning integration - Payment verification
ASN.1 validation - Key structure verification (NEW)

Security Checklist

🔐 ASN.1 Validation Framework (NEW)

Overview

SecureBit.chat v4.02.442 implements a complete ASN.1 DER parser and validation system. This framework requires special attention when contributing to cryptographic code.

Key Components

ASN1Validator Class

// Core validation class for cryptographic keys
class ASN1Validator {
    constructor() {
        this.supportedOIDs = {
            '1.2.840.10045.3.1.7': 'P-256',  // secp256r1
            '1.3.132.0.34': 'P-384'          // secp384r1
        };
        this.maxKeySize = 2000;  // bytes
        this.minKeySize = 50;    // bytes
    }

    // Complete DER parsing and validation
    validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
        // Implementation details...
    }
}

Integration Points

Key import operations - All keys must pass ASN.1 validation
Key export operations - Exported keys are validated
Real-time validation - Continuous validation during operations

Contributing to ASN.1 Framework

Adding New Curve Support

// To add support for a new elliptic curve:
const newCurveOID = '1.3.132.0.XX';  // Replace XX with actual OID
const curveName = 'P-XXX';            // Replace XXX with curve name

// Add to supportedOIDs
this.supportedOIDs[newCurveOID] = curveName;

// Update validation logic if needed
// Ensure proper EC point format validation

Extending Validation Rules

// To add new validation rules:
validateCustomRule(parsed) {
    // Implement your validation logic
    if (!this.checkCustomCondition(parsed)) {
        throw new Error('Custom validation failed');
    }
    return true;
}

// Integrate with main validation
validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
    const parsed = this.parseDER(keyData);
    
    // Existing validations...
    if (!this.validateSPKI(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateOID(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateECPoint(parsed)) return false;
    
    // New custom validation
    if (!this.validateCustomRule(parsed)) return false;
    
    return true;
}

Testing ASN.1 Validation

Unit Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Framework', () => {
    test('Validates correct P-384 key structure', () => {
        const validKey = generateValidP384Key();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey)).toBe(true);
    });
    
    test('Rejects modified key with valid header', () => {
        const modifiedKey = modifyKeyData(validKey);
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(modifiedKey)).toBe(false);
    });
    
    test('Rejects unsupported curve OID', () => {
        const invalidOIDKey = generateKeyWithInvalidOID();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(invalidOIDKey)).toBe(false);
    });
});

Performance Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Performance', () => {
    test('Validation completes within 10ms', () => {
        const start = performance.now();
        asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey);
        const duration = performance.now() - start;
        expect(duration).toBeLessThan(10);
    });
});

Security Guidelines for ASN.1 Contributions

Critical Requirements

Never bypass validation - All keys must pass complete ASN.1 validation
Maintain strict OID checking - Only support verified, secure algorithms
Preserve size limits - Key size limits prevent DoS attacks
Validate all structural elements - Complete verification is mandatory

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

// ❌ DON'T: Skip validation for performance
const fastImport = (keyData) => {
    // Bypassing validation for speed
    return crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

// ✅ DO: Always validate before processing
const secureImport = async (keyData) => {
    if (!asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(keyData)) {
        throw new Error('Key validation failed');
    }
    return await crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

Validation Order

Parse DER - Complete ASN.1 structure parsing
Validate SPKI - SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure
Validate OID - Algorithm and curve verification
Validate EC Point - Format and structure verification
Apply custom rules - Any additional validation requirements

Breaking Changes and Compatibility

Version 4.02.442 Changes

Enhanced key validation now performs complete ASN.1 parsing
Stricter key acceptance criteria for improved security
Fallback support from P-384 to P-256 maintained
Backward compatibility for valid key structures

Migration Considerations

Existing keys are validated on next use
New keys must pass complete validation
Invalid keys are rejected with clear error messages
Performance impact is minimal (< 10ms per validation)

Integration Points

Key import operations - All keys must pass ASN.1 validation
Key export operations - Exported keys are validated
Real-time validation - Continuous validation during operations

Contributing to ASN.1 Framework

Adding New Curve Support

// To add support for a new elliptic curve:
const newCurveOID = '1.3.132.0.XX';  // Replace XX with actual OID
const curveName = 'P-XXX';            // Replace XXX with curve name

// Add to supportedOIDs
this.supportedOIDs[newCurveOID] = curveName;

// Update validation logic if needed
// Ensure proper EC point format validation

Extending Validation Rules

// To add new validation rules:
validateCustomRule(parsed) {
    // Implement your validation logic
    if (!this.checkCustomCondition(parsed)) {
        throw new Error('Custom validation failed');
    }
    return true;
}

// Integrate with main validation
validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
    const parsed = this.parseDER(keyData);
    
    // Existing validations...
    if (!this.validateSPKI(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateOID(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateECPoint(parsed)) return false;
    
    // New custom validation
    if (!this.validateCustomRule(parsed)) return false;
    
    return true;
}

Testing ASN.1 Validation

Unit Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Framework', () => {
    test('Validates correct P-384 key structure', () => {
        const validKey = generateValidP384Key();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey)).toBe(true);
    });
    
    test('Rejects modified key with valid header', () => {
        const modifiedKey = modifyKeyData(validKey);
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(modifiedKey)).toBe(false);
    });
    
    test('Rejects unsupported curve OID', () => {
        const invalidOIDKey = generateKeyWithInvalidOID();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(invalidOIDKey)).toBe(false);
    });
});

Performance Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Performance', () => {
    test('Validation completes within 10ms', () => {
        const start = performance.now();
        asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey);
        const duration = performance.now() - start;
        expect(duration).toBeLessThan(10);

Security Guidelines for ASN.1 Contributions

Critical Requirements

Never bypass validation - All keys must pass complete ASN.1 validation
Maintain strict OID checking - Only support verified, secure algorithms
Preserve size limits - Key size limits prevent DoS attacks
Validate all structural elements - Complete verification is mandatory

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

// ❌ DON'T: Skip validation for performance
const fastImport = (keyData) => {
    // Bypassing validation for speed
    return crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

// ✅ DO: Always validate before processing
const secureImport = async (keyData) => {
    if (!asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(keyData)) {
        throw new Error('Key validation failed');
    }
    return await crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

Validation Order

Parse DER - Complete ASN.1 structure parsing
Validate SPKI - SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure
Validate OID - Algorithm and curve verification
Validate EC Point - Format and structure verification
Apply custom rules - Any additional validation requirements

Breaking Changes and Compatibility

Version 4.02.442 Changes

Enhanced key validation now performs complete ASN.1 parsing
Stricter key acceptance criteria for improved security
Fallback support from P-384 to P-256 maintained
Backward compatibility for valid key structures

Migration Considerations

Existing keys are validated on next use
New keys must pass complete validation
Invalid keys are rejected with clear error messages
Performance impact is minimal (< 10ms per validation)

Documentation Requirements

Lightning integration - Payment verification
ASN.1 validation - Key structure verification (NEW)

Security Checklist

🔐 ASN.1 Validation Framework (NEW)

Overview

SecureBit.chat v4.02.442 implements a complete ASN.1 DER parser and validation system. This framework requires special attention when contributing to cryptographic code.

Key Components

ASN1Validator Class

// Core validation class for cryptographic keys
class ASN1Validator {
    constructor() {
        this.supportedOIDs = {
            '1.2.840.10045.3.1.7': 'P-256',  // secp256r1
            '1.3.132.0.34': 'P-384'          // secp384r1
        };
        this.maxKeySize = 2000;  // bytes
        this.minKeySize = 50;    // bytes
    }

    // Complete DER parsing and validation
    validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
        // Implementation details...
    }
}

Integration Points

Key import operations - All keys must pass ASN.1 validation
Key export operations - Exported keys are validated
Real-time validation - Continuous validation during operations

Contributing to ASN.1 Framework

Adding New Curve Support

// To add support for a new elliptic curve:
const newCurveOID = '1.3.132.0.XX';  // Replace XX with actual OID
const curveName = 'P-XXX';            // Replace XXX with curve name

// Add to supportedOIDs
this.supportedOIDs[newCurveOID] = curveName;

// Update validation logic if needed
// Ensure proper EC point format validation

Extending Validation Rules

// To add new validation rules:
validateCustomRule(parsed) {
    // Implement your validation logic
    if (!this.checkCustomCondition(parsed)) {
        throw new Error('Custom validation failed');
    }
    return true;
}

// Integrate with main validation
validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
    const parsed = this.parseDER(keyData);
    
    // Existing validations...
    if (!this.validateSPKI(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateOID(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateECPoint(parsed)) return false;
    
    // New custom validation
    if (!this.validateCustomRule(parsed)) return false;
    
    return true;
}

Testing ASN.1 Validation

Unit Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Framework', () => {
    test('Validates correct P-384 key structure', () => {
        const validKey = generateValidP384Key();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey)).toBe(true);
    });
    
    test('Rejects modified key with valid header', () => {
        const modifiedKey = modifyKeyData(validKey);
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(modifiedKey)).toBe(false);
    });
    
    test('Rejects unsupported curve OID', () => {
        const invalidOIDKey = generateKeyWithInvalidOID();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(invalidOIDKey)).toBe(false);
    });
});

Performance Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Performance', () => {
    test('Validation completes within 10ms', () => {
        const start = performance.now();
        asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey);
        const duration = performance.now() - start;
        expect(duration).toBeLessThan(10);
    });
});

Security Guidelines for ASN.1 Contributions

Critical Requirements

Never bypass validation - All keys must pass complete ASN.1 validation
Maintain strict OID checking - Only support verified, secure algorithms
Preserve size limits - Key size limits prevent DoS attacks
Validate all structural elements - Complete verification is mandatory

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

// ❌ DON'T: Skip validation for performance
const fastImport = (keyData) => {
    // Bypassing validation for speed
    return crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

// ✅ DO: Always validate before processing
const secureImport = async (keyData) => {
    if (!asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(keyData)) {
        throw new Error('Key validation failed');
    }
    return await crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

Validation Order

Parse DER - Complete ASN.1 structure parsing
Validate SPKI - SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure
Validate OID - Algorithm and curve verification
Validate EC Point - Format and structure verification

Integration Points

Key import operations - All keys must pass ASN.1 validation
Key export operations - Exported keys are validated
Real-time validation - Continuous validation during operations

Contributing to ASN.1 Framework

Adding New Curve Support

// To add support for a new elliptic curve:
const newCurveOID = '1.3.132.0.XX';  // Replace XX with actual OID
const curveName = 'P-XXX';            // Replace XXX with curve name

// Add to supportedOIDs
this.supportedOIDs[newCurveOID] = curveName;

// Update validation logic if needed
// Ensure proper EC point format validation

Extending Validation Rules

// To add new validation rules:
validateCustomRule(parsed) {
    // Implement your validation logic
    if (!this.checkCustomCondition(parsed)) {
        throw new Error('Custom validation failed');
    }
    return true;
}

// Integrate with main validation
validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
    const parsed = this.parseDER(keyData);
    
    // Existing validations...
    if (!this.validateSPKI(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateOID(parsed)) return false;
    if (!this.validateECPoint(parsed)) return false;
    
    // New custom validation
    if (!this.validateCustomRule(parsed)) return false;
    
    return true;
}

Testing ASN.1 Validation

Unit Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Framework', () => {
    test('Validates correct P-384 key structure', () => {
        const validKey = generateValidP384Key();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey)).toBe(true);
    });
    
    test('Rejects modified key with valid header', () => {
        const modifiedKey = modifyKeyData(validKey);
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(modifiedKey)).toBe(false);
    });
    
    test('Rejects unsupported curve OID', () => {
        const invalidOIDKey = generateKeyWithInvalidOID();
        expect(asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(invalidOIDKey)).toBe(false);
    });
});

Performance Tests

describe('ASN.1 Validation Performance', () => {
    test('Validation completes within 10ms', () => {
        const start = performance.now();
        asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(validKey);
        const duration = performance.now() - start;
        expect(duration).toBeLessThan(10);
    });

Security Guidelines for ASN.1 Contributions

Critical Requirements

Never bypass validation - All keys must pass complete ASN.1 validation
Maintain strict OID checking - Only support verified, secure algorithms
Preserve size limits - Key size limits prevent DoS attacks
Validate all structural elements - Complete verification is mandatory

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

// ❌ DON'T: Skip validation for performance
const fastImport = (keyData) => {
    // Bypassing validation for speed
    return crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

// ✅ DO: Always validate before processing
const secureImport = async (keyData) => {
    if (!asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(keyData)) {
        throw new Error('Key validation failed');
    }
    return await crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

Validation Order

Parse DER - Complete ASN.1 structure parsing
Validate SPKI - SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure
Validate OID - Algorithm and curve verification
Validate EC Point - Format and structure verification
Apply custom rules - Any additional validation requirements

Breaking Changes and Compatibility

Version 4.02.442 Changes

Enhanced key validation now performs complete ASN.1 parsing
Stricter key acceptance criteria for improved security
Fallback support from P-384 to P-256 maintained
Backward compatibility for valid key structures

Migration Considerations

Existing keys are validated on next use
New keys must pass complete validation
Invalid keys are rejected with clear error messages
Performance impact is minimal (< 10ms per validation)

Documentation Requirements

const secureImport = async (keyData) => {
    if (!asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(keyData)) {
        throw new Error('Key validation failed');
    }
    return await crypto.subtle.importKey('spki', keyData, algorithm, false, ['verify']);
};

Validation Order

Parse DER - Complete ASN.1 structure parsing
Validate SPKI - SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure
Validate OID - Algorithm and curve verification
Validate EC Point - Format and structure verification
Apply custom rules - Any additional validation requirements

Breaking Changes and Compatibility

Version 4.02.442 Changes

Enhanced key validation now performs complete ASN.1 parsing
Stricter key acceptance criteria for improved security
Fallback support from P-384 to P-256 maintained
Backward compatibility for valid key structures

Migration Considerations

Existing keys are validated on next use
New keys must pass complete validation
Invalid keys are rejected with clear error messages
Performance impact is minimal (< 10ms per validation)

Documentation Requirements

Code Documentation

/**
 * Validates cryptographic key structure using complete ASN.1 DER parsing
 * 
 * @param {ArrayBuffer} keyData - Raw key data to validate
 * @returns {boolean} - True if validation passes, false otherwise
 * @throws {Error} - Detailed error message for validation failures
 * 
 * @example
 * const isValid = asn1Validator.validateKeyStructure(keyData);
 * if (!isValid) {
 *     console.error('Key validation failed');
 * }
 */
validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
    // Implementation...
}

🔒 Security Considerations

Critical Areas

These areas require extra careful review:

Cryptographic functions - All crypto code must be reviewed
Key generation - Entropy and randomness
Message handling - Input validation and sanitization
P2P communication - WebRTC security
Lightning integration - Payment verification
ASN.1 validation - Key structure verification (NEW)

🔐 ASN.1 Validation Framework (NEW)

Overview

SecureBit.chat v4.02.442 implements a complete ASN.1 DER parser and validation system. This framework requires special attention when contributing to cryptographic code.

Key Components

ASN1Validator Class

// Core validation class for cryptographic keys
class ASN1Validator {
    constructor() {
        this.supportedOIDs = {
            '1.2.840.10045.3.1.7': 'P-256',  // secp256r1
            '1.3.132.0.34': 'P-384'          // secp384r1
        };
        this.maxKeySize = 2000;  // bytes
        this.minKeySize = 50;    // bytes
    }

    // Complete DER parsing and validation
    validateKeyStructure(keyData) {
        // Implementation details...
    }
}

Integration Points

Key import operations - All keys must pass ASN.1 validation
Key export operations - Exported keys are validated
Real-time validation - Continuous validation during operations

Contributing to ASN.1 Framework

Adding New Curve Support

// To add support for a new elliptic curve:
const newCurveOID = '1.3.132.0.XX';  // Replace XX with actual OID
const curveName = 'P-XXX';            // Replace XXX with curve name

// Add to supportedOIDs
this.supportedOIDs[newCurveOID] = curveName;

// Update validation logic if needed
// Ensure proper EC point format validation

Extending Validation Rules

// To add new validation rules:
validateCustomRule(parsed) {
    // Implement your validation logic
    if (!this
