# Message Data-structures ## Directory Block Syncing ### DBState A message containing all blocks within a DirectoryBlock. Originally, all entry data was included, but as the network grew, this information was no longer put into the messages. - first byte is the message type (always 20) - next bytes are the marshalled Directory Block - next bytes are the marshalled Admin Block - next bytes are the marshalled Factoid Block - next bytes are the marshalled Entry Credit Block - next 4 bytes are the number of Entry Blocks following - next bytes are the aforementioned marshalled Entry Blocks - next 4 bytes are the number of Entries following (NOT IN ANYMORE?) - next bytes are all of the Entries, marshalled as: (NOT IN ANYMORE?) - 4 bytes size of the Entry - marshalled Entry itself - next bytes are the number of signatures - next bytes are all of the signature pairs, marhsalled as: - 64 bytes signature - 32 byte public key ### DBState Request A request for missing dbstates. - first byte is the message type (always 21) - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - next 4 bytes are the block height start - next 4 bytes are the block height end ### Block Request An unimplemented message. I assume for requesting single blocks of any type. - first byte is the message type (always 14) - next 6 bytes are a timestamp ## Entry Syncing ### Missing Data Request A request for an entry or entry block. - first byte is the message type (always 17) - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - next 32 bytes are the entry hash or entry block keymr being requested ### Missing Data Response A response to a MissingDataRequest, including the Entry or Entry Block requested. - first byte is the message type (always 18) - second byte is the object type: 0 for Entry, 1 for Entry Block - remaining bytes are the marshalled Entry or Entry Block that was requested ## Missing Messages ### Request - first byte is the message type (always 16) - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - next 32 bytes are the asker hash (?) - next byte is the VM index - next 4 bytes are the directory block height - next 4 bytes are the system height - next 4 bytes are the number of missing message process list heights - next X bytes are a series of 4 byte process list heights - ### Response - first byte is the message type (always 19) - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - TODO... figure out the rest of that code that has no comments ## Transactions ### Factoid Transaction A message holding a Factoid Transaction - first byte is the message type (always 9) - next bytes are the marshalled Factoid Transaction object ### Chain Commit A message holding a ChainCommit object. - first byte is the message type (always 5) - next bytes are the marshalled Chain Commit object - next 64 bytes are the signature - next 32 bytes are the public key ### Entry Commit - first byte is the message type (always 6) - next bytes are the marshalled Entry Commit object - next 64 bytes are the signature - next 32 bytes are the public key ### Entry Reveal A message holding an Entry object to be revealed (can reveal a Chain as well) - first byte is the message type (always 13) - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - next bytes are the marshalled Entry itself ## Server Management ### Add Server Add the identity as a Federated or Audit server - first byte is the message type (always 22) - next 6 bytes are a timestamp - next 32 bytes are the server's identity chain id - next byte is the server type (0 == Federated, 1 == Audit) - next 32 bytes are the public key signing this message - next 64 bytes are the signature ### Change Server Key Change the key for the specified server identity - first byte is the message type (always 23) - next 6 bytes are a timestamp - next 32 bytes are the server's identity chain id - next byte is Admin Block Change - next byte is the key type - next byte is the key priority - next 32 bytes are the new public key for the identity - next 32 bytes are the public key signing this message - next 64 bytes are the signature ### Remove Server Remove the identity as a Federated or Audit server - first byte is the message type (always 24) - next 6 bytes are a timestamp - next 32 bytes are the server's identity chain id - next byte is the server type (0 == Federated, 1 == Audit) - next 32 bytes are the public key signing this message - next 64 bytes are the signature ## Heartbeat - first byte is the message type (always 10) - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - next 4 bytes are a secret number - next 4 bytes are the directory block height - next 32 bytes are the directory block hash - next 32 bytes are the server's identity chain id - next 32 bytes are the signing public key - next 64 bytes are the signature ## Block Seals ### End of Minute - first byte is the message type (always 10) - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - next 32 bytes are the server's identity chain id - next byte is the minute number - next byte is the vm index - next byte is the factoid vm index - next 4 bytes are the directory block height - next 4 bytes are the system height - next 32 bytes are the system hash - next byte is unknown.. but if its greater than 0, then the pubkey + signature must be next - next 32 bytes are the signing public key - next 64 bytes are the signature ### Directory Block Signature - first byte is the message type (always 7) - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - next 4 bytes are the system height - next 32 bytes are the system hash - next 4 bytes are the directory block height - next byte is the vm index - next bytes are the marshalled directory block header - next 32 bytes are the server's identity chain id - next 32 bytes are the header signing public key (actual dbsig, goes in next adminblock) - next 64 bytes are the header signature (actual dbsig, goes in next adminblock) - next 32 bytes are the signing public key - next 64 bytes are the signature ## Ack - first byte is the message type (always 1) - next byte is the vm index - next 6 bytes are the timestamp - next 8 bytes are the salt - next 4 bytes are the salt number - next 32 bytes are the message hash being acknowledged - next 32 bytes are the full message hash - next 32 bytes are the leader chain id - next 4 bytes are the directory block height - next 4 bytes are the process list height TODO: is this actually the process list height? - next byte is the minute - next 32 bytes are the serial hash - next varint bytes are the data area size - next X bytes are the data area: - TODO: unmarshal the data area in Ack message - next 32 bytes are the public key - next 64 bytes are the signature
