Clef
|
|
----
|
|
Clef can be used to sign transactions and data and is meant as a replacement for geth's account management.
|
|
This allows DApps not to depend on geth's account management. When a DApp wants to sign data it can send the data to
|
|
the signer, the signer will then provide the user with context and asks the user for permission to sign the data. If
|
|
the users grants the signing request the signer will send the signature back to the DApp.
|
|
|
|
This setup allows a DApp to connect to a remote Ethereum node and send transactions that are locally signed. This can
|
|
help in situations when a DApp is connected to a remote node because a local Ethereum node is not available, not
|
|
synchronised with the chain or a particular Ethereum node that has no built-in (or limited) account management.
|
|
|
|
Clef can run as a daemon on the same machine, or off a usb-stick like [usb armory](https://inversepath.com/usbarmory),
|
|
or a separate VM in a [QubesOS](https://www.qubes-os.org/) type os setup.
|
|
|
|
Check out
|
|
|
|
* the [tutorial](tutorial.md) for some concrete examples on how the signer works.
|
|
* the [setup docs](docs/setup.md) for some information on how to configure it to work on QubesOS or USBArmory.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Security model
|
|
|
|
The security model of the signer is as follows:
|
|
|
|
* One critical component (the signer binary / daemon) is responsible for handling cryptographic operations: signing, private keys, encryption/decryption of keystore files.
|
|
* The signer binary has a well-defined 'external' API.
|
|
* The 'external' API is considered UNTRUSTED.
|
|
* The signer binary also communicates with whatever process that invoked the binary, via stdin/stdout.
|
|
* This channel is considered 'trusted'. Over this channel, approvals and passwords are communicated.
|
|
|
|
The general flow for signing a transaction using e.g. geth is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, `geth` would be started with `--externalsigner=http://localhost:8550` and would relay requests to `eth.sendTransaction`.
|
|
|
|
## TODOs
|
|
|
|
Some snags and todos
|
|
|
|
* [ ] The signer should take a startup param "--no-change", for UIs that do not contain the capability
|
|
to perform changes to things, only approve/deny. Such a UI should be able to start the signer in
|
|
a more secure mode by telling it that it only wants approve/deny capabilities.
|
|
|
|
* [x] It would be nice if the signer could collect new 4byte-id:s/method selectors, and have a
|
|
secondary database for those (`4byte_custom.json`). Users could then (optionally) submit their collections for
|
|
inclusion upstream.
|
|
|
|
* It should be possible to configure the signer to check if an account is indeed known to it, before
|
|
passing on to the UI. The reason it currently does not, is that it would make it possible to enumerate
|
|
accounts if it immediately returned "unknown account".
|
|
* [x] It should be possible to configure the signer to auto-allow listing (certain) accounts, instead of asking every time.
|
|
* [x] Done Upon startup, the signer should spit out some info to the caller (particularly important when executed in `stdio-ui`-mode),
|
|
invoking methods with the following info:
|
|
* [x] Version info about the signer
|
|
* [x] Address of API (http/ipc)
|
|
* [ ] List of known accounts
|
|
* [ ] Have a default timeout on signing operations, so that if the user has not answered within e.g. 60 seconds, the request is rejected.
|
|
* [ ] `account_signRawTransaction`
|
|
* [ ] `account_bulkSignTransactions([] transactions)` should
|
|
* only exist if enabled via config/flag
|
|
* only allow non-data-sending transactions
|
|
* all txs must use the same `from`-account
|
|
* let the user confirm, showing
|
|
* the total amount
|
|
* the number of unique recipients
|
|
|
|
* Geth todos
|
|
- The signer should pass the `Origin` header as call-info to the UI. As of right now, the way that info about the request is
|
|
put together is a bit of a hack into the http server. This could probably be greatly improved
|
|
- Relay: Geth should be started in `geth --external_signer localhost:8550`.
|
|
- Currently, the Geth APIs use `common.Address` in the arguments to transaction submission (e.g `to` field). This
|
|
type is 20 `bytes`, and is incapable of carrying checksum information. The signer uses `common.MixedcaseAddress`, which
|
|
retains the original input.
|
|
- The Geth api should switch to use the same type, and relay `to`-account verbatim to the external api.
|
|
|
|
* [x] Storage
|
|
* [x] An encrypted key-value storage should be implemented
|
|
* See [rules.md](rules.md) for more info about this.
|
|
|
|
* Another potential thing to introduce is pairing.
|
|
* To prevent spurious requests which users just accept, implement a way to "pair" the caller with the signer (external API).
|
|
* Thus geth/mist/cpp would cryptographically handshake and afterwards the caller would be allowed to make signing requests.
|
|
* This feature would make the addition of rules less dangerous.
|
|
|
|
* Wallets / accounts. Add API methods for wallets.
|
|
|
|
## Communication
|
|
|
|
### External API
|
|
|
|
The signer listens to HTTP requests on `rpcaddr`:`rpcport`, with the same JSONRPC standard as Geth. The messages are
|
|
expected to be JSON [jsonrpc 2.0 standard](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification).
|
|
|
|
Some of these call can require user interaction. Clients must be aware that responses
|
|
may be delayed significantly or may never be received if a users decides to ignore the confirmation request.
|
|
|
|
The External API is **untrusted** : it does not accept credentials over this api, nor does it expect
|
|
that requests have any authority.
|
|
|
|
### UI API
|
|
|
|
The signer has one native console-based UI, for operation without any standalone tools.
|
|
However, there is also an API to communicate with an external UI. To enable that UI,
|
|
the signer needs to be executed with the `--stdio-ui` option, which allocates the
|
|
`stdin`/`stdout` for the UI-api.
|
|
|
|
An example (insecure) proof-of-concept of has been implemented in `pythonsigner.py`.
|
|
|
|
The model is as follows:
|
|
|
|
* The user starts the UI app (`pythonsigner.py`).
|
|
* The UI app starts the `signer` with `--stdio-ui`, and listens to the
|
|
process output for confirmation-requests.
|
|
* The `signer` opens the external http api.
|
|
* When the `signer` receives requests, it sends a `jsonrpc` request via `stdout`.
|
|
* The UI app prompts the user accordingly, and responds to the `signer`
|
|
* The `signer` signs (or not), and responds to the original request.
|
|
|
|
## External API
|
|
|
|
See the [external api changelog](extapi_changelog.md) for information about changes to this API.
|
|
|
|
### Encoding
|
|
- number: positive integers that are hex encoded
|
|
- data: hex encoded data
|
|
- string: ASCII string
|
|
|
|
All hex encoded values must be prefixed with `0x`.
|
|
|
|
## Methods
|
|
|
|
### account_new
|
|
|
|
#### Create new password protected account
|
|
|
|
The signer will generate a new private key, encrypts it according to [web3 keystore spec](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Web3-Secret-Storage-Definition) and stores it in the keystore directory.
|
|
The client is responsible for creating a backup of the keystore. If the keystore is lost there is no method of retrieving lost accounts.
|
|
|
|
#### Arguments

|
|
None
|
|
|
|
#### Result
|
|
- address [string]: account address that is derived from the generated key
|
|
- url [string]: location of the keyfile

### account_signTransaction
|
|
|
|
#### Sign transactions
|
|
Signs a transactions and responds with the signed transaction in RLP encoded form.
|
|
|
|
#### Arguments
|
|
2. transaction object:
|
|
- `from` [address]: account to send the transaction from
|
|
- `to` [address]: receiver account. If omitted or `0x`, will cause contract creation.
|
|
- `gas` [number]: maximum amount of gas to burn
|
|
- `gasPrice` [number]: gas price
|
|
- `value` [number:optional]: amount of Wei to send with the transaction
|
|
- `data` [data:optional]: input data
|
|
- `nonce` [number]: account nonce
|
|
3. method signature [string:optional]
|
|
- The method signature, if present, is to aid decoding the calldata. Should consist of `methodname(paramtype,...)`, e.g. `transfer(uint256,address)`. The signer may use this data to parse the supplied calldata, and show the user. The data, however, is considered totally untrusted, and reliability is not expected.

## UI API
|
|
|
|
These methods needs to be implemented by a UI listener.
|
|
|
|
By starting the signer with the switch `--stdio-ui-test`, the signer will invoke all known methods, and expect the UI to respond with
|
|
denials. This can be used during development to ensure that the API is (at least somewhat) correctly implemented.
|
|
See `pythonsigner`, which can be invoked via `python3 pythonsigner.py test` to perform the 'denial-handshake-test'.
|
|
|
|
All methods in this API uses object-based parameters, so that there can be no mixups of parameters: each piece of data is accessed by key.
|
|
|
|
See the [ui api changelog](intapi_changelog.md) for information about changes to this API.
|
|
|
|
OBS! A slight deviation from `json` standard is in place: every request and response should be confined to a single line.
|
|
Whereas the `json` specification allows for linebreaks, linebreaks __should not__ be used in this communication channel, to make
|
|
things simpler for both parties.
|
|
|
|
### ApproveTx

|
### ShowInfo
|
|
|
|
The UI should show the info to the user. Does not expect response.
|
|
|
|
#### Sample call
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
|
|
"id": 9,
|
|
"method": "ShowInfo",
|
|
"params": [
|
|
{
|
|
"text": "Tests completed"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ShowError
|
|
|
|
The UI should show the info to the user. Does not expect response.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
|
|
"id": 2,
|
|
"method": "ShowError",
|
|
"params": [
|
|
{
|
|
"text": "Testing 'ShowError'"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### OnApproved
|
|
|
|
`OnApprovedTx` is called when a transaction has been approved and signed. The call contains the return value that will be sent to the external caller. The return value from this method is ignored - the reason for having this callback is to allow the ruleset to keep track of approved transactions.
|
|
|
|
When implementing rate-limited rules, this callback should be used.
|
|
|
|
TLDR; Use this method to keep track of signed transactions, instead of using the data in `ApproveTx`.
|
|
|
|
### OnSignerStartup
|
|
|
|
This method provide the UI with information about what API version the signer uses (both internal and external) aswell as build-info and external api,
|
|
in k/v-form.
|
|
|
|
Example call:
|
|
```json
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
|
|
"id": 1,
|
|
"method": "OnSignerStartup",
|
|
"params": [
|
|
{
|
|
"info": {
|
|
"extapi_http": "http://localhost:8550",
|
|
"extapi_ipc": null,
|
|
"extapi_version": "2.0.0",
|
|
"intapi_version": "1.2.0"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Rules for UI apis
|
|
|
|
A UI should conform to the following rules.
|
|
|
|
* A UI MUST NOT load any external resources that were not embedded/part of the UI package.
|
|
* For example, not load icons, stylesheets from the internet
|
|
* Not load files from the filesystem, unless they reside in the same local directory (e.g. config files)
|
|
* A Graphical UI MUST show the blocky-identicon for ethereum addresses.
|
|
* A UI MUST warn display approproate warning if the destination-account is formatted with invalid checksum.
|
|
* A UI MUST NOT open any ports or services
|
|
* The signer opens the public port
|
|
* A UI SHOULD verify the permissions on the signer binary, and refuse to execute or warn if permissions allow non-user write.
|
|
* A UI SHOULD inform the user about the `SHA256` or `MD5` hash of the binary being executed
|
|
* A UI SHOULD NOT maintain a secondary storage of data, e.g. list of accounts
|
|
* The signer provides accounts
|
|
* A UI SHOULD, to the best extent possible, use static linking / bundling, so that required libraries are bundled
|
|
along with the UI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
