irmd: Fix memleak in reg tests

2026-02-22T15:06:49+00:00

Call freebuf(pbuf) before returning from each test thread function. Since clrbuf zeroes pbuf.data to NULL on the success path, free(NULL) is safe. On the failure path of reg_respond_*, it now properly frees the still-allocated data. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

irmd: Allow direct rbuff between local processes

2026-02-22T15:02:16+00:00

This allows bypassing the IPCP for local processes that share the same packet pool, lowering latency between processes to comparable levels as Unix sockets (RTT in the order of a microsecond). For local processes, no IPCPs are needed: $ irm b prog oping n oping $ oping -l Ouroboros ping server started. New flow 64. Received 64 bytes on fd 64. The direct IPC can be disabled with the DISABLE_DIRECT_IPC build flag. Note that this is needed for rumba 'local' experiments to emulate network topologies. Without this flag all processes will just communicate directly. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Add struct llist for lists tracking len

2026-02-18T06:58:21+00:00

The DHT uses a struct {struct list_head, size_t len} pattern, which is also useful in the registry and other places. Having a struct llist (defined in list.h) with consistent macros for addition/deletion etc removes a lot of duplication and boilerplate and reduces the risk of inconsistent updates. The list management is now a macro-only implementation. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Add per-user packet pools

2026-02-13T08:22:28+00:00

The IRMd will now check the user UID and GID for privileged access, avoiding unprivileged users being able to disrupt all IPC (e.g. by shm_open the single pool and corrupting its metadata). Non-privileged users are now limited to a PUP (per-user pool) for sending/receiving packets. It is still created by the IRMd, but owned by the user (uid) with 600 permissions. It does not add additional copies for local IPC between their own processes (i.e. over the local IPCP), but packets between processes owned by a different user or destined over the network (other IPCPs) will incur a copy when crossing the PUP / PUP or the PUP / GSPP boundary. Privileged users and users in the ouroboros group still have direct access to the GSPP (globally shared private pool) for packet transfer that will avoid additional copies when processing packets between processes owned by different users and to the network. This aligns the security model with UNIX trust domains defined by UID and GID by leveraging file permission on the pools in shared memory. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Source Pool │ Dest Pool │ Operation │ Copies │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ GSPP │ GSPP │ Zero-copy │ 0 │ │ PUP.uid │ PUP.uid │ Zero-copy │ 0 │ │ PUP.uid1 │ PUP.uid2 │ memcpy() │ 1 │ │ PUP.uid │ GSPP │ memcpy() │ 1 │ │ GSPP │ PUP.uid │ memcpy() │ 1 │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ This also renames the struct ai ("application instance") in dev.c to struct proc (process).

irmd: Fix cleanup on timeouts after reg_tests

irmd: Fix registry tests

2026-01-23T07:22:58+00:00

Noticed a test fail with SEGV on codeberg: 23/23 Test #23: irmd/reg/reg_test ................ Subprocess aborted***Exception: 1.11 sec Wait accept did not return a flow id: -110. test_wait_accepting_success failed. Root cause was a missing unbind_process call in the cleanup. The test can now wait for 10 seconds, and will take less on fast systems: 23/23 Test #23: irmd/reg/reg_test ................ Passed 0.01 sec The test_wait_ipcp_boot_fail was also wrong, a failed IPCP returns/sets state to IPCP_NULL. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Add post-quantum cryptography support

2026-01-19T07:29:29+00:00

This adds initial support for runtime-configurable encryption and post-quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs) and authentication (ML-DSA). Supported key exchange algorithms: ECDH: prime256v1, secp384r1, secp521r1, X25519, X448 Finite Field DH: ffdhe2048, ffdhe3072, ffdhe4096 ML-KEM (FIPS 203): ML-KEM-512, ML-KEM-768, ML-KEM-1024 Hybrid KEMs: X25519MLKEM768, X448MLKEM1024 Supported ciphers: AEAD: aes-128-gcm, aes-192-gcm, aes-256-gcm, chacha20-poly1305 CTR: aes-128-ctr, aes-192-ctr, aes-256-ctr Supported HKDFs: sha256, sha384, sha512, sha3-256, sha3-384, sha3-512, blake2b512, blake2s256 Supported Digests for DSA: sha256, sha384, sha512, sha3-256, sha3-384, sha3-512, blake2b512, blake2s256 PQC support requires OpenSSL 3.4.0+ and is detected automatically via CMake. A DISABLE_PQC option allows building without PQC even when available. KEMs differ from traditional DH in that they require asymmetric roles: one party encapsulates to the other's public key. This creates a coordination problem during simultaneous reconnection attempts. The kem_mode configuration parameter resolves this by pre-assigning roles: kem_mode=server # Server encapsulates (1-RTT, full forward secrecy) kem_mode=client # Client encapsulates (0-RTT, cached server key) The enc.conf file format supports: kex= # Key exchange algorithm cipher= # Symmetric cipher kdf= # Key derivation function digest= # Digest for DSA kem_mode= # Server (default) or client none # Disable encryption The OAP protocol is extended to negotiate algorithms and exchange KEX data. All KEX messages are signed using existing authentication infrastructure for integrity and replay protection. Tests are split into base and _pqc variants to handle conditional PQC compilation (kex_test.c/kex_test_pqc.c, oap_test.c/oap_test_pqc.c). Bumped minimum required OpenSSL version for encryption to 3.0 (required for HKDF API). 1.1.1 is long time EOL. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders

lib: Move encryption control from QoS to name

2025-09-10T06:21:58+00:00

This removes the flow encryption option (cypher_s) from the qosspec. The configuration file is configured in the security options (default /etc/ouroboros/security/). For this poc, encryption can be disabled client or server side by putting an enc.cfg file. If that file is present in the client folder, the client will require encryption. If that file is present on the server side, the server will require encryption and reject non-encrypted flows. Encryption is now configured outside of any application control. Example: /etc/ouroboros/security/client/oping/enc.cfg exists: irmd(II): Encryption enabled for oping. irmd(DB): File /etc/ouroboros/security/client/oping/crt.pem does not exist. irmd(II): No security info for oping. irmd(DB): Generated ephemeral keys for 87474. irmd/oap(PP): OAP_HDR [caf203681d997941 @ 2025-09-02 17:08:05 (UTC) ] --> irmd/oap(PP): Certificate: irmd/oap(PP): Ephemeral Public Key: [91 bytes] irmd/oap(PP): Data: irmd/oap(PP): Signature: Example: /etc/ouroboros/security/client/oping/enc.cfg does not exist: irmd(II): Allocating flow for 87506 to oping. irmd(DB): File /etc/ouroboros/security/client/oping/enc.cfg does not exist. irmd(DB): File /etc/ouroboros/security/client/oping/crt.pem does not exist. irmd(II): No security info for oping. irmd/oap(PP): OAP_HDR [e84bb9d7c3d9c002 @ 2025-09-02 17:08:30 (UTC) ] --> irmd/oap(PP): Certificate: irmd/oap(PP): Ephemeral Public Key: irmd/oap(PP): Data: irmd/oap(PP): Signature: Example: /etc/ouroboros/security/server/oping/enc.cfg exists: irmd(II): Flow request arrived for oping. irmd(DB): IPCP 88112 accepting flow 7 for oping. irmd(II): Encryption enabled for oping. irmd(DB): File /etc/ouroboros/security/server/oping/crt.pem does not exist. irmd(II): No security info for oping. irmd/oap(PP): OAP_HDR [3c717b3f31dff8df @ 2025-09-02 17:13:06 (UTC) ] <-- irmd/oap(PP): Certificate: irmd/oap(PP): Ephemeral Public Key: irmd/oap(PP): Data: irmd/oap(PP): Signature: irmd(WW): Encryption required but no key provided. The server side will pass the ECRYPT to the client: $ oping -l Ouroboros ping server started. Failed to accept flow: -1008 $ oping -n oping -c 1 Failed to allocate flow: -1008. Encryption on flows can now be changed at runtime without needing to touch/reconfigure/restart the process. Note: The ECRYPT result is passed on via the flow allocator responses through the IPCP (discovered/fixed some endianness issues), but the reason for rejecting the flow can be considered N+1 information... We may move that information up into the OAP header at some point. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Staessens Signed-off-by: Sander Vrijders
