Mailrage - Encrypted e-mail storage over Garage

Bayou storage module

Checkpoints are stored in S3 at <path>/checkpoint/<timestamp>. Example:

348 TestMailbox/checkpoint/00000180d77400dc126b16aac546b769
369 TestMailbox/checkpoint/00000180d776e509b68fdc5c376d0abc
357 TestMailbox/checkpoint/00000180d77a7fe68f4f76e3b45aa751

Operations are stored in K2V at PK <path>, SK <timestamp>. Example:

The timestamp of a checkpoint corresponds to the timestamp of the first operation NOT included in the checkpoint. In other words, to reconstruct the final state:

• find timestamp <ts> of last checkpoint
• load checkpoint <ts>
• load and apply all operations starting from <ts>, included

UID index

The UID index is an application of the Bayou storage module used to assign UID numbers to e-mails. See document we sent to NGI for properties on UIDVALIDITY.

Cryptography; key management

Keys that are used:

• master secret key (for indexes)
• curve25519 public/private key pair (for incoming mail)

Keys that are stored in K2V under PK keys:

• public: the public curve25519 key (plain text)
• salt: the 32-byte salt S used to calculate digests that index keys below
• if a password is used, password:<truncated(128bit) argon2 digest of password using salt S>:
  • a 32-byte salt Skey
  • followed a secret box
  • that is encrypted with a strong argon2 digest of the password (using the salt Skey)
  • that contains the master secret key and the curve25519 private key
• if recovery passwords are available, recovery:<truncated digest>: the same as for passwords

Operations:

• Initialize(password):

  • if "salt" or "public" already exist, BAIL
  • generate salt S (32 random bytes)
  • write S at "salt"
  • write("salt", S)
  • generate public, private (curve25519 keypair)
  • generate master (secretbox secret key)
  • calculate digest = argon2_S(password)
  • generate salt Skey (32 random bytes)
  • calculate key = argon2_Skey(password)
  • serialize box_contents = (private, master)
  • seal box blob = seal_key(box_contents)
  • write concat(Skey, blob) at "password:{hex(digest[..16])}"
  • write public at "public"

• Open(password):

  • load S = read("salt")
  • calculate digest = argon2_S(password)
  • load `blob = read("password:{hex(digest[..16])}")
  • set Skey = blob[..32]
  • calculate key = argon2_Skey(password)
  • open secret box box_contents = open_key(blob[32..])
  • retrieve master and private from box_contents
  • retrieve public = read("public")

• ChangePassword(old_password, new_password):

  • load S = read("salt")

  • calculate digest = argon2_S(old_password)

  • load `blob = read("old_password:{hex(digest[..16])}")

  • set Skey = blob[..32]

  • calculate key = argon2_Skey(old_password)

  • open secret box box_contents = open_key(blob[32..])

  • retrieve master and private from box_contents

  • calculate digest_new = argon2_S(new_password)

  • generate salt Skeynew (32 random bytes)

  • calculate key_new = argon2_Skeynew(new_password)

  • serialize box_contents_new = (private, master)

  • seal box blob_new = seal_key_new(box_contents_new)

  • write concat(Skeynew, blob_new) at "new_password:{hex(digest_new[..16])}"

  • delete "old_password:{hex(digest[..16])}"

• ResetPassword(recovery_key, new_password): same as ChangePassword
