< p > The proposed new messages < tt class = "docutils literal" > get< / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > put< / tt > are similar to the existing
< tt class = "docutils literal" > get_peers< / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > announce_peer< / tt > .< / p >
< p > Responses to < tt class = "docutils literal" > get< / tt > should always include < tt class = "docutils literal" > nodes< / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > nodes6< / tt > . Those

include a write token, < tt class = "docutils literal" > token< / tt > , with the same semantics as int < tt class = "docutils literal" > get_peers< / tt > .
The write token MAY be tied specifically to the key which < tt class = "docutils literal" > get< / tt > requested.
i.e. the < tt class = "docutils literal" > token< / tt > can only be used to store values under that one key. It may
also be tied to the node ID and IP address of the requesting node.< / p >
< p > The < tt class = "docutils literal" > id< / tt > field in these messages has the same semantics as the standard DHT
messages, i.e. the node ID of the node sending the message, to maintain the
structure of the DHT network.< / p >
< p > The < tt class = "docutils literal" > token< / tt > field also has the same semantics as the standard DHT message
< tt class = "docutils literal" > get_peers< / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > announce_peer< / tt > , when requesting an item and to write an
item respectively.< / p >
2014-04-06 21:11:24 +02:00
< p > The < tt class = "docutils literal" > k< / tt > field is the 32 byte ed25519 public key, which the signature can be
2013-12-31 17:59:47 +01:00
authenticated with. When looking up a mutable item, the < tt class = "docutils literal" > target< / tt > field MUST be
the SHA-1 hash of this key concatenated with the < tt class = "docutils literal" > salt< / tt > , if present.< / p >
< p > The distinction between storing mutable and immutable items is the inclusion of
a public key, a sequence number, signature and an optional salt (< tt class = "docutils literal" > k< / tt > , < tt class = "docutils literal" > seq< / tt > ,
< tt class = "docutils literal" > sig< / tt > and < tt class = "docutils literal" > salt< / tt > ).< / p >
< p > < tt class = "docutils literal" > get< / tt > requests for mutable items and immutable items cannot be distinguished
from eachother. An implementation can either store mutable and immutable items
in the same hash table internally, or in separate ones and potentially do two
lookups for < tt class = "docutils literal" > get< / tt > requests.< / p >
< p > The < tt class = "docutils literal" > v< / tt > field is the < em > value< / em > to be stored. It is allowed to be any bencoded
type (list, dict, string or integer). When it's being hashed (for verifying its
signature or to calculate its key), its flattened, bencoded, form is used. It is
important to use the verbatim bencoded representation as it appeared in the
message. decoding and then re-encoding bencoded structures is not necessarily an
identity operation.< / p >
< p > Storing nodes MAY reject < tt class = "docutils literal" > put< / tt > requests where the bencoded form of < tt class = "docutils literal" > v< / tt > is
longer than 1000 bytes. In other words, it's not safe to assume storing more
than 1000 bytes will succeed.< / p >

an optional < tt class = "docutils literal" > salt< / tt > can be specified in the < tt class = "docutils literal" > put< / tt > request of mutable items.
If the salt entry is not present, it can be assumed to be an empty string, and
its semantics should be identical as specifying a salt key with an empty string.
The salt can be any binary string (but probably most conveniently a hash of
something). This string is appended to the key, as specified in the < tt class = "docutils literal" > k< / tt > field,
when calculating the key to store the blob under (i.e. the key < tt class = "docutils literal" > get< / tt > requests
specify to retrieve this data).< / p >
< p > This lets a single entity, with a single key, publish any number of unrelated
items, with a single key that readers can verify. This is useful if the

published blobs.< / p >

< p > Note that the salt is not returned in the response to a < tt class = "docutils literal" > get< / tt > request. This
is intentional. When issuing a < tt class = "docutils literal" > get< / tt > request for an item is expected to
know what the salt is (because it is part of what the target ID that is being
looked up is derived from). There is no need to repeat it back for bystanders

sequence number 1 of value " Hello World!" would be converted to:
" 3:seqi1e1:v12:Hello World!" . In this way it is not possible to convince a
node that part of the length is actually part of the sequence number even if
the parser contains certain bugs. Furthermore it is not possible to have a
verification failure if a bencoding serializer alters the order of entries in
the dictionary. The salt is in parenthesis because it is optional. It is only
prepended if a non-empty salt is specified in the < tt class = "docutils literal" > put< / tt > request.< / li >
