A signed-in change's proof covered only its challenge and the instance,
so whoever could read and change the traffic (an http:// instance, a
TLS-intercepting proxy, TLS broken: what SRP is for) could keep the owner's
proof and code and swap in a new password, a recovery phrase or an
authenticator of their own, or turn a proof made for new recovery codes
into a deletion (the full reading's device medium 1).
SRP's identity now also carries what the proof is for and the digest of
what it sets, which the register works out from the call that brings it,
never from the device: a new password (its digest), a new phrase (its
wrapping and proof key), confirming the first or another authenticator and
removing one (its ID), new recovery codes, calling resets off, deleting;
the sessionless reset of an authenticator its own, apart from signing in.
A proof made for one of them counts for no other. Tests made for each
refusal fail with the binding taken out on both sides.

SRP's identity and the recovery phrase's proof carried the host alone, so
instances on one host under another port, path or scheme could relay each
other's proofs (the full reading's device low 4). Both now carry the base
URL the device addresses, written alike on both sides
(canonicalInstanceUrl: scheme and host in lower case, the port only where
it isn't the scheme's own, the path ending in /); the register takes its
own public scheme, host and port (Serverpod serves at the root), a member
the URL it names, development anything.
The identity also gains a purpose and the digest of what a proof sets,
both empty so far (signing in), with the framing for a new phrase's and an
authenticator's digest beside the new password's: the owner's proofs bind
them next. Cross-tests hold both sides to the same bytes. OwnerProof's and
DeletionProof's host, and every endpoint's, become instanceUrl.

The full reading's M1 and L6: once GitHub IDs were forgotten at
GITHUB_SIGN_IN_ENDS, an account that had signed in with GitHub alone
counted as anonymous, so a stolen session and any mailbox gave it a first

never pruned. Now:
- at the end, the daily run that forgets the GitHub IDs first deletes the
accounts that sign in with GitHub alone (no address, so never a

unless they set up a password (passwordSectionGitHubEndsDeletes, en/de);

The full reading's H1: an owner could be kept from calling a reset off, and
the reset then went through. Whoever knew the password and had the mailbox
asked an authenticators' reset and kept the codes waiting, so the owner's
sign-ins were refused until it took effect; whoever had the mailbox filled
the address's proofs ceiling from three networks and completed an account
reset. Now every hold-out of the owner after a reset was asked (a wait
that begins, an attempt a wait refuses, a sign-in or proof refused by the
address's ceiling) moves the account's resets not carried out to take
effect no sooner than 72 hours after it ends (pushOutResets). A reset
carried out (the password alone signing in until an authenticator is
confirmed) is never pushed, nor a lapsed one brought back.
Signed-in devices are told too: SignInWays carries when a waiting reset
of each kind takes effect, the account section shows them with Call it

The tenth wrong owner proof in a row ends a session (the third

it (`password.dismissSessionEndedWarning`, their session alone: it

- A sign-up code also gives an existing account with that address its

The fourth reading's second finding: a stolen session outlived the reset
of the authenticators (carrying it out ended no session) and confirmed
the account's first authenticator on its own code alone, ahead of the
owner, so the owner's confirmation and sign-in were refused after.
- Carrying out a reset of the authenticators ends every session of the
account, on the register at once and on every member by notice, as the
other resets do; the sign-in that carries it out gets its session after
that moment (PasswordProof.sessionsEndedBefore, issueSessionAfter).
- Confirming the first authenticator takes the password's proof for a
change's challenge, without a code (proveOwnersPassword), counted per
session as the owner's proofs are: a session of a lost phone, or of a
setup never finished, claims no second factor.
The app sends the password with every confirmation: the sign-up's, a
reset's and the account section's (which asks for it), and a sign-in's
own unlock where the session is still held back.

The fourth reading's first finding: password.set took a session alone,
so whoever took one made a GitHub-only account, or an address account
without a password, theirs for good (their address or password, their
authenticator; GitHub then refused the owner).
- An account with an address proves it anew: a code mailed to that
address for this (EmailCodePurpose.firstPassword, its own mail), never
the session alone, a code asked for anything else, or another address.
- An account that signs in with GitHub alone does it within 10 minutes of
a GitHub sign-in (the session's method and creation time, where the
session lives; members tell the register), refused signInAgain before
any code is used; the address it adds is proved as before.
- Anonymous people still become identified with a code to the address
they add.
The app mails the code to the person's own address (asking for it where
the device doesn't know it), offers a password right after a GitHub
sign-in (D2's "at their next sign-in") before the person's app, and asks
for a GitHub sign-in anew when the instance refuses an older one, keeping
the code typed.

The third reading found a stolen session guessing TOTP codes without end:
nine wrong codes for new recovery codes, then removing an unconfirmed
authenticator of its own, a success that cleared the session's count. As
Proton has it, every signed-in change of how an account is secured now
takes the owner's proof (OwnerProof): the password's SRP proof for a
change's challenge and a TOTP or recovery code. Adding an authenticator
once one is confirmed, removing a confirmed one, new recovery codes, a new
phrase, a new password and deleting take it; only the first authenticator
is confirmed with its own code alone, and removing an unconfirmed one
takes nothing. A proof given where none is taken is refused, and a
confirmed authenticator's code is never checked for a session alone, so
no success passes a proof unchecked.
A session's proofs count for it alone, before they are checked, cleared
only by one accepted; the tenth wrong in a row ends the session. They
never count toward the account's waits nor wait for them, so whoever
knows the password no longer holds a signed-in owner out of changing it
(the second finding), and a new password forgets those waits. Beginning a
change counts nothing against the account (the third finding): 30 an
hour per session, holding back that session alone. Deleting takes a TOTP
code wherever an authenticator is confirmed, a code by mail where no
second factor works (the fourth finding), which SignInWays now tells
(secondFactorWorks). Signed-in calls no longer take the address: nothing
there mails. wrongExistingCode goes, a wrong existing code being a wrong
proof.
The app follows in the next commit.

Codes by mail were tied to nothing but their address (the re-review's

finished, have the person type a code into it, relay it to start the real
instance's account reset, and 72 hours later relay a second to finish it
with its own password and keys; the mail said "to sign in" whatever the
code was for. A code is now asked for a purpose (signUp, finishSetup,
authenticatorReset, accountReset, deletion), only that purpose takes it (any
other is refused as no longer valid, leaving the code as it was), and its
mail says what it would do ("to reset your account on learn.halkyon.eu: a
new password and new keys, and what was encrypted with the old ones is

counted before its code is checked (one statement, so tries sent at once
count each), a code accepted clearing the count, and the tenth wrong in a

A try that checked no code (a refusal of something else) is taken back.

The ceiling of 30 proofs an hour per address was looked at only when a

Anyone who knew an address could spend its whole hour: 10 sign-ins, 5
phrase proofs and 3 codes, each new code voiding the last (the second
reading's M3). Now:

proofs likewise (5), and networks as before (30);
- failed proofs count per address from every network: past 30 an hour
(wrong passwords, phrases' signatures by another key, an address nobody
has alike) no sign-in or proof begins for it anywhere, so guessing from
many networks makes at most 30 guesses an hour, while holding an owner
out takes failing without end from at least three; longer windows
would outlive the hourly pruning of the limits' notes;
- a signed-in change of password begins 10 times an hour per account;
- codes by mail count per address and network (3 an hour), per address
from every network (10, no mailbox flooded) and per network (10), and

- instanceSecret, which lets a service set passwords and delete accounts

Nothing tied a sign-in's proof to the instance it was made for: an
instance a person was lured into adding could pass A, M1 and the code on
to the real register and get a session there, and pass a phrase's proof
on with a password of its own in place of the person's (the second
reading's M6). SRP's identity is now a label, the challenge's ID and
the host the device addressed (passwordIdentity, in halkyon_base_client
and halkyon_base_server alike), and the phrase's proof signs that host,
what it is for (an authenticator's reset or a new password) and the new
password's digest (key proof v2). Every proving call carries the host;
in production it must be the server's apiServer.publicHost (otherwise
otherInstance, which the app shows as an instance it can't trust), in
development any; a member forwards its own. The tests prove that a
relayed sign-in, a proof for another host or purpose, and a swapped
password are refused, nothing changing.

A key proof was a signature by the account's signing key, which every

A sign-in with the password alone, once a reset of the authenticators
took effect, left a reset of the account waiting: whoever read the
owner's mail could ask for one while the owner waited, and carry it out
after the owner was back (the second reading's M2).

password.setRecoveryKeys took a session and a TOTP code alone, so a phone
signed in with its authenticator beside it could set a phrase of its
holder's own and, through the phrase's reset, a new password, never
knowing the old one. It now takes the old password's SRP proof (from
beginChange, the caller's own) and a TOTP or recovery code, as changing
the password does: one owner proof for both (_proveOwner), forwarded by
members, asked for in the account section's New recovery phrase.

ADR 0017, step 3 (D4: nobody signs in with email codes yet, so the
password replaces them outright). `emailCode.verifyCode`,
`emailSignIn.signIn` and the switch token go, with the register's
`verifySignInCode` and `completeEmailSwitch` and their operations
between services. `emailCode.sendCode` stays, now without a session
(signing up and getting back in have none), as what proves an address
for a password's setup, a sign-up, a setup never finished and the
resets; `accountRecovery.sendCode`, which did that for the resets,
goes. The `switchChallengeId` column stays: Serverpod's challenges
still link a completion token, and older servers read it during a
deploy.
The apps: halkyon_app's email sign-in (its bloc, sheet, gateway calls
and the start screen's Continue with email) goes; Learn's profile and
Todo's account sheet show `AccountSecuritySection` (a password set up
by someone anonymous or signing in with GitHub, whose end it names;
the authenticators; changing the password; new recovery codes and
phrase), which reads anew after every change the repository makes.
BREAKING CHANGE: Learn's `minimumAppBuild` is 22: builds up to 21 sign
in with the endpoints that went. Todo was never released and stays at
build 1.

ADR 0017, step 3: halkyon_app's side, which Learn and Todo take.
- The account's cryptography on the device (`SodiumAccountCrypto`):
halkyon_keys and SRP's client half, each step on an isolate of its
own. sodium hands out results as views of native memory its
finalizers free once the isolate that made them ends, so everything
crossing back is copied first: a view read freed memory and crashed
the process.
- `PasswordGateway` on the module's endpoints (steps without a session
through a client holding none; an authenticator set up with a session
granted but not yet the device's), and `PasswordRepository` running
the flows: signing in (M2 checked, the keys opened before anything is
trusted), signing up, a password for someone signed in, an account
never finished, the authenticators, recovery codes, changing the
password, a new recovery phrase, and getting back in.
- The unlocked keys in the system's keyring per instance and person
(`SecureAccountKeyStore`), gone once another person signs in or
nobody, and with the instance's removal.
- The screens: the start screen's Sign in and Create an account (and
when GitHub sign-in ends), the sign-in sheet (codes, recovery codes,
an account never finished, a lost authenticator), the account's setup
(the recovery phrase shown once, three random words typed back before
anything reaches the instance; the authenticator's QR code, drawn
with pub.dev's qr; the recovery codes), getting back in, and the
account section (`AccountSecuritySection`).
- `FileSaver` moves from Learn into halkyon_app, for the phrase and the
codes in Todo too; `AppDependencies` names it and `passwords`.
- halkyon_keys rebuilds account keys from the secret keys a device kept;
the key proof's message is in halkyon_base_client, checked against
the register's.

ADR 0017, D2: GitHub sign-in is deprecated. Where the operator set
`GITHUB_SIGN_IN_ENDS`, `instance.basics()` names the day until it has
come, so apps can tell people who sign in with GitHub to add an
address, a password and an authenticator before then.

ADR 0017, step 3. `password.beginChange` and `password.change` take the
old password's SRP proof and a TOTP or recovery code, and the same keys
wrapped under the new password; a session alone changes nothing, and an
account without a confirmed authenticator is told to set one up first.
`password.setRecoveryKeys` replaces the keys' wrapping under the
recovery phrase for a TOTP code, so a device holding the keys can make
a new phrase.
A change of password ends every other session of the account in every
service of the instance; resets of the password and of the account end
them all. The register ends its own and keeps a notice per member
(`sessions_ended_notice`, a migration that only creates it), told at
once and hourly until it confirms, as deletions are told: it names a
moment, so sessions made since stay, and the session that asked for a
change. A member answering one ends its sessions made before that
moment; a member signing someone in after a reset ends its own first
and makes the new session only once its clock is past the moment.
A reset not due says when it takes effect (`takesEffectAt` on
`PasswordRefusedException`), across members too.

ADR 0017, step 3. Signing up takes an address a mailed code proves and
a password's setup, without a session (`passwordSignIn.signUp`): an
address nobody has becomes a new identified account, and an account
with the address but no password (codes by mail before; no keys exist,
so nothing waits) takes the password, keeping its ID. A setup never
finished signs in with its password and a code mailed to the address it
began with, until an authenticator is confirmed, which also calls off a
reset of the account waiting; any other account takes no code by mail
in place of its second factor and leaves the code unused. A reset of
the whole account waiting no longer counts as having had an
authenticator, so its owner isn't locked out until it completes.
Members forward both through the register; the tests' shared helpers
move into `support/password_support.dart`.

`password.set` replaced a password whenever the account had no confirmed
authenticator, which is also the state an authenticator's or the
account's reset leaves behind; and in that state a code by mail or GitHub
signed in again. So whoever got a session another way could replace the
password and the keys, skipping the reset's 72 hours.
An account had a confirmed authenticator while it has one or a reset of it
stands (`hadConfirmedAuthenticator`: the reset's row stays until a new
authenticator is confirmed). Then `password.set` is refused
(`passwordExists`), and the account signs in with its password alone:
codes by mail and GitHub are refused (`usePassword`), the latter through
`SignInWays.passwordOnly`, which members read from the register.

Enrolling and confirming an authenticator took only a session, so whoever
held one (a stolen token) could add a second factor of their own, then use
its codes to remove the owner's and make new recovery codes.
While the account has a confirmed authenticator, confirming another now
also takes a code from one of those (`existingCode`, each step's code once
as signing in takes it, within the same 10 tries an hour), refused as
`wrongExistingCode`; it is checked only once the new one's code is right,
so a wrong one uses none. The first authenticator, and the first after a
reset carried out, need none. Members forward it to the register.

Every per-network limit counted by the connection's address, which behind
Caddy is Caddy's for everyone: new anonymous accounts, codes by mail and
password sign-ins were each limited for the whole instance.
`networkOf` (now `common/network.dart`) takes the last address of
X-Forwarded-For, the one the proxy saw itself, for a connection from a
proxy the operator trusts (`TRUSTED_PROXIES`, which deploy/compose.yaml
sets to Caddy's fixed address); otherwise, or where that is no address,
the connection's. Never the Forwarded header, which Caddy passes on as
sent, so never Serverpod's `remoteInfo`. A value that isn't addresses
stops the server as it starts.
Serverpod's own limit on anonymous accounts counts by the connection's
address too and can't be told otherwise, so it is off; the anonymous
endpoint counts them itself, 30 an hour per network as before.

The register's side of signing in with an address, a password that never
leaves the device (SRP-6a) and a code from an authenticator (ADR 0017),
with members forwarding every step through AccountRegister:
- password.set: salt, Argon2id's costs, SRP's verifier, the public keys
and the private keys wrapped twice, all made on the device; with the
address a mailed code proves, an anonymous person becomes identified
under their ID. It signs in once an authenticator is confirmed.
- passwordSignIn.begin and complete: SRP's two steps with a TOTP or
recovery code. An address nobody has is answered from a decoy key as
an account would be; every wrong credential is refused alike.
- authenticator: secrets sealed under totpKey (XChaCha20-Poly1305, bound
to their row), each code accepted once, ten recovery codes with the
first, the last one kept.
- accountRecovery: a lost authenticator reset 72 hours after the
password and a mailed code or the recovery phrase ask, a lost password
set anew with the phrase's signature, or the account reset with new
keys 72 hours after a mailed code asks; a mail at each start, a
sign-in calling it off.
- An account with a password no longer signs in by a mailed code or
GitHub; no new GitHub account is linked where passwords are offered,
and from GITHUB_SIGN_IN_ENDS GitHub signs nobody in and its IDs go.

ADR 0017's second factor, in halkyon_base_server (base.dart):
- RFC 6238 with HMAC-SHA1, 6 digits, 30-second steps, one step either
way. checkTotp takes the account's last accepted step as a required
argument and refuses a code of that step or before, so no code is
accepted twice; every step of the window is computed and compared.
- 160-bit secrets in RFC 4648 Base32 (strict decoding); the otpauth
URI with issuer and account escaped.
- Ten recovery codes of eight Crockford characters (short_code.dart),
kept as SHA-256 hashes, each used once, every hash compared in
constant time.
- Tests: RFC 6238 Appendix B (8 digits, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512), the
window, replay, RFC 4648's Base32 vectors, the recovery codes.

ADR 0017's step 1. Generic over group and hash (SrpGroup); production
takes RFC 5054's 3072-bit group with SHA-256. k = H(N | PAD(g)),
u = H(PAD(A) | PAD(B)), K = H(PAD(S)),
M1 = H(H(N) xor H(g) | H(I) | s | PAD(A) | PAD(B) | K),
M2 = H(PAD(A) | M1 | K). A and B must lie in 1..N-1 and u must not be
0; a and b are 256 bits from Random.secure(); proofs are compared in
constant time. x comes from the caller (halkyon_keys makes it); RFC
5054's own x is there for the vectors only.
- The register's half in halkyon_base_server (base.dart: srpChallenge,
srpVerify), the device's written by hand in halkyon_base_client
(srp.dart: SrpClient, srpVerifier). Serverpod's generator cleans and
writes only a client's lib/src/protocol/ (serverpod_cli 4.0.4's
_getDirectoriesRequiringCleaning; a generate leaves srp/ untouched).
- Tests: RFC 5054 Appendix B on both halves; the client against the
register, succeeding and every refusal.
- The module's tests depend on its client, and pub resolves every
member's dev dependencies, so Learn's server image takes the module's
client into its workspace too.
- The format check covers the hand-written half.

halkyon_base runs as the instance's register or as one of its members.
The register keeps the ways in, handles and profiles; members ask it
over HTTP with the instance's shared secret (instanceSecret), and open
sessions of their own for its accounts, under the same account ID.
- AccountsMode from the environment: INSTANCE_MEMBERS on the register,
ACCOUNT_REGISTER_URL on a member. Learn always holds the register
(Explore joins the profiles); Todo is a member where it is set.
- AccountRegister: LocalRegister, RemoteRegister, an in-memory one in
tests. Calls between services on the web server, refused without the
secret (constant-time compare); a server needing it doesn't start
without it.
- Deleting an account deletes it everywhere: notices per member kept in
the deletion's transaction (account_deletion_notice), told at once and
hourly until confirmed; members prune daily whom the register no longer
knows, never while it knows none of them or can't be reached.
- Deploy: INSTANCE_SECRET and INSTANCE_MEMBERS in compose and .env.

People's public profiles are the instance's register's (ADR 0016), so
the module now holds them: the public_profile table (unchanged, so
Learn's migration records versions only; devices get the table empty,
as they hold every module's tables), the profile and profiles
endpoints under `base`, the handle rules, the link checks and the page
at /@handle, whose foot names the app as the host's configuration says
(profilePageNote). Deleting a person deletes their profile in the
module's core.
Hosts read profiles through the module (profileOf, profilesOf,
personWithHandle, fixHandle; saveProfile for their tests), behind an
AccountRegister that is this server's own database for now. Learn's
feedback, discussions and publishing ask it; publishing fixes the
handle just before it writes the release, outside its transaction.
Explore still joins the table in its search, so Learn holds the
register wherever it runs. Learn's app calls the module's endpoints;
a profile not found is ProfileNotFoundException. Todo's database gets
the table too (it was never deployed).
