WARNING

This codebase is a work in progress, which doesn't even work correctly.

• I'm publishing to Github in case someone else can fix the issue (described later).

• Besides one feature not working, the code that I assume to be working may, infact, be broken.

The blocker for me right now is matching richochet's test vectors for the Cryptokey::sign256 function. Amazingly, my implementation of signData() works just fine, but sign256 seems to fail when provided with short strings.

No idea why, I've tried numerous things short of implementing the entire PKCS#2 signing procedure. This is not the solution we are looking for!

To test:

• set up tor using their debian repository
• in your torrc expose the ControlPort, and create a password (tor --hash-password testtesttesttest)
• take your ricochet client ID (without the protocol prefix) and update connect.php
• generate a new RSA private key for your bot, and update connect.php
• run connect.php - you'll connect, but fail auth due to an invalid sig.

Ricochet-IM for PHP

Requirements (installation for consumers):

No composer package yet, but tor >= 2.7.1 is required for ephemeral hidden services.

This can be installed via the Tor projects debian repository, check their website for instructions.

Requirements (installation for contributors):

If you're working on protobufs, you'll need the compiler:

https://github.com/drslump/Protobuf-PHP#installation

sudo apt install protobuf-compiler
pear channel-discover pear.pollinimini.net
pear install drslump/Protobuf-beta

protoc \ --plugin=protoc-gen-php='/usr/bin/protoc-gen-php'
--proto_path=':resource/'
--proto_path=':vendor/rgooding/library/DrSlump/Protobuf/Compiler/protos'
--php_out=':src/'
'/home/user/git/ricochet-im/resource/protocol-controlchannel.proto'

Or probably (it's been a while), run build_proto, modifying the script if you add new .proto files.
