* Call perform_initial_authentication instead of register in clients * Refactor the register/authenticate functions a bit * Introduce Bandwidth request type * Add encryption layer to cred * Remove cred pass and check from handshake * Replaced unreachable! with error * Changed decrypt_tagged signature to not take mutable ownership of data * Put handle_bandwidth work inside a function * Add check before unwrap * Remove unnecessary async * Decouple bandwidth credential from authentication * Use new_error for ServerResponse:Error * Send a fresh IV each time the BandwidthCredential request is sent * Remove unwrap of bincode::serialize * Add comment regarding Bandwidth response * Remove _mut from naming * Leave Debug trait alone, as the initial error doesn't reproduce anymore * Pass iv as Vec<u8> instead of base58 string * Renamed AuthenticationIV to IV, as it is now used for more the just authentication * Did some IV refactorization
The Nym Privacy Platform
This repository contains the Nym mixnet.
The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level executable binary crates include:
- nym-mixnode - shuffles Sphinx packets together to provide privacy against network-level attackers.
- nym-client - an executable which you can build into your own applications. Use it for interacting with Nym nodes.
- nym-socks5-client - a Socks5 proxy you can run on your machine, and use with existing applications
- nym-gateway - acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages, removing the need for directly delivery to potentially offline or firewalled devices.
- nym-network-monitor - sends packets through the full system to check that they are working as expected, and stores node uptime histories as the basis of a rewards system ("mixmining" or "proof-of-mixing").
- nym-explorer - a (projected) block explorer and (existing) mixnet viewer.
Building
Platform build instructions are available on our docs site.
Developing
There's a .env.sample-dev file provided which you can rename to .env if you want convenient logging, backtrace, or other environment variables pre-set. The .env file is ignored so you don't need to worry about checking it in.
