1. Definitions
This section presents the related specifications and standard, the
terms that are used as terms of art within the documents and the
terms used as requirements language.
1.1. Requirements Language
This document is not normative and does not contain requirements
language
1.2. Defined Terms
The terms of art used in this document are described in the Mesh
Architecture Guide [draft-hallambaker-mesh-architecture] .
1.3. Related Specifications
The architecture of the Mathematical Mesh is described in the Mesh
Architecture Guide [draft-hallambaker-mesh-architecture] . The Mesh
documentation set and related specifications are described in this
document.
1.4. Implementation Status
The implementation status of the reference code base is described in
the companion document [draft-hallambaker-mesh-developer] .
2. Getting the Reference Code and Build Tools
The Mesh Reference library was developed using Visual Studio 2017
Community Edition [VS2017] using PHB's Build Tools [PHB2017]
extensions. The reference code itself is currently limited to C#
libraries.
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
The code should in theory run under other operating systems but this
has not been tested recently.
Development under different development environments is also possible
but would require re-engineering to make use of the line mode
versions of the build tools.
2.1. Obtaining the Development Environment
Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition is currently available at no
cost for a wide range of non-commercial development including
personal use and development of Open Source software. For full
details, please consult the license published by Microsoft.
https://www.visualstudio.com/
2.2. Obtaining the Build Tools
Over half the code in the reference code library is generated using
code generators. These are used to ensure that the specification,
examples and reference code are always kept in synchronization.
The build tools are published under an MIT License and are available
in two forms:
As stand-alone tools to be run from the command line.
As a VSIX package that integrates into the Visual Studio environment.
The source distribution is configured to use the tools integrated
into the Visual Studio environment. If development on other
platforms is desired, the simplest approach is likely to be to write
a tool that reads the Visual Studio configuration files and generates
the corresponding files for use with make.
The VSIX package is available from the Visual Studio extensions
gallery:
PHB Code Generation Tools
The source code for the build tools is available from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/phb-build-tools/

Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
2.3. Obtaining the Mesh Source Libraries
The Mesh reference library source code is published under an MIT
license and is available from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mathematicalmesh/
3. Compiling the Reference Code
To compile the code it is necessary to
Create a signing key
Create batch files for pre and post build tasks
3.1. Creating a software signing key
The purpose of signing assemblies is so that they can be
authenticated during the load process. For this to be secure, it is
of course essential that each developer has their own key.
To create a software developer signing key, the Visual Studio 'sn'
tool is used. To run the tool, start the Visual Studio Developer
Console in administrator mode. This requires the following steps:
Move to a directory you want to write to.
Set the machine to create user based keys
Create a new key and write it to a file.
Copy the file from the key to a container.
Delete the container.
Locate the private key file
Give permission to use the key.
This is of course one of the tasks we would like to automate with the
Mesh tools in due course but that presents a bootstrap problem.

3.2. Create (dummy) build action files
Visual Studio allows projects to specify batch files to be run before
and after a project build. Since the actions to be taken are likely
to change from developer to developer, these are specified in
separate batch files. All that is necessary to build the code
without warnings is to specify a set of dummy batch files with the
following names and place them somewhere in the command line $PATH
environment variable.
The files required are:
VSPreBuild.bat
VSPostBuild.bat
VSPostBuildWindows.bat
VSPostBuildOSX.bat
VSPostBuildLinux.bat

Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
The following code will prevent error messages being thrown:
@echo off
SETLOCAL
exit /b 0
4. Running the Reference Code Examples
The reference code examples are designed to illustrate how the Mesh
might be used in an application rather than be standalone tools in
their own right. The Mesh is designed to make it each for developers
to add security to their own applications rather than providing the
applications themselves.
4.1. Starting the Server
On the Windows platform, the server runs in the context of the
platform Web server and must be granted permission to bind to the
range of server addresses used using the netsh command.
From a command prompt with administrator privileges, run the
following command:
netsh http add urlacl http://<domain>/.well-known/mmm/
\user=<machine>\<user>
Where is the DNS domain name under which the service is run, is the
Windows domain name of the machine and the account name.
To start the service from the command line type:
servermesh <domain>
The server does not require administration privileges.
4.2. The Profile Manager Wizard
The profile manager wizard demonstrates functions that are performed
on an administration device. These include creating a completely new
profile and initial configuration of applications, connecting a
device to the profile and recovery of the profile from escrow data.
To run the client from the command line, place the executable image
in a location that it will be found in the PATH variable and type:
meshclient
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
4.3. The Profile Connection Wizard
The Profile connection wizard demonstrates the much more restricted
functionality that would be required in a Mesh connected application
and/or a profile manager for a non-administration device.
To run the client from the command line, place the executable image
in a location that it will be found in the PATH variable and type:
meshconnect
5. Platform specific configuration data
5.1. Windows
5.1.1. Private Key Data
All private key data is stored using the Windows public key store.
At minimum, this ensures that private keys are obfuscated and
encrypted under the account password to protect the data against
casual extraction attacks. On a machine with cryptographic hardware
support such as a TPM or HSM, extraction of the private key may be
infeasible without physical access to the machine and possibly
require sophisticated diagnostic equipment.
5.1.2. Registry settings
Separate settings are used for production and test code. Test Code
should use the Registry Hive:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CryptoMesh
Production code should use the hive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MathematicalMesh
In either case the sub structure is:
Accounts Contains the set of Mesh Portal Accounts for the user. The
default value is the account name of the default account. The
Name of the each key is a portal account name and the value a
REG_SZ entry containing the UDF of the profile master key.
PersonalProfiles Contains the set of Mesh Profiles for the user.
The default value is the UDF of the default profile master key.
The Name of each key is the UDF of the master key and the value a
REG_SZ entry containing the file location of the cached copy of
the personal profile.
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
ThisDevice Contains the set of Device profiles in the same format as
the PersonalProfiles.
5.1.3. Profile data files
The profile data itself is stored in data files at the location
specified in the registry. The files are standard XML files in UTF8
encoding.
5.2. OSX and Linux
[[Not yet implemented, subject to change.]
All configuration information is stored in the user directory ~/.mmm
Keys are stored in SSH key file format [RFC4716] using the customary
name and extension conventions for that application.
6. Using the Mesh C#/.Net Libraries in an Application
The application ExampleGenerator shows the use of the Mesh in an
application using the convenience API. It is the application program
used to generate the examples in the reference document.
ExampleGenerator implements a client that connects to a remote Web
Service, creates new personal profile with an escrow entry with
offline recovery codes, attaches applications and other devices,
updates an application profile, deletes all the profile data from the
local machine and then restores them using the recovery codes and
escrow entry.
6.1. Portals, Sessions and Clients
The libraries are designed to support testing and development use.
For this reason, the client side of the libraries is divided into the
following main classes:
MeshClient Provides a logical connection to a remote or simulated
Mesh service.
MeshPortal Provides the interface to a Mesh service which may be an
actual remote service accessed via a network connection, or local
code running in the same process as the client to simulate a Mesh
service for testing purposes.
MeshMachine Provides an interface to Mesh data stored on the local
machine.
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
MeshSession / PersonalSession Provide the high level application
interface to the Mesh combining access through the MeshClient and
MeshMachine.
The relationship between these parts is shown in . The application
programmer will typically need only the MeshSession class.
The principal classes in the Mesh Client side API.
This division makes it possible to test Mesh clients and server
implementations in a single process with a single debugger which is
usually more convenient than spinning up a separate development
session for the client and service.
6.1.1. MeshSession vs PersonalSession
Most Mesh operations are performed within the context of a specific
PersonalProfile registered on the current machine. This context is
provided by an instance of the PersonalSession class.
An instance of the MeshSession class is used for operations that are
not bound to a specific PersonalProfile registered on the machine.
These operations are:
o Binding a new PersonalProfile to the machine.
o Offline key recovery.
o Requesting and completing a device connection request from the new
device.
o Acquiring a PersonalSession instance.
6.2. Creating a Mesh Session
The primary interface for the application programmer is the
MeshSession class. To create a mesh session class, the following
steps are required:
1. Initialize the Mesh code for the intended platform
2. Request a new MeshSession instance.
Although C# code is nominally 'write once, run anywhere', this
approach does not ensure use of platform specific features such as
the Windows registry or protected storage for cryptographic keys.
Calling MeshWindows.Initialize() causes the platform specific code
for the Windows to be initialized in production mode. Alternatively,
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
calls to MeshLinux.Initialize() or MeshOSX.Initialize() causes the
platform specific code for those platforms to be initialized.
The code to initialize a production instance of the code is shown in
:
static MeshSession MeshSession = null;
static void ApplicationInit () {
MeshWindows.Initialize();
MeshSession = new MeshSession();
}
If the user has already created a PersonalProfile and connected it to
the machine, it will automatically be read from local storage. The
instance will automatically create MeshClient instances as required
to establish a web service using the default transport (HTTP) to the
service as necessary (see ).
Connecting to a remote service from a Windows platform.
The server implementation is managed in the same fashion.
Internally, the MeshService and MeshClient classes are both descended
from the same parent.
6.3. Creating a Mesh Session for Testing
Since the purpose of the ExampleGenerator is to create examples for
the documentation, it is not necessary for the JSON Remote Procedure
Calls to actually be 'Remote'. Instead the 'Local' Procedure Call
mode is used in which the client and server both run in the same
process with the client API invoking the server dispatch methods
through an interface that performs JSON serialization and
deserialization but does not invoke the network transport.
Connecting to a direct service for testing.
A direct connection to the service provider may be established by
either specifying the portal to use in the initialization of
MeshSession or by setting the default portal property of the
MeshPortal class as is done here .
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
static void DebugApplicationInit () {
MeshPortal.Default = new MeshPortalDirect("example.com",
"MeshLog.jlog", "PortalLog.jlog");
MeshWindows.Initialize(true);
MeshSession = new MeshSession();
MeshSession.EraseTest();
}
This time, we initialize a specific version of the platform dependent
code and specify that it is to be initialized as test code rather
than production. This will cause all persistent data stored on the
machine (keys, profiles) to be stored in locations marked as test
locations. The EraseTest() method causes all data stored in test
locations to be erased from the machine, thus ensuring that the test
begins from a known state with no results from previous runs.
When writing test code, it is frequently useful to create multiple
independent MeshSessions to simulate multiple machines. To prevent
data written to one machine interfering with another, a new simulated
machine is created for each session using the MeshMachineCached class
MeshSession = new MeshSession(new MeshMachineCached());
6.4. Checking that a Portal Account name is acceptable
The user experience is improved if the application indicates whether
their choice of portal account name is acceptable or not while they
are entering it. The Validate method allows the user's choice of
account name to be validated .
PersonalProfile PersonalProfile;
PersonalSession PersonalSession;
OfflineEscrowEntry OfflineEscrowEntry;
void DebugCreateProfile () {
var Response = MeshSession.Validate("alice@example.com");
if (!Response.Valid) {
throw new Exception();
}
...
The portal address is given in the usual username@domain format, for
example alice@example.com.
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
6.5. Creating a Personal Profile
Creating a PersonalProfile has two steps:
1. Create a DeviceProfile (if necessary)
2. Create the PersonalProfile
3. Create an account bound to the profile at the portal.
These steps are shown in .
var Device = MeshSession.CreateDevice();
PersonalProfile = new PersonalProfile(
Device.DeviceProfile);
PersonalSession = MeshSession.CreateAccount(
"alice@example.com", PersonalProfile);
The application could have overridden the default values of DeviceID
and DeviceDescription when creating the device.
6.6. Creating an Offline Escrow Entry
Having created a potentially valuable profile, we probably want to
back it up. To do this, we create an instance of the
OfflineEscrowEntry class with the desired quorum and number of shares
(2 out of 4) .
OfflineEscrowEntry = new OfflineEscrowEntry(
PersonalProfile, 2, 4);
PersonalSession.Escrow(OfflineEscrowEntry);
6.7. Deleting Profile Data
We can test our escrow parameters by deleting the profile from the
current machine using the Delete method .
PersonalSession.Delete();
6.8. Recovering Profile Data
Profile recovery has two steps:
1. Reconstruct the shared secret from the recovery shares.
2. Recover the profile.
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
In this case our recovery shares are the first and the third key
shares we just generated. The Recover method recovers the profile
and rebinds it to the existing portal .
var RecoveryShares = new KeyShare[] {
OfflineEscrowEntry.KeyShares[0],
OfflineEscrowEntry.KeyShares[2] };
var Secret = new Secret(RecoveryShares);
PersonalSession = MeshSession.Recover(
Secret, "alice@example.com");
}
6.9. Connecting a New Device
Device connection involves two devices, the device to be connected
and the device used to approve the request.
The new device:
1. Create a device profile for the new device.
2. Request connection to the new device
3. Wait for the result.
These calls are shown .
void RequestConnect (string Address) {
var DeviceRegistration = MeshSession.CreateDevice();
var Connect = MeshSession.Connect(DeviceRegistration,
Address, out var Authenticator);
PersonalSession = Connect.Await();
}
In a real example, we would want to show the connection
authentication code to the user so that they can verify that they are
responding to the right request on the approval device.
On the approval device, the application
1. Requests a list of pending requests using ConnectPending.
2. Accepts or Rejects devices using ConnectClose.
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
void AcceptPending () {
var Pending = PersonalSession.ConnectPending();
foreach (var Request in Pending.Pending) {
var Result = PersonalSession.ConnectClose(Request,
ConnectionStatus.Accepted);
}
}
6.10. Managing Applications
Application profiles are created in the same manner as personal
profiles .
var PasswordProfile = new PasswordProfile(true);
var RegistrationApplication =
RegistrationPersonal.Add(PasswordProfile, false);
Changes to the Application Profile are written to the
RegistrationApplication instance and then committed using the
Update() method.
7. Using other languages
If you are building Mesh applications in another language, the least
effort approach may be to rewrite the PROTOGEN build tool to target
your language.
Protogen does support generation of C header files that may be used
to drive a parser. If however you are adding Mesh support for an
application that already uses JSON based protocols, you might want to
edit the generator scripting files to generate code for your existing
libraries.
7.1. Lightweight API
A lightweight API providing the minimal features required to Mesh
enable an application is required. Such an API should exclude most
account management features:
o Creating new Personal Profiles and portal accounts.
o Key escrow, recovery
o List, accept pending device connection requests
This leaves the following features:
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
o Create Device Profile
o Request device connection
o Get Personal Profile
o Get, Update, Application Profile
In addition to providing less functionality, an implementation of the
lightweight binding is likely to be written in a 'flattened' style
rather than the abstracted, object oriented approach of the reference
code.
8. Implementation Status
This section records the status of known implementations of the
protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC6892] .
The description of implementations in this section is intended to
assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
RFCs. Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
here does not imply endorsement by the IETF. Furthermore, no effort
has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
supplied by IETF contributors. This is not intended as, and must not
be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
features. Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
exist.
According to [RFC6892] , "this will allow reviewers and working
groups to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit
of running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable
experimentation and feedback that have made the implemented protocols
more mature. It is up to the individual working groups to use this
information as they see fit".
8.1. Reference Implementation
Organization: Comodo Group Inc.
Implementer: Phillip Hallam-Baker
Maturity: Experimental Prototype
This implementation was used to produce the reference section and all
the examples in this document. Since the conversion of specification
to code is automatic, there is a high degree of assurance that the
reference implementation is consistent with this document.
Hallam-Baker Expires October 6, 2019 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Mathematical Mesh Developer April 2019
8.1.1. Coverage:
The draft-xx branch describes the code used to create version xx of
this document.
The main current limitations are that the code only supports RSA key
pairs and for ease of development the server does not persist keys
across sessions. Nor does the implementation currently support the
HTTP payload authentication and encryption layer or make use of TLS.
These could be easily fixed.
The client and server are implemented as libraries that may be called
from a multi-protocol server. A standalone server will be provided
in a future release.
Only the JSON encoding is currently implemented. The JSON-B, JSON-C,
ASN.1 and TLS Schema implementations are all supported by the code
generation tool but not currently implemented as the build tool
bindings for those encodings have not yet been finalized or
documented.
The key restrictions for TLS key exchange have not yet been
implemented.
The code has only been tested on Windows 10 but passed compatibility
testing for both Mono and dotNetCore 2.0 run times which should in
theory permit use on Linux and OSX platforms.
8.1.2. Licensing
The code is released under an MIT License
Source code is available from GitHub at

8.1.3. Implementation Experience
The implementation and specification documentation were developed in
Visual Studio using the PHB Build Tools suite.
