Signal Protocol React Native

A fork of AidenRourke's signal-protocol

npm install signal-protocol-react-native

VERY IMPORTANT

First, install react-native-get-random-values, react-native-securerandom, isomorphic-webcrypto.

npm install isomorphic-webcrypto react-native-getrandom-values react-native-securerandom

Setup

VERY IMPORTANT: In your project's root index.js file, import react-native-get-random-values, and react-native-securerandom. This allows your app to asynchronously load required modules to check secure key generation status.

import {AppRegistry} from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import {name as appName} from './app.json';

// START INSERT
import 'react-native-get-random-values';
import 'react-native-securerandom';
// END INSERT

/// ...
AppRegistry.registerRootComponent(appName, () => App);

Usage:

import signal from 'signal-protocol-react-native';

const KeyHelper = signal.KeyHelper;

// CODE

var KeyHelper = signal.KeyHelper;

function generateIdentity(store) {
    return Promise.all([
        KeyHelper.generateIdentityKeyPair(),
        KeyHelper.generateRegistrationId(),
    ]).then(function(result) {
        store.put('identityKey', result[0]);
        store.put('registrationId', result[1]);
    });
}

function generatePreKeyBundle(store, preKeyId, signedPreKeyId) {
    return Promise.all([
        store.getIdentityKeyPair(),
        store.getLocalRegistrationId()
    ]).then(function(result) {
        var identity = result[0];
        var registrationId = result[1];

        return Promise.all([
            KeyHelper.generatePreKey(preKeyId),
            KeyHelper.generateSignedPreKey(identity, signedPreKeyId),
        ]).then(function(keys) {
            var preKey = keys[0]
            var signedPreKey = keys[1];

            store.storePreKey(preKeyId, preKey.keyPair);
            store.storeSignedPreKey(signedPreKeyId, signedPreKey.keyPair);

            return {

                },
                signedPreKey: {

                    publicKey : signedPreKey.keyPair.pubKey,
                    signature : signedPreKey.signature
                }
            };
        });
    });
}

var ALICE_ADDRESS = new signal.SignalProtocolAddress("xxxxxxxxx", 1);
var BOB_ADDRESS   = new signal.SignalProtocolAddress("yyyyyyyyyyyyy", 1);

    var aliceStore = new signal.SignalProtocolStore();

    var bobStore = new signal.SignalProtocolStore();
    var bobPreKeyId = 1337;
    var bobSignedKeyId = 1;

    var Curve = signal.Curve;

        Promise.all([
            generateIdentity(aliceStore),
            generateIdentity(bobStore),
        ]).then(function() {
            return generatePreKeyBundle(bobStore, bobPreKeyId, bobSignedKeyId);
        }).then(function(preKeyBundle) {
            var builder = new signal.SessionBuilder(aliceStore, BOB_ADDRESS);
            return builder.processPreKey(preKeyBundle).then(function() {

              var originalMessage = util.toArrayBuffer("my message ......");
              var aliceSessionCipher = new signal.SessionCipher(aliceStore, BOB_ADDRESS);
              var bobSessionCipher = new signal.SessionCipher(bobStore, ALICE_ADDRESS);

              aliceSessionCipher.encrypt(originalMessage).then(function(ciphertext) {

                  // check for ciphertext.type to be 3 which includes the PREKEY_BUNDLE
                  return bobSessionCipher.decryptPreKeyWhisperMessage(ciphertext.body, 'binary');

              }).then(function(plaintext) {

                  alert(plaintext);

              });

              bobSessionCipher.encrypt(originalMessage).then(function(ciphertext) {

                  return aliceSessionCipher.decryptWhisperMessage(ciphertext.body, 'binary');

              }).then(function(plaintext) {

                  assertEqualArrayBuffers(plaintext, originalMessage);

              });

            });
        });

Generate an identity + PreKeys

This protocol uses a concept called 'PreKeys'. A PreKey is an ECPublicKey and an associated unique ID which are stored together by a server. PreKeys can also be signed.

At install time, clients generate a single signed PreKey, as well as a large list of unsigned PreKeys, and transmit all of them to the server.

Please note that before running any command that involved crypto.getRandomValues you must first call and await KeyHelper.ensureSecure (see isomorphic-webcrypto) for more details.

import signal from 'signal-protocol-react-native';

var KeyHelper = signal.KeyHelper;

var registrationId = KeyHelper.generateRegistrationId();
// Store registrationId somewhere durable and safe.

KeyHelper.generateIdentityKeyPair().then(function(identityKeyPair) {
    // keyPair -> { pubKey: ArrayBuffer, privKey: ArrayBuffer }
    // Store identityKeyPair somewhere durable and safe.
});

KeyHelper.generatePreKey(keyId).then(function(preKey) {
    store.storePreKey(preKey.keyId, preKey.keyPair);
});

KeyHelper.generateSignedPreKey(identityKeyPair, keyId).then(function(signedPreKey) {
    store.storeSignedPreKey(signedPreKey.keyId, signedPreKey.keyPair);
});

// Register preKeys and signedPreKey with the server
