Rshare

A file sharing program written in Rust.

ed25519 with SHA2512 is used to provide integrity and AES256GCM with X25519 is used to provide privacy.

download /home/test-two/Downloads/linux-4.11.2.tar.xz 4msKqmNmgAAFKJ33WPq5u-L9mxtsLezEtL7vzYudt931mZvR8YAg0u2M3OE2-xuttw91w0A status 4msKqmNmgAAFKJ33WPq5u-L9mxtsLezEtL7vzYudt931mZvR8YAg0u2M3OE2-xuttw91w0A 3/3 ```

Inner Workings

Creation

What happens when you use the create command:

  1. An ed25519 key pair and a 64 bit nonce are generated.
  2. The number of parts, the public key of the aforementioned key pair, and the aforementioned nonce are encoded into the link.
  3. Rayon is used to iterate over the parts of the file. Each part is appended by the aforementioned nonce and then the part's respective index. This is then hashed with SHA2512 and then signed with the aforementioned key pair.
  4. The result of the previous step is written to the persistent storage as metadata.

Downloading

What happens when you use the download command:

  1. The public signing key and the nonce from the link are added to the current downloads list.
  2. Every 15 seconds keys that don't have a high number of part advertisements are sent to the inputted servers to get more adverts from peers connected to that server.
  3. Every second a random wanted advert is selected to start key exchange. X25519 is used for key agreement and HKDF is used for extraction and expansion of agreed keys, with the link nonce used as the shared info.
  4. The part is encrypted with AES256GCM and the exchanged key by the sending peer and is decrypted by the receiving peer.
  5. The received SHA2512 hash is verified with the public key from the link.
  6. The part's data's integrity is checked with the verified hash.
  7. The part's data and it's metadata is written to disk.
