Canonicalize message on receive
We have a client written in Go that is sending a struct and a signature to a server that uses capnproto-rust
:
interface Publication {
push @0 (tx :Tx, signature :Data);
}
In order to create the signature, we're doing something like this in Go:
func (s *Streamer) sign(tx streamercapnp.Tx) ([]byte, error) {
bytes, err := capnp.Canonicalize(tx.ToPtr().Struct())
if err != nil {
return []byte{}, fmt.Errorf("canonicalize: %s", err)
}
hash := sha256.Sum256(bytes)
signature, err := crypto.Sign(hash[:], s.privateKey)
if err != nil {
return []byte{}, fmt.Errorf("sign: %s", err)
}
return signature, nil
}
Now, on the Rust side we need to verify the signature. My thought was that we'd need to canonicalize Tx
to get the signature payload. I see canonicalize test (https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto-rust/blob/master/capnp/tests/canonicalize.rs), but having a hard time understanding how I can do that in the server's push
implementation. eg,
fn push(
&mut self,
params: publication::PushParams,
mut results: publication::PushResults,
) -> Promise<(), Error> {
let args = pry!(params.get());
let txn = args.get_tx().unwrap();
let sig = args.get_signature().unwrap();
// how to get canonical Tx raw bytes?
Promise::ok(())
}
Thank you!
