BOLT #8: Encrypted and Authenticated Transport

All communications between Lightning nodes is encrypted in order to provide confidentiality for all transcripts between nodes, and authenticated to avoid malicious interference. Each node has a known long-term identifier which is a public key on Bitcoin's secp256k1 curve. This long-term public key is used within the protocol to establish an encrypted+authenticated connection with peers, and also to authenticate any information advertised on behalf of a node.

Cryptographic Messaging Overview

Prior to sending any lightning messages, nodes must first initiate the cryptographic session state which is used to encrypt and authenticate all messages sent between nodes. The initialization of this cryptographic session state is completely distinct from any inner protocol message header or conventions.

The transcript between two nodes is separated into two distinct segments:

  1. First, before any actual data transfer, both nodes participate in an authenticated key agreement protocol which is based off of the Noise Protocol Framework2.
  2. If the initial handshake is successful, then nodes enter the lightning message exchange phase. In the lightning message exchange phase, all messages are AEAD ciphertexts.

Authenticated Key Agreement Handshake

The handshake chosen for the authenticated key exchange is Noise_XK. As a "pre-message", we assume that the initiator knows the identity public key of the responder. This handshake provides a degree of identity hiding for the responder, its public key is never transmitted during the handshake. Instead, authentication is achieved implicitly via a series of ECDH (Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman) operations followed by a MAC check.

The authenticated key agreement (Noise_XK) is performed in three distinct steps. During each "act" of the handshake, some (possibly encrypted) keying material is sent to the other party, an ECDH is performed based on exactly which act is being executed with the result mixed into the current sent of encryption keys (ck the chaining key and k the encryption key), and finally an AEAD payload with a zero length cipher text is sent. As this payload is of length zero, only a MAC is sent across. The mixing of ECDH outputs into a hash digest forms an incremental TripleDH handshake.

Using the language of the Noise Protocol, e and s (both public keys) indicate possibly encrypted keying material, and es, ee, se each indicate an ECDH operation between two keys. The handshake is laid out as follows:

Noise_XK(s, rs):
   <- s
   ...
   -> e, es
   <- e, ee
   -> s, se

All of the handshake data sent across the wire, including the keying material, is incrementally hashed into a session-wide "handshake digest", h. Note that the handshake state h, is never transmitted during the handshake, instead digest is used as the Associated Data within the zero-length AEAD messages.

By authenticating each message sent, we can ensure that a MiTM hasn't modified or replaced any of the data sent across as part of a handshake, as the MAC check would fail on the other side if so.

A successful check of the MAC by the receiver indicates implicitly that all authentication has been successful up to that point. If MAC check ever fails during the handshake process, then the connection is to be immediately terminated.

Handshake Versioning

Each message sent during the initial handshake starts with a single leading byte which indicates the version used for the current handshake. A version of 0 indicates that no change is necessary, while a non-zero version indicate the client has deviated from the protocol originally specified within this document. Clients MUST reject handshake attempts initiated with an unknown version.

Noise Protocol Instantiation

Concrete instantiations of the Noise Protocol require the definition of three abstract cryptographic objects: the hash function, the elliptic curve, and finally the AEAD cipher scheme. Within our instantiation SHA-256 is chosen as the hash function, secp256k1 as the elliptic curve, and finally ChaChaPoly-1305 as the AEAD construction. The composition of ChaCha20 and Poly1305 used MUST conform to RFC 75391. With this laid out, the official Noise protocol name for our variant is: Noise_XK_secp256k1_ChaChaPoly_SHA256. The ASCII string representation of this value is hashed into a digest used to initialize the starting handshake state. If the protocol names of two endpoints differ, then the handshake process fails immediately.

Authenticated Key Exchange Handshake Specification

The handshake proceeds in three acts, taking 1.5 round trips. Each handshake is a fixed sized payload without any header or additional meta-data attached. The exact size of each Act is as follows:

  • Act One: 50 bytes
  • Act Two: 50 bytes
  • Act Three: 66 bytes

Handshake State

Throughout the handshake process, each side maintains these variables:

  • ck: The chaining key. This value is the accumulated hash of all previous ECDH outputs. At the end of the handshake, ck is used to derive the encryption keys for lightning messages.

  • h: The handshake hash. This value is the accumulated hash of all handshake data that has been sent and received so far during the handshake process.

  • temp_k1, temp_k2, temp_k3: intermediate keys used to encrypt/decrypt the zero-length AEAD payloads at the end of each handshake message.

  • e: A party's ephemeral keypair. For each session a node MUST generate a new ephemeral key with strong cryptographic randomness.

  • s: A party's static public key (ls for local, rs for remote)

The following functions will also be referenced:

  • ECDH(rk, k): Performs an Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman operation using rk which is a secp256k1 public key and k which is a valid private key within the finite field as defined by the curve parameters.

    • The returned value is the SHA256 of the DER compressed format of the generated point.

  • HKDF(salt,ikm): a function is defined in 3, evaluated with a zero-length info field.

    • All invocations of the HKDF implicitly return 64-bytes of cryptographic randomness using the extract-and-expand component of the HKDF.

  • encryptWithAD(k, n, ad, plaintext): outputs encrypt(k, n, ad, plaintext)

    • where encrypt is an evaluation of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (IETF variant) with the passed arguments, with nonce n encoded as 32 zero bits followed by a little-endian 64-bit value (this follows the Noise Protocol convention, rather than our normal endian).

  • decryptWithAD(k, n, ad, ciphertext): outputs decrypt(k, n, ad, ciphertext)

    • where decrypt is an evaluation of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (IETF variant) with the passed arguments, with nonce n encoded as 32 zero bits followed by a little-endian 64-bit value.

  • generateKey()

    • where generateKey generates and returns a fresh secp256k1 keypair
    • the object returned by generateKey has two attributes:
      • .pub: which returns an abstract object representing the public key
      • .priv: which represents the private key used to generate the public key
    • the object also has a single method:
      • .serializeCompressed()

  • a || b denotes the concatenation of two byte strings a and b

Handshake State Initialization

Before the start of the first act, both sides initialize their per-sessions state as follows:

  1. h = SHA-256(protocolName)

    • where protocolName = "Noise_XK_secp256k1_ChaChaPoly_SHA256" encoded as an ASCII string.

  2. ck = h

  3. h = SHA-256(h || prologue)

    • where prologue is the ASCII string: lightning.

As a concluding step, both sides mix the responder's public key into the handshake digest:

  • The initiating node mixes in the responding node's static public key serialized in Bitcoin's DER compressed format:

    • h = SHA-256(h || rs.pub.serializeCompressed())

  • The responding node mixes in their local static public key serialized in Bitcoin's DER compressed format:

    • h = SHA-256(h || ls.pub.serializeCompressed())

Handshake Exchange

Act One

    -> e, es

Act One is sent from initiator to responder. During Act One, the initiator attempts to satisfy an implicit challenge by the responder. To complete this challenge, the initiator must know the static public key of the responder.

The handshake message is exactly 50 bytes: 1 byte for the handshake version, 33 bytes for the compressed ephemeral public key of the initiator, and 16 bytes for the poly1305 tag.

Sender Actions:

  • e = generateKey()

  • h = SHA-256(h || e.pub.serializeCompressed())

    • The newly generated ephemeral key is accumulated into our running handshake digest.

  • ss = ECDH(rs, e.priv)

    • The initiator performs a ECDH between its newly generated ephemeral key with the remote node's static public key.

  • ck, temp_k1 = HKDF(ck, ss)

    • This phase generates a new temporary encryption key which is used to generate the authenticating MAC.

  • c = encryptWithAD(temp_k1, 0, h, zero)

    • where zero is a zero-length plaintext

  • h = SHA-256(h || c)

    • Finally, the generated ciphertext is accumulated into the authenticating handshake digest.

  • Send m = 0 || e.pub.serializeCompressed() || c to the responder over the network buffer.

Receiver Actions:

  • Read exactly 50-bytes from the network buffer.

  • Parse out the read message (m) into v = m[0], re = m[1:33] and c = m[34:]

    • where m[0] is the first byte of m, m[1:33] are the next 33 bytes of m and m[34:] is the last 16 bytes of m
    • The raw bytes of the remote party's ephemeral public key (e) are to be deserialized into a point on the curve using affine coordinates as encoded by the key's serialized composed format.

  • If v is an unrecognized handshake version, then the responder MUST abort the connection attempt.

  • h = SHA-256(h || re.serializeCompressed())

    • Accumulate the initiator's ephemeral key into the authenticating handshake digest.

  • ss = ECDH(re, s.priv)

    • The responder performs an ECDH between its static public key and the initiator's ephemeral public key.

  • ck, temp_k1 = HKDF(ck, ss)

    • This phase generates a new temporary encryption key which will be used to shortly check the authenticating MAC.

  • p = decryptWithAD(temp_k1, 0, h, c)

    • If the MAC check in this operation fails, then the initiator does not know our static public key. If so, then the responder MUST terminate the connection without any further messages.

  • h = SHA-256(h || c)

    • Mix the received ciphertext into the handshake digest. This step serves to ensure the payload wasn't modified by a MiTM.

Act Two

   <- e, ee

Act Two is sent from the responder to the initiator. Act Two will only take place if Act One was successful. Act One was successful if the responder was able to properly decrypt and check the MAC of the tag sent at the end of Act One.

The handshake is exactly 50 bytes: 1 byte for the handshake version, 33 bytes for the compressed ephemeral public key of the responder, and 16 bytes for the poly1305 tag.

Sender Actions:

  • e = generateKey()

  • h = SHA-256(h || e.pub.serializeCompressed())

    • The newly generated ephemeral key is accumulated into our running handshake digest.

  • ss = ECDH(re, e.priv)

    • where re is the ephemeral key of the initiator which was received during ActOne.

  • ck, temp_k2 = HKDF(ck, ss)

    • This phase generates a new temporary encryption key which is used to generate the authenticating MAC.

  • c = encryptWithAD(temp_k2, 0, h, zero)

    • where zero is a zero-length plaintext

  • h = SHA-256(h || c)

    • Finally, the generated ciphertext is accumulated into the authenticating handshake digest.

  • Send m = 0 || e.pub.serializeCompressed() || c to the initiator over the network buffer.

Receiver Actions:

  • Read exactly 50-bytes from the network buffer.

  • Parse out the read message (m) into v = m[0], re = m[1:33] and c = m[34:]

    • where m[0] is the first byte of m, m[1:33] are the next 33 bytes of m and m[34:] is the last 16 bytes of m

  • If v is an unrecognized handshake version, then the responder MUST abort the connection attempt.

  • h = SHA-256(h || re.serializeCompressed())

  • ss = ECDH(re, e.priv)

    • where re is the responder's ephemeral public key.
    • The raw bytes of the remote party's ephemeral public key (re) are to be deserialized into a point on the curve using affine coordinates as encoded by the key's serialized composed format.

  • ck, temp_k2 = HKDF(ck, ss)

    • This phase generates a new temporary encryption key which is used to generate the authenticating MAC.

  • p = decryptWithAD(temp_k2, 0, h, c)

    • If the MAC check in this operation fails, then the initiator MUST terminate the connection without any further messages.

  • h = SHA-256(h || c)

    • Mix the received ciphertext into the handshake digest. This step serves to ensure the payload wasn't modified by a MiTM.

Act Three

   -> s, se

Act Three is the final phase in the authenticated key agreement described in this section. This act is sent from the initiator to the responder as a final concluding step. Act Three is only executed iff Act Two was successful. During Act Three, the initiator transports its static public key to the responder encrypted with strong forward secrecy using the accumulated HKDF derived secret key at this point of the handshake.

The handshake is exactly 66 bytes: 1 byte for the handshake version, 33 bytes for the ephemeral public key encrypted with the ChaCha20 stream cipher, 16 bytes for the encrypted public key's tag generated via the AEAD construction, and 16 bytes for a final authenticating tag.

Sender Actions:

  • c = encryptWithAD(temp_k2, 1, h, s.pub.serializeCompressed())

    • where s is the static public key of the initiator.

  • h = SHA-256(h || c)

  • ss = ECDH(re, s.priv)

    • where re is the ephemeral public key of the responder.

  • ck, temp_k3 = HKDF(ck, ss)

    • Mix the final intermediate shared secret into the running chaining key.

  • t = encryptWithAD(temp_k3, 0, h, zero)

    • where zero is a zero-length plaintext

  • sk, rk = HKDF(ck, zero)

    • where zero is a zero-length plaintext,

      sk is the key to be used by the initiator to encrypt messages to the responder,

      and rk is the key to be used by the initiator to decrypt messages sent by the responder.

    • This step generates the final encryption keys to be used for sending and receiving messages for the duration of the session.

  • rn = 0, sn = 0

    • The sending and receiving nonces are initialized to zero.

  • Send m = 0 || c || t over the network buffer.

Receiver Actions:

  • Read exactly 66-bytes from the network buffer.

  • Parse out the read message (m) into v = m[0], c = m[1:49] and t = m[50:]

  • If v is an unrecognized handshake version, then the responder MUST abort the connection attempt.

  • rs = decryptWithAD(temp_k2, 1, h, c)

    • At this point, the responder has recovered the static public key of the initiator.

  • h = SHA-256(h || c)

  • ss = ECDH(rs, e.priv)

    • where e is the responder's original ephemeral key

  • ck, temp_k3 = HKDF(ck, ss)

  • p = decryptWithAD(temp_k3, 0, h, t)

    • If the MAC check in this operation fails, then the responder MUST terminate the connection without any further messages.

  • rk, sk = HKDF(ck, zero)

    • where zero is a zero-length plaintext,

      rk is the key to be used by the responder to decrypt the messages sent by the initiator,

      and sk is the key to be used by the responder to encrypt messages to the initiator,

    • This step generates the final encryption keys to be used for sending and receiving messages for the duration of the session.

  • rn = 0, sn = 0

    • The sending and receiving nonces are initialized to zero.

Lightning Message Specification

At the conclusion of Act Three both sides have derived the encryption keys which will be used to encrypt/decrypt messages for the remainder of the session.

The actual lightning protocol messages are encapsulated within AEAD ciphertexts. Each message is prefixed with another AEAD ciphertext which encodes the total length of the following lightning message (not counting its MAC).

The maximum size of any lightning message MUST NOT exceed 65535 bytes. A maximum size of 65535 simplifies testing, makes memory management easier and helps mitigate memory exhaustion attacks.

In order to make make traffic analysis more difficult, the length prefix for all encrypted lightning messages is also encrypted. Additionally we add a 16-byte Poly-1305 tag to the encrypted length prefix in order to ensure that the packet length hasn't been modified with in-flight, and also to avoid creating a decryption oracle.

The structure of packets on the wire resembles the following:

+-------------------------------
|2-byte encrypted message length|
+-------------------------------
|  16-byte MAC of the encrypted |
|        message length         |
+-------------------------------
|                               |
|                               |
|     encrypted lightning       |
|            message            |
|                               |
+-------------------------------
|     16-byte MAC of the        |
|      lightning message        |
+-------------------------------

The prefixed message length is encoded as a 2-byte big-endian integer, for a total maximum packet length of 2 + 16 + 65535 + 16 = 65569 bytes.

Encrypting Messages

In order to encrypt a lightning message (m), given a sending key (sk), and a nonce (sn), the following is done:

  • let l = len(m), where len obtains the length in bytes of the lightning message.

  • Serialize l into 2-bytes encoded as a big-endian integer.

  • Encrypt l using ChaChaPoly-1305, sn, and sk to obtain lc (18-bytes)

    • The nonce sn is encoded as a 96-bit little-endian number. As our decoded nonces a 64-bit, we encode the 96-bit nonce as follows: 32-bits of leading zeroes followed by a 64-bit value.
      • The nonce sn MUST be incremented after this step.
    • A zero-length byte slice is to be passed as the AD (associated data).

  • Finally encrypt the message itself (m) using the same procedure used to encrypt the length prefix. Let encrypted ciphertext be known as c.

    • The nonce sn MUST be incremented after this step.

  • Send lc || c over the network buffer.

Decrypting Messages

In order to decrypt the next message in the network stream, the following is done:

  • Read exactly 18-bytes from the network buffer.

  • Let the encrypted length prefix be known as lc

  • Decrypt lc using ChaCha20-Poly1305, rn, and rk to obtain size of the encrypted packet l.

    • A zero-length byte slice is to be passed as the AD (associated data).
    • The nonce rn MUST be incremented after this step.

  • Read exactly l+16 bytes from the network buffer, let the bytes be known as c.

  • Decrypt c using ChaCha20-Poly1305, rn, and rk to obtain decrypted plaintext packet p.

    • The nonce rn MUST be incremented after this step.

Lightning Message Key Rotation

Changing keys regularly and forgetting the previous key is useful for preventing decryption of old messages in the case of later key leakage (ie. backwards secrecy).

Key rotation is performed for each key (sk and rk) _individually _. A key is to be rotated after a party sends or decrypts 1000 messages with it. This can be properly accounted for by rotating the key once the nonce dedicated to it exceeds 1000.

Key rotation for a key k is performed according to the following:

  • Let ck be the chaining key obtained at the end of Act Three.
  • ck', k' = HKDF(ck, k)
  • Reset the nonce for the key to n = 0.
  • k = k'
  • ck = ck'

Security Considerations

It is strongly recommended that existing, commonly-used, validated libraries be used for encryption and decryption, to avoid the many implementation pitfalls possible.

Appendix A: Transport Test Vectors

To make a repeatable handshake, we specify what generateKey() will return (ie. the value for e.priv) for each side. Note that this is a violation of the spec, which requires randomness here.

Initiator Tests

The initiator should produce the given output when fed this input. The comments reflect internal state for debugging.
