Thanks Henry.  That looks like path of least resistance.

I hit a stumbling block that took a short while to understand.
The library binary downloaded specified by
ConfigruationOfNacl>>platformLibraryUrl
is  libsodium: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object
whereas I'm using 64bit Linux.

I have the following system library preinstalled...
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsodium.so.18.0.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object

However its api is slightly different.  Pharo Nacl makes this call out...
   crypto_hash_sha512_ref()

but the system library provides...
56: 00014dc0   175 FUNCGLOBAL DEFAULT   11
crypto_hash_sha512_final
81: 00014c40   384 FUNCGLOBAL DEFAULT   11
crypto_hash_sha512_update
   154: 00014bd0   106 FUNCGLOBAL DEFAULT   11
crypto_hash_sha512_init
   233: 00014e70   114 FUNCGLOBAL DEFAULT   11
crypto_hash_sha512
   342: 00012330 6 FUNCGLOBAL DEFAULT   11
crypto_hash_sha512_bytes
   351: 00012340 6 FUNCGLOBAL DEFAULT   11
crypto_hash_sha512_statebytes

The canonical source doesn't seem to have the function
https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=+crypto_hash_sha512_ref
so I'm curious where the "_ref" comes from.

My options seem...
* Compile a 64-bit libsodium from source which includes "_ref" functions.
Where is such source?
* Use the system libsodium and define an FFI callout just for the one
function I need.

Re: [Pharo-users] OSEnvironment issue

2017-12-10 Thread Eno
yes, you are right, it's caused by wrong VM, since by default, my images are
opened by pharo 5 VM, I cann't change to pharo 6.1 anyway without manual
effort. I would easily miss this point while saving to new image and reopen.

BTW, another wierd error occured frequently, nearly everytime, i.e. system
font error while runing IDEs.  
Error message: FT2Error: Freetype2 primitive failed[error 2][unknown file
format] while calling FreeTypeFace>>create. 

The system would halt complete at that point and the debugger window also
failed since they all depended upon the font to show.  

I tried to change the system via Setting Browser, but it was locked due to
the same reason.

Given that SSL is "so last century"   [
https://www.polyglotdeveloper.com/timeline/2015-07-01-ssl-tls-timeline/]
with security issues   [Section 2.2
https://github.com/ssllabs/research/wiki/SSL-and-TLS-Deployment-Best-Practices
]
and latency improvements in upcoming TLS1.3   [
https://www.keycdn.com/blog/tls-1-3]
perhaps this would make a good bounty to be done outside the current
planned work for engineering resources.
There seem several potential resources available  [

Could a plan be made to address TLS?

[Pharo-users] Why do downloads not use HTTPS by default?

2017-12-10 Thread Silent Walls
Today I visited https://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation-64 to download the
zip file containing the executable. To my surprise, the download is not
carried out over HTTPS. The download link is
http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo6.1-64-linux.zip. I ended up
downloading the zip file using
https://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo6.1-64-linux.zip.

The point is: if HTTPS downloads are supported, why is it not the default
on the download pages of the Pharo website?

I find the way the TreeNodeModel (or TreeNodePresenter) is used strange too.
I think it is to tightly bound to the underlaying morphic tree ui.
(seems a TreeNode is only created during morphic interaction).

What I have seen on some other projects (pharo launcher for example). They
are creating a TreeNode when building the root of the tree itself.

tree roots: (something that creates the root "raw nodes") collect:[:item |
build a TreeNode with this content].

But this does not fully work, as for example

tree root last selected:[true] "< really selects the item"

tree root last selectAllChildren "< still does not change the selection of
the nodes in the tree morph."

It depends on what need. If you try to get maximum performance you should try 
without SSL to see the difference and tell us ;)
Be able to use SSL enables easy setups of multiple hosts with a standalone 
application. If you need maximum performance the apllication setup might be 
different. The OS can add encryption transparently and much faster. 
What we use is several machines with a second network card and a private switch 
where they are attached to. So no need to add extra security

SHA512 is not in the Cryptography package, but it would be great to see it 
there, with an appropriate plugin, of course, for performance. I am toying with 
the idea of extending SSL to include TLS 1.3, and that would require SHA512, 
plus it would be great to keep the Cryptography package current. Adding TLS 1.3 
would be a fair amount of work requiring Diffie-Hellman group extensions to 
ephemeral elliptic curves, in addition. I am unsure what symmetric ciphers are 
used by TLS 1.3 also. The advantage is that it is automatically cross-platform, 
even with plugin generation, such that Cryptography could be used on the big 3 
as well as on ARM, Android and iOS. I'll keep dreaming about it.

If you cache and reuse a single ZnClient instance, that is already good. Maybe 
try once without SSL to see how much difference that makes. You could also try

Thanks Sven. Its interesting to trace that through to put other stuff I've
read about HMAC into perspective.
However SHA256 != SHA512 which is a defined requirement of the site I'm
accessing.

What I understand from the trace is that the HMAC is generic regardless of
size of SHA function
and could remain in-Image while the SHA512 part could be supplied from
outside the image.
I could perhaps use the one from the OpenSSL library already included with
Pharo.

$ readelf -a ./pharo-vm/lib/pharo/5.0-201707201942/libssl.so.1.0.0 | grep
512
   EVP_sha512
   SHA512_Init
   SHA512_Update
   SHA512_Transform
   SHA512_Final

where the "EVP function provide a high level interface to OpenSSL
cryptographic functions."
and I guess could be used similar to...
ftp://188.44.46.157/Augustus/blatSrc/lib/hmac.c
except I'm not sure how I'd use proceed without it taking any parameters...

const EVP_MD *EVP_sha512(void);   // include/openssl/evp.h


The lower level functions could be used like...
http://www.askyb.com/cpp/openssl-sha512-hashing-example-in-cpp/

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/OpenSSL_1_1_0-stable/crypto/sha/sha512.c#L264

unsigned char *SHA512(const unsigned char *d, size_t n, unsigned char *md);

int SHA512_Init(SHA512_CTX *c); // include/openssl/sha.h
int SHA512_Update(SHA512_CTX *c, const void *data, size_t len);
int SHA512_Final(unsigned char *md, SHA512_CTX *c);
void SHA512_Transform(SHA512_CTX *c, const unsigned char *data);

Actually the lower level functions look easier from an FFI perspective.


Other options I found...

* http://forum.world.st/How-to-encrypt-a-password-td3933585.html#a3933778
   but it seems to be NativeBoost rather than UFFI, and also is Linux only
(which might not be an issue)

* https://github.com/mygityf/cipher/blob/master/cipher/sha512.h
  https://github.com/mygityf/cipher/blob/master/cipher/sha512.c
  to compile into a (hopefully) cross platform shared library

Re: [Pharo-users] HMAC-SHA512

2017-12-10 Thread henry
Good to have extensions to Cryptography to include SHA-512, along with SHA-384. 
For that matter there seems to be other extensions could be made to 
Cryptography to support the proximate TLS 1.3, see references below for 
algorithms/groups specifiable.  Cryptography would love to be extended for 
these, although OpenSSL should pick up TLS 1.3 for standardized wrapped 
implementation of TLS.

Well Pharo itself of course !

(HMAC on: SHA256)
  key: (ByteArray new: 32);
  digestMessage: #[1 2 3].

SHA256 new hmac
  key: (ByteArray new: 32);
  digestMessage: #[1 2 3].

Can anyone recommend libraries (native Smalltalk or via FFI)
to do generate a HMAC-SHA512 ?

I would hesitate to call where I'm up to right now as blockchain related.
Its just the trading api of one exchange where the items traded happen to
be bitcoins.
But I have a growing interest in blockchains, so thanks for the tip...

I didn't see anything relevant here...  https://github.com/INRIA
but with that product name I found...
