[tor-dev] Proposal XXX: FlashFlow: A Secure Speed Test for Tor (Parent Proposal)

[teor]

Hi,

Thanks for this proposal!

I'm looking forward to more secure bandwidth measurements on the Tor
network.

Overall, this proposal looks good.

But I'm particularly concerned about any communication between
bandwidth coordinators. Our general principle is that directory
authorities should be independent, and we should minimise their
communication and dependencies. This principle also extends to
bandwidth authorities.

For FlashFlow, here are some specific reasons to avoid bandwidth
coordinator communication:
* it adds complexity to the protocol
* it adds an additional failure mode: failure of coordinator
  communication
  * if the communication is required, this failure mode becomes a
    denial of service vulnerability
  * if the communication is optional, the failure could activate a
    less-tested fallback mode, and change coordinator behaviour
* it adds a class of additional bugs: coordinator miscommunication,
  including race conditions
* it adds a class of additional security vulnerabilities, via
  coordinator communication
* it adds additional coordinator configuration, which must stay
  synchronised. There's two ways to sync config:
  * in the consensus: the coordinator IP addresses are public, or
  * privately: the configs easily get out of sync

There's also some information missing from the proposal, I'll point it
out as part of this review.

Readability note:

"MSM" is a standard abbreviation for "mainstream media".

A standard abbreviation for measurement is "MEAS":

How much of the tor link protocol does the coordinator implement?

Currently, tor requires the following cells:
* VERSIONS
* NETINFO

What are the minimum and maximum valid values for this field?
0..255 ?
1..255 ?

Tor uses a standard ext-type-length-value format for new cell
fields, rather than parsing them based on a version field.

It may still be useful to have a version field for information
purposes. (And to workaround bugs in older versions.) Normally, we'd use
Tor Relay protocol versions, but the coordinators and measurers aren't in
the consensus.

Here's an example of the ext-type-length-value format:

     N_EXTENSIONS     [1 byte]
     N_EXTENSIONS times:
        EXT_FIELD_TYPE [1 byte]
        EXT_FIELD_LEN  [1 byte]
        EXT_FIELD      [EXT_FIELD_LEN bytes]

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/rend-spec-v3.txt#n1518

You'd want an extension in each measurer info, and also one at the end
of the cell, for any new general fields.

Tor already knows how to parse these fields, because they are used for
v3 onion services.

>  - msm_duration  [1 byte]

What are the minimum and maximum valid values for this field?
1..255 ?

Do we want to limit measurements to 4 minutes at a protocol level?

In general, protocols should make invalid states impossible to represent.
But do we want a 4 minute hard limit here?

>  - num_measurers [1 byte]

What are the minimum and maximum valid values for this field?
1..255 ?
1..17 ?

If you're using a standard 509 byte payload, then the practical limits
are:
  * 84 in the original format
  * 50 with link specifiers, extensions, and IPv4 addresses
  * 17 with link specifiers, extensions, IPv4, and IPv6 addresses

>  - measurer_info [num_measurers times]
>    - ipv4_addr   [4 bytes]

What about IPv6 ?
* 30% of tor relays support IPv6
* proposal 311 introduces IPv6 connections between relays, and we're
  implementing it right now
* IPv4 and IPv6 routing can be different, so their bandwidths
  can also be different

Instead of a hard-coded IPv4 field, you could use the IPv4 and
IPv6 link specifiers, which tor already knows how to parse:

       NSPEC      (Number of link specifiers)     [1 byte]
         NSPEC times:
           LSTYPE (Link specifier type)           [1 byte]
           LSLEN  (Link specifier length)         [1 byte]
           LSPEC  (Link specifier)                [LSLEN bytes]

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/tor-spec.txt#n1001

As an example, the v3 onion service spec re-uses link specifiers here:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/rend-spec-v3.txt#n227

>    - num_conns   [2 bytes]

This field should probably go before the link specifiers.

What are the minimum and maximum valid values for this field?
1..65535 ?

Do we really need to allow more than 255 connections?
Most relays can only handle around 10,000 - 20,000 connections.

FlashFlow won't be able to measure relays behind a NAT, if it
authenticates using IP addresses. Relays see the IP address of the NAT
device, rather than the IP address of the remote measurer.

For a similar reason, the DOS defences reduce the number of client
connections to a relay behind a NAT. So we can safely ignore those
relays for the moment.

But it would still be useful to talk about the IP address and NAT issue
in this proposal.

Should we add ext-type-length-value fields to this cell?

For example, the MSM_PARAMS_OK cell could be used to communicate the
relay's recent CPU load and connection load.

> The payload of MSM_ECHO cells:
> 
>  - arbitrary bytes [max to fill up 514 byte cell]

Note:

Link protocol 3 is still supported, so cells can be 512 or 514 bytes:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/tor-spec.txt#n2094

Let's say "PAYLOAD_LEN payload (509 bytes)" instead.

If FlashFlow requires link protocol version 4, let's explain why in
this proposal.

> The payload of MSM_BG cells:

What are the minimum and maximum valid values for this field?
1..msm_duration ?

>  - sent_bg_bytes [4 bytes]
>  - recv_bg_bytes [4 bytes]

What are the minimum and maximum valid values for these fields?

Should we add ext-type-length-value fields to this cell?

For example, the MSM_BG cell could be used to communicate the
relay's current CPU load and connection load.

We don't have strings in any other tor protocol cells.

If you need extensible error information, can I suggest using
ext-type-length-value fields:

     N_EXTENSIONS     [1 byte]
     N_EXTENSIONS times:
        EXT_FIELD_TYPE [1 byte]
        EXT_FIELD_LEN  [1 byte]
        EXT_FIELD      [EXT_FIELD_LEN bytes]

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/rend-spec-v3.txt#n1518

If strings are necessary, please specify a character encoding
(ASCII or UTF-8), and an allowed set of characters.

If we don't whitelist characters, we risk logging terminal escape
sequences, or other arbitrary data.

What happens if the relay never receives a MSM_ECHO cell?

Do MSM_ECHO cells from invalid measurers count?

How much of the tor link protocol does the measurer implement?
Currently, tor requires the following cells:
* VERSIONS
* NETINFO
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/tor-spec.txt#n542

Are MSM_ECHO cells relay cells?
How much of the relay protocol does the measurer implement?

The references to decrypting cells suggest that MSM_ECHO cells are
relay (circuit-level) cells. But earlier sections suggest that they are
link cells.

If they are link cells, what key material is used for decryption?
How do the measurer and relay agree on this key material?

If they are relay cells, do they use the ntor handshake?

To be more precise here, can we say:

"the relay drops all inbound and outbound MSM_ECHO cells from measurers
associated with the completed measurement"

Can we avoid assuming that there is always only one measurement happening
at one time?

Do you mean "a maximum of 10 Mbit/s of measurement traffic" ?

Are these parameters per-coordinator, or network-wide?

How are they kept in sync between the coordinator and measurers?

Recent tor versions go dormant when they haven't built circuits for a
while. There are options that prevent dormancy, but they are only designed
for interactive applications.

Is the FlashFlow coordinator going to use tor to implement the tor link
protocol?

If the coordinator uses tor, then it can use the same tor client instance
that's downloading its consensuses.

Otherwise, you might just be better using a small stem script, and a
download timer.

If you use a timer, you can download each new consensus, shortly after
it is created. (Clients often have consensuses that are 1-2 hours old,
unless specifically configured to fetch from directory authorities.
Even then, they can take up to an hour to download a new consensus.)

What happens if some of these cells is dropped by the relay, due to a
traffic overload?

If these cells are exempt from the [Relay]Bandwidth{Rate,Burst} options,
let's say that in this proposal.

What happens if some of these cells are delayed due to the MSM_ECHO
cells?

How long a delay does the coordinator tolerate?

What if the coordinator doesn't have enough capacity to handle all the
relays on the network? (That is, what if all the slots are full?)

What if the capacity is limited at some other point on the internet?

For example:
* an intermediate transit provider between the measurer and all the chosen
  relays
* the chosen relays are all on the same local network

Online in the consensus, or listening via its ORPort?
(There's a delay of up to 3 hours here, whenever the relay goes up or
down.)

What bandwidth weight does an offline relay get?
sbws has had issues because it drops offline relays.

Seems risky, we've seen Torflow fail in the past, because it filled up
the disk with bandwidth files.

What's the required disk capacity for a few years of bandwidth files?

The command protocol is not specified in this proposal.

For example, does the coordinator send the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of
the relay to the measurers?

Which deployment parameters are sent via the protocol, and which are
hard-coded in configurations?

Yes, please don't depend on internal, unspecified interfaces.

We avoid using tor versions to detect relay features. Instead, we use
subprotocol versions:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/tor-spec.txt#n2041

In the first tor release that supports the medium-term FlashFlow, let's
reserve a "Link" protocol version:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/tor-spec.txt#n2094

If any of the FlashFlow cells are relay cells, let's also reserve a
"Relay" protocol version:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/tor-spec.txt#n2122

(We don't want to pick the exact version numbers yet. Let's wait until
the actual tor release.)

You'll want another new "Link" protocol version for this feature. And
another type of link specifier.

As noted above, communication between BWAuths reduces their independence,
and adds additional risk and complexity in the protocol.

Once-Off Shared Secret Exchange

Here's an alternative protocol, that does not require an additional
shared random implementation:

1. The BWAuths manually exchange a shared secret key (SHARED_SECRET)
   out-of-band
2. Every day, the BWAuths independently derive a shared secret seed for
   the measurement protocol, using a hash function (H), and tor's public
   shared random value (SRV):

      DAILY_SECRET = H(SHARED_SECRET | SRV)

We might also want to use the period number here, like the SRV and onion
service hash ring specs.

The shared secret key should be rotated:
  * each time a new BWAuth is added or removed from the network, and
  * 1 year after the last rotation.

The key rotation can be performed over a few days, because:
* each BWAuth has one of two keys: the new key, or the old key,
* overlaps should be rare in practice,
* when there is an overlap, at most two BWAuths will overlap,
  one from each key,
* overlaps have a low impact for most relays.

It's unclear whether this protocol is interactive or not.

Here's a protocol that is explicitly non-interactive:

1. Measurers are assigned a daily order, based on each coordinator's
   certificate hash, and the current DAILY_SECRET.
2. For each coordinator, in the daily order:
   a. Relays in a chosen consensus choose a slot at random, based on
      the DAILY_SECRET, the relay key, and the iteration number
   c. If another coordinator is already measuring that relay in that
      slot, increase the iteration number, and repeat from a.
   b. If the slot is full for the current coordinator, increase the
      iteration number, and repeat from a.
   d. Otherwise, allocate that relay to that slot, for that
      coordinator.

We might also want to use other shared data here, like the consensus
timestamp.

To make sure all the coordinators have the same consensus, we
should keep a copy of the most recent shared consensus. Here's how
we can select a shared consensus:
  * if we're using a scheduled fetch, a consensus from at least 1 hour
    ago (usually 2300 UTC),
  * if we're using a tor client to fetch, a consensus from at least 3
    hours ago (usually 2100 UTC).

If there isn't a consensus for that time, we should keep the most
recent consensus before that time.

It doesn't actually matter if the consensus is a little out of sync,
most relays will have the same fingerprints, and end up in the same
slots.
