[jdev] about GSOC idea on psi( Jingle RTP Encryption)

2010-03-31 Thread yu xue
Hello, everyone

I have looked up the GSOC project idea list, and have interest in several
project ideas about security. The one that I am most interested in is about
Psi---Jingle RTP Encryption.

My name is Yu Xue, and I am a graduate student whose major is information
security and cryptography. When in university, my major is computer science
and technology. I am familiar with C,C++,Python and C#. The project that I
prefer to is security-related.

Currently my understanding about this project is just to implement in SRTP
in Psi, either in avcall module or in a lower module according to the
relationship that SPTP needs with the RTP session.Could some developers
please give me some detailed or instructions on how to better understand
and prepare this project or suggestions on writing proposal.Thank you!

ps:Gajim's Jingle File Transfer interests me too.

Thank you!

Regards
   Yu Xue

I am glad to hear you are interested in those areas - we have plenty
of projects that you could definitely help with :)

If the Psi or Gajim devs do not answer you today I will poke them :)

Have you gotten onto the jdev MUC ?  That is also a great place to ask
in realtime questions about Psi and Gajim.

Hi,

Here s Gajim's point of view: It seems a student is interested in
implementing Jingle FileTransfer in Gajim, and he also seems very
interested in implementing encrypted Jingle session. So that would be
excellent to be able to test between Gajim and Psi!

Now We don't currently know what applications will really be posted,
which one will be accepted, but that could be a nice thing to develop
that on both clients.

I think it would be a great thing to have matching projects for
different clients, doing interop testing along the way.

Excellent idea! These teams could also test with Pidgin and Empathy.

Psi's Jingle voice calling support spans three modules:

  psimedia: Small wrapper to the GStreamer library.  It handles multimedia 
device access and device selection, codecs, and RTP processing.  It does not 
directly access the network.  It is the application's responsibility to 
obtain RTP packets from the network and feed them to psimedia.  Likewise, RTP 
packets produced by psimedia must be sent over the network by the 
application.

  iris: This library provides XMPP and ICE functionality.

  avcall: This is part of Psi itself and contains two subparts:

jinglertp: Implements XEP-0166 (Jingle), XEP-0167 (Jingle RTP), and 
XEP-0176 (Jingle ICE-UDP) all at once.  It uses the XMPP and ICE facilities 
of iris.  Long term we'll want to break this code up so that we can support 
more Jingle things than just voice calls, like file transfer.  But, for now, 
this all-in-one blob is what we have, and it offers a simple API: connect to 
a JID, and you are given an abstract packet pipe that you can read/write RTP 
packets with.

main avcall code: bridges the jinglertp and psimedia parts together and 
offers a user interface.

  Also of note is the qca library, which we use for our security needs and 
contains most of the common cryptographic primitives.  Probably SRTP can be 
implemented using qca functions.

Where SRTP fits into this stack depends on what kind of knowledge it needs 
about the RTP session state.  So you must first read the SRTP specification 
and fully understand its requirements.  Further, make sure you know how SRTP 
may be used with sessions involving more than 2 participants (group 
multimedia conferencing), since that's an area we'd like to explore someday.

If it turns out that SRTP can process arbitrary RTP packets, then probably it 
can be kept out of the psimedia layer.  SRTP encryption could be applied to 
packets after they come out of psimedia, and incoming packets from the 
network could be SRTP decrypted before being fed into psimedia.

Let me know if you have further questions or need more explanation.

-Justin
