They cannot inspect payload content, but they **can** observe metadata: packet rates, payload sizes, timestamps, keyframe patterns, and BWE responsiveness. Tiers A–F of the conformance pipeline observe these signals and produce a `Verdict ∈ {Legitimate, Suspect, Abusive}`. + +Tier G (`ResponsePolicy`) escalates: +- `Abusive` → typed `Hangup` + 1 h fingerprint cool-down +- Repeat `Abusive` within 24 h → relay-local `Block` for 24 h + +**The gap:** Block state is in-memory only and per-relay. A blocked fingerprint on relay A can reconnect to relay B (same room, same mesh) and resume abuse immediately. T6.3 explores closing this gap. + +**What is being gossiped?** A *reputation event*: "fingerprint `F` produced violation `V` with verdict `Abusive` at time `T` on relay `R`." + +--- + +## Assumptions + +1. Relays trust each other *connection-level* (TLS fingerprints in `PeerConfig` / `TrustedConfig`) but are **not** guaranteed to share the same abuse-detection thresholds or calibration. +2. The federation mesh is small (tens of relays, not thousands). +3. False positives happen — a legitimate user on a long lecture call can trigger `Suspect` or even `Abusive` on an aggressively-tuned relay. +4. A compromised relay is a realistic threat model (stolen credentials, operator coercion, buggy calibration). +5. Relays are operated by different entities — there is no single administrative root of trust. + +--- + +## Approach 1: Push Gossip + +### Summary +When a relay issues a `Block` action (repeat abusive), it immediately broadcasts a `ReputationEvent` to all peer relays via the existing federation QUIC channels. Peers incorporate the event into their local block lists. + +### Wire format + +```rust +// New SignalMessage variant +ReputationEvent { + version: u8, + /// Fingerprint being reported (the abused party, not the reporter). + fingerprint: String, + /// Which violation code triggered the block. + violation: ViolationCode, + /// When the block was issued (Unix epoch seconds, u64). + issued_at: u64, + /// TTL in seconds (default 86400 = 24 h). + ttl_secs: u32, + /// Relay that issued the block (TLS fingerprint hex). + origin_relay_fp: String, + /// Ed25519 signature over (fingerprint || violation || issued_at || ttl_secs || origin_relay_fp). + /// The signing key is the relay's long-term identity key (reused from client handshake identity). + signature: [u8; 64], +} +``` + +**What is signed?** The canonical serialization of the payload fields (excluding the signature itself). This prevents replay of old events and binds the event to a specific origin relay. + +**Key distribution:** Each relay's Ed25519 public key is published in a well-known endpoint (e.g., `/.well-known/wzp-relay.pub`) or embedded in the `FederationHello` handshake. Verification happens on receipt. + +### Sybil resistance + +- **Signing requirement:** Only relays with a known Ed25519 pubkey can produce valid events. A rogue relay must first be in the `TrustedConfig` to even connect. +- **Origin attribution:** Every event is traceable to a specific relay. If relay R starts flooding false positives, peers can blacklist R's pubkey or reduce R's event weight to zero. +- **No aggregate thresholding:** This design trusts every signed event equally. A single malicious relay can block any fingerprint across the mesh. + +**Mitigation option (not implemented):** Require *k-of-n* independent relay reports before applying a cross-relay block. This introduces complexity (tracking per-fingerprint report counts, decaying counters, handling churn). + +### Convergence model + +- **Eventual consistency:** Events propagate via multi-hop flood (same mechanism as `GlobalRoomActive`). +- **Bounded staleness:** Events carry TTL. Stale events (> TTL) are ignored. +- **No ordering guarantee:** Two relays may issue conflicting events (relay A blocks F, relay B clears F). Last-writer-wins based on `issued_at`. + +### Storage + +- **In-memory only:** `HashMap<(fingerprint, origin_relay), ReputationEntry>` with TTL-based eviction. +- **No persistence:** Restarting a relay loses all gossiped state. Re-blocking requires the origin relay to re-gossip or the abuser to re-offend. +- **Memory bound:** ~100 bytes per entry × 10k entries = ~1 MB. Trivial. + +### Partition tolerance + +- **Partitioned relay A** blocks fingerprint F locally but cannot push to peers. When partition heals, A floods the backlog. Peers apply events with `issued_at` within TTL; expired backlog is ignored. +- **Partitioned relay B** never hears about F's block. F can abuse B freely during the partition. This is acceptable for a best-effort gossip system. + +### Failure modes + +| Scenario | Impact | Mitigation | +|---|---|---| +| Compromised relay floods false blocks | All fingerprints blocked mesh-wide | Manual pubkey blacklist; no automatic mitigation in this design | +| Buggy relay false-positives a popular fingerprint | Legitimate users blocked everywhere | Operator contact + pubkey downgrade | +| Network partition | Split-brain block lists | Acceptable; partition healing replays backlog | +| Clock skew | Events from future/past rejected or mis-ordered | Use `issued_at` with ±5 min tolerance; NTP assumed | +| Replay attack | Old event re-broadcast after TTL | Signature binds `issued_at`; verify TTL at receipt | + +### Complexity + +- **Low-medium:** Reuses existing federation broadcast infrastructure. Adds one `SignalMessage` variant, Ed25519 signing/verification, and an in-memory TTL map. + +--- + +## Approach 2: Pull Gossip (Reputation Oracle) + +### Summary +One relay in the mesh is designated the **reputation oracle** (or a small quorum of 3). Other relays query the oracle periodically (e.g., every 60 s) for the current block list. The oracle maintains the authoritative reputation state. + +### Wire format + +```rust +// Pull request +ReputationQuery { + version: u8, + /// Last checkpoint the requester has seen (opaque cursor). + since_cursor: Option, +} + +// Pull response +ReputationSnapshot { + version: u8, + /// Opaque cursor for delta pagination. + cursor: String, + /// List of active blocks at the oracle. + blocks: Vec, + /// Oracle's Ed25519 signature over the serialized snapshot. + signature: [u8; 64], +} + +struct ReputationBlock { + fingerprint: String, + violation: ViolationCode, + issued_at: u64, + ttl_secs: u32, + /// Which relay originally reported this (for audit). + reported_by: String, +} +``` + +**What is signed?** The entire `ReputationSnapshot` serialized canonically. The oracle is the sole signer. + +**Oracle selection:** Config-based. Each relay's config names its oracle(s): +```toml +[reputation] +oracle = "https://relay-oracle.example.com" +oracle_pubkey = "AA:BB:CC:..." +``` + +### Sybil resistance + +- **Centralized trust:** The oracle is a single point of trust. If the oracle is honest, no rogue relay can poison the mesh. +- **Oracle compromise:** A compromised oracle can block or unblock any fingerprint across all querying relays. This is a **catastrophic** failure mode. +- **Quorum variant:** 3 oracles with 2-of-3 signing. Queries return the intersection of block lists. More resilient but adds latency and complexity. + +### Convergence model + +- **Bounded staleness:** Worst-case = query interval (60 s) + network RTT. +- **Strong consistency within staleness bound:** All querying relays see the same oracle state (modulo query timing skew). +- **No multi-hop gossip:** Direct query/response only. + +### Storage + +- **Oracle side:** In-memory + optional persistence (SQLite or flat file). Oracle restarts reload from disk. +- **Querying relays:** In-memory cache of the last snapshot. No local state between restarts. +- **Memory bound:** Same as Approach 1 (~1 MB for 10k entries). + +### Partition tolerance + +- **Partitioned querying relay:** Falls back to local-only blocking (current behavior). When partition heals, next query re-syncs. +- **Partitioned oracle:** All querying relays lose cross-relay reputation and fall back to local-only. Oracle restart without persistence = same. +- **No split-brain:** Either you have the oracle snapshot or you don't. No conflicting states. + +### Failure modes + +| Scenario | Impact | Mitigation | +|---|---|---| +| Oracle compromise | Global block/unblock of any fingerprint | 2-of-3 quorum; operator out-of-band alert | +| Oracle downtime | All querying relays lose cross-relay reputation | Fallback to local-only; no amplification | +| Rogue relay reports to oracle | Oracle may incorporate false positives | Oracle applies local thresholding (e.g., require 2 independent reports) | +| Query amplification | N relays × 60 s = many queries | Oracle caches; responses are cheap | +| Man-in-the-middle on query | Attacker injects fake snapshot | TLS + signature verification on response | + +### Complexity + +- **Medium:** Adds an HTTP/QUIC query endpoint, snapshot pagination, oracle election/config, and a new failure mode (oracle as SPOF). +- **Operational burden:** Someone must run the oracle. Small federations may not want this. + +--- + +## Approach 3: No Gossip — Explicit Ban-List Distribution + +### Summary +Relays do **not** gossip reputation automatically. Instead, a human admin (or an automated audit pipeline) curates an authoritative ban list, signs it, and pushes it to all relays. Relays apply the list verbatim. + +### Wire format + +```rust +// Signed ban list (distributed out-of-band: HTTPS, SCP, S3, etc.) +BanList { + version: u8, + /// Issued at (Unix epoch seconds). + issued_at: u64, + /// Expires at (Unix epoch seconds). After this, the list is ignored. + expires_at: u64, + /// Entries. + entries: Vec, + /// Admin Ed25519 signature over canonical serialization. + signature: [u8; 64], +} + +struct BanEntry { + fingerprint: String, + /// Human-readable reason (not machine-parsed). + reason: String, + /// Optional: which relay originally reported. + source_relay: Option, +} +``` + +**What is signed?** The entire `BanList`. The admin (not a relay) is the signer. + +**Distribution:** Out-of-band from the federation mesh. Could be: +- Admin `scp`s JSON to each relay's config directory +- Relays poll an HTTPS URL every 5 min +- Shared object storage (S3, GCS) + +**Key distribution:** Admin pubkey is baked into each relay's config at provisioning time: +```toml +[ban_list] +admin_pubkey = "AA:BB:CC:..." +url = "https://ops.example.com/banlist.json" +refresh_secs = 300 +``` + +### Sybil resistance + +- **Strong:** Only the admin can produce a valid ban list. No relay can poison another relay. +- **Admin compromise:** Catastrophic — attacker controls the global ban list. But this is a standard operational threat model (same as DNS root, certificate transparency log, etc.). +- **No relay-to-relay trust required:** Relays don't need to trust each other's calibration or behaviour. + +### Convergence model + +- **Poll-based bounded staleness:** Worst-case = `refresh_secs` (default 300 s = 5 min). +- **Strong consistency:** All relays that successfully fetch the list see identical state. +- **No event propagation:** No flood, no multi-hop, no deduplication needed. + +### Storage + +- **On-disk cache:** Each relay stores the latest fetched ban list to survive restart. +- **In-memory lookup:** `HashSet` for O(1) block checks. +- **Memory bound:** Same as other approaches. + +### Partition tolerance + +- **Partitioned relay:** Continues using its last cached ban list until `expires_at`. After expiry, falls back to local-only blocking. +- **No split-brain:** Either you have the signed list or you don't. + +### Failure modes + +| Scenario | Impact | Mitigation | +|---|---|---| +| Admin key compromise | Global block/unblock of any fingerprint | Key rotation + out-of-band alert | +| Distribution channel down | Relays use stale cached list until expiry | Short expiry + monitoring | +| Admin false-positives a popular fingerprint | Global block of legitimate users | Human review process; short expiry allows quick recovery | +| Relay never fetches list | Local-only blocking only | Monitoring alert on relay ops dashboard | +| List too large | Fetch latency, memory bloat | Pagination; but 10k entries = ~500 KB JSON, trivial | + +### Complexity + +- **Low:** No changes to federation mesh at all. Adds an HTTP polling loop, a file watcher, or an S3 sync. The signing/verification is trivial (one Ed25519 verify on fetch). +- **Operational burden:** Requires a human or automated pipeline to maintain the ban list. This is acceptable for small federations (the WZP target audience) but does not scale to open meshes. + +--- + +## Comparative Summary + +| Dimension | Approach 1: Push Gossip | Approach 2: Pull Oracle | Approach 3: Ban-List Distribution | +|---|---|---|---| +| **Trust model** | Every relay trusts every other relay's verdict equally | Trusts a designated oracle (or 2-of-3 quorum) | Trusts a single admin key | +| **Sybil resistance** | Weak — one rogue relay can poison the mesh | Medium-strong — oracle is gatekeeper | Strong — only admin can sign | +| **Convergence** | Eventual; multi-hop flood | Bounded (query interval); direct pull | Bounded (poll interval); out-of-band | +| **Partition tolerance** | Acceptable (backlog replay on heal) | Acceptable (fallback to local) | Good (cached list + expiry) | +| **False-positive blast radius** | Mesh-wide from one relay | Mesh-wide from oracle | Mesh-wide from admin | +| **Operational burden** | Low — fully automatic | Medium — must run oracle | Medium — must curate list | +| **Federation code changes** | Medium — broadcast loop, dedup, signatures | Medium — query endpoint, snapshot pagination | Low — out-of-band, no mesh changes | +| **Scaling** | Poor — flood doesn't scale past ~50 relays | Good — O(N) queries, oracle is O(1) | Good — O(N) fetches, no mesh load | +| **Audit trail** | Good — every event attributed to origin relay | Good — oracle logs all reports | Good — list is a snapshot | +| **Rollback / correction** | Hard — events spread everywhere; need counter-events | Easy — oracle updates snapshot | Easy — admin publishes new list | + +## Open Questions (Blockers for Implementation) + +1. **Trust model:** Do we trust all peer relays equally (Approach 1), trust a designated oracle (Approach 2), or trust a human admin (Approach 3)? This is a product/operations decision, not a technical one. +2. **Key infrastructure:** The federation layer currently has **no message-level signing**. All three approaches require adding Ed25519 signing/verification to relay-relay messages (or out-of-band fetches). The `wzp-crypto` crate already has Ed25519 identity support (used in client handshake) — it can be reused. +3. **Fingerprint scope:** Is the block scoped to a fingerprint (Ed25519 pubkey), an IP address, or both? Current `ResponsePolicy` uses a string fingerprint. Gossip should probably scope to the cryptographic identity, not IP, to prevent NAT rebind evasion. +4. **Privacy leakage:** Gossiping "fingerprint F is abusive" leaks that F was on a call. Is this acceptable? WZP is not anonymous by design (participants know each other's fingerprints), but operators learning about calls they are not in is a privacy concern. +5. **TTL vs. persistent bans:** Should a gossiped block expire automatically (TTL), or should it require manual review for extension? Automatic expiry limits false-positive damage but allows persistent abusers to cycle. +6. **Rate limiting on gossip:** A compromised relay could flood the mesh with `ReputationEvent` messages. The existing per-room rate limiter (500 pps) doesn't apply to control messages. A per-peer gossip rate limit is needed regardless of approach. + +## Recommendation + +**Do not implement any approach yet.** The blockers above (especially #1 trust model and #4 privacy) need a reviewer/operator design call. T6.3 should remain **Blocked** until then. + +If forced to pick a default for a small, closed federation (the current WZP target audience), **Approach 3 (Ban-List Distribution)** has the lowest complexity, the strongest Sybil resistance, and the easiest rollback. It sacrifices automation but small federations typically have an ops person who can review blocks anyway. Approach 1 (Push Gossip) is more elegant for larger meshes but requires solving the rogue-relay problem first (e.g., k-of-n thresholding). diff --git a/docs/PRD/TASKS.md b/docs/PRD/TASKS.md index 67cfcc3..aca0724 100644 --- a/docs/PRD/TASKS.md +++ b/docs/PRD/TASKS.md @@ -1871,9 +1871,9 @@ Statuses (in order of progression): | T5.8 | Approved | Kimi Code CLI | 2026-05-12T11:15Z | 2026-05-12T11:41Z | [report](reports/T5.8-report.md) | Approved. `ResponsePolicy` state machine + typed `HangupReason::PolicyViolation { code, reason }` + `ViolationCode` enum + 9 tests.
