Currently, channel balances may be rather easily discovered through
probing. This however poses a privacy risk, since the analysis of
balance changes over adjacent channels could in the worst case empower an adversary to
mount an end-to-end deanonymization attack, i.e., track who payed whom.
The penalty added here is applied so we prefer nodes with a smaller `htlc_maximum_msat`, which makes
balance discovery attacks harder to execute. As this improves privacy network-wide, we
treat such nodes preferentially and hence create an incentive to restrict
`htlc_maximum_msat`.
When we receive a `channel_reestablish` with a `data_loss_protect`
that proves we're running with a stale state, instead of
force-closing the channel, we immediately panic. This lines up with
our refusal to run if we find a `ChannelMonitor` which is stale
compared to our `ChannelManager` during `ChannelManager`
deserialization. Ultimately both are an indication of the same
thing - that the API requirements on `chain::Watch` were violated.
In the "running with outdated state but ChannelMonitor(s) and
ChannelManager lined up" case specifically its likely we're running
off of an old backup, in which case connecting to peers with
channels still live is explicitly dangerous. That said, because
this could be an operator error that is correctable, panicing
instead of force-closing may allow for normal operation again in
the future (cc #1207).
In any case, we provide instructions in the panic message for how
to force-close channels prior to peer connection, as well as a note
on how to broadcast the latest state if users are willing to take
the risk.
Note that this is still somewhat unsafe until we resolve#1563.
If a user restores from a backup that they know is stale, they'd
like to force-close all of their channels (or at least the ones
they know are stale) *without* broadcasting the latest state,
asking their peers to do so instead. This simply adds methods to do
so, renaming the existing `force_close_channel` and
`force_close_all_channels` methods to disambiguate further.
Users may want to - for whatever reasons - prevent payments to be routed
over certain nodes. This change therefore allows to add `NodeId`s to a
list of banned nodes, which then will be avoided during path finding.
In the upcoming onion messages PR, this will allow us to avoid decrypting onion
message encrypted data in an intermediate Vec before decoding it. Instead we
decrypt and decode it at the same time using this new ChaChaPolyReadAdapter object.
In doing so, we need to adapt the decode_tlv_stream macro such that it will
decode a LengthReadableArgs, which is a new trait as well. This trait is
necessary because ChaChaPoly needs to know the total length ahead of time to
separate out the tag at the end.
In the upcoming onion messages PR, this will allow us to avoid encoding onion
message encrypted data into an intermediate Vec before encrypting it. Instead
we encode and encrypt at the same time using this new ChaChaPolyWriteAdapter object.
When we see a counterparty revoked commitment transaction on-chain
we shouldn't immediately queue up HTLCs present in it for
resolution until we have spent the HTLC outputs in some kind of
claim transaction.
In order to do so, we first have to change the
`fail_unbroadcast_htlcs!()` call to provide it with the HTLCs which
are present in the (revoked) commitment transaction which was
broadcast. However, this is not sufficient - because all of those
HTLCs had their `HTLCSource` removed when the commitment
transaction was revoked, we also have to update
`fail_unbroadcast_htlcs` to check the payment hash and amount when
the `HTLCSource` is `None`.
Somewhat surprisingly, several tests actually explicitly tested for
the old behavior, which required amending to pass with the new
changes.
Finally, this adds a debug assertion when writing `ChannelMonitor`s
to ensure `HTLCSource`s do not leak.
This is mostly motivated by the fact that payments may happen while the
latest `ChannelUpdate` indicating our new `ChannelConfig` is still
propagating throughout the network. By temporarily allowing the previous
config, we can help reduce payment failures across the network.
We do this to prevent payment failures while the `ChannelUpdate` for the
new `ChannelConfig` still propagates throughout the network. In a follow
up commit, we'll honor forwarding HTLCs that were constructed based on
either the previous or current `ChannelConfig`.
To handle expiration (when we should stop allowing the previous config),
we rely on the ChannelManager's `timer_tick_occurred` method. After
enough ticks, the previous config is cleared from memory, and only the
current config applies moving forward.
A new `update_channel_config` method is exposed on the `ChannelManger`
to update the `ChannelConfig` for a set of channels atomically. New
`ChannelUpdate` events are generated for each eligible channel.
Note that as currently implemented, a buggy and/or
auto-policy-management client could spam the network with updates as
there is no rate-limiting in place. This could already be done with
`broadcast_node_announcement`, though users are less inclined to update
that as frequently as its data is mostly static.
As we prepare to expose an API to update a channel's ChannelConfig,
we'll also want to expose this struct to consumers such that they have
insights into the current ChannelConfig applied for each channel.
Provide a wrapper struct for 32-byte node aliases, which implements
Display for printing. Support the UTF-8 character encoding, but replace
control characters and terminate at the first null character. Fall back
to ASCII if the byte sequence is an invalid encoding.
Previously, while processing a confirmed revoked counterparty
commitment transaction, we'd populate `OnchainEvent`s for live
HTLCs with a `txid` source of the txid of the latest counterparty
commitment transactions, not the confirmed revoked one. This meant
that, if the user is using `transaction_unconfirmed` to notify us
of reorg information, we'd end up not removing the entry if the
revoked commitment transaction was reorg'd out. This would
ultimately cause us to spuriously resolve the HTLC(s) as the chain
advanced, even though we were doing so based on a now-reorged-out
transaction.
Luckily the fix is simple - set the correct txid in the
`OnchainEventEntry`. We also take this opportunity to update
logging in a few places with the txid of the transaction causing an
event.
If the funding transaction is timelocked beyond the next block of
our best known chain tip, return an APIError instead of silently
failing at broadcast attempt.
ChannelConfig now has its static fields removed. We introduce a new
LegacyChannelConfig struct that maintains the serialization as
previously defined by ChannelConfig to remain backwards compatible with
clients running 0.0.107 and earlier.
As like the previous commit, `commit_upfront_shutdown_pubkey` is another
static field that cannot change after the initial channel handshake. We
therefore move it out from its existing place in `ChannelConfig`.
In the near future, we plan to allow users to update their
`ChannelConfig` after the initial channel handshake. In order to reuse
the same struct and expose it to users, we opt to move out all static
fields that cannot be updated after the initial channel handshake.
Instead of implementing EventHandler for P2PGossipSync, implement it on
NetworkGraph. This allows RapidGossipSync to handle events, too, by
delegating to its NetworkGraph.
P2PGossipSync logs before delegating to NetworkGraph in its
EventHandler. In order to share this handling with RapidGossipSync,
NetworkGraph needs to take a logger so that it can implement
EventHandler instead.
P2PGossipSync has a Secp256k1 context field, which it only uses to pass
to NetworkGraph methods. Move the field to NetworkGraph so other callers
don't need to pass in a Secp256k1 context.
