| Summary | 0003758: need implementation of SHA-512 | ||||
| Description | Signatures are made over values hashed using SHA-512. Thus, we need a SHA-512 implementation/API/wrapper in the wallet. | ||||

As this is likely one of the first ones we will implement, I'm adding some links on "how to do crypto in Firefox extensions" here. Basically, this (note: from 2012) http://blog.peschla.net/2012/02/public-key-cryptography-in-mozilla-extensions/ says that the standard is to use js-ctypes ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/js-ctypes) to call libnss (mozilla's crypto library, implementing TLS-primitives). The "modern" way is obviously the (2014) Web Cryptography API: http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/, which in principle is great, but I'm not sure FireFox supports Curve25519 _yet_. Still, this may happen "anytime now", so maybe that'll be OK (see also https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25839). In the meantime, I suspect the answer is that we define an internal API, and where possible bind it against the Web Crypto and where not, against JS-implementation. For Curve25519 implementations, see http://ianix.com/pub/curve25519-deployment.html |

Here is another idea: use emscripten to compile libgnunetutil and libtalerutil to JavaScript, and then take all of the basics from there: http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/ Note that this is what amatus is already doing for gnunet-web: https://github.com/amatus/gnunet-web/ I *suspect* his needs for Chrome come from the GNUnet-service architecture (IPC!), so for Taler this should even be sufficiently portable. |
