Detailed Description

This is is part of datamodel for storing private messages.

Encryption keys related to messages need to be done using ContentEncryptionModel but after it has done its job, this part of datamodel handles that actual message-content.

Private messages are handled differently in (at least) one way worth mentioning: when other published content is sent over network, the content is accompanied by public key used to sign the content. Private messages have the public key of the content inside the content and the content is encrypted. This means 2 things:

only the recipient knows who sent
only the recipient can verify integrity of the data so, while storing messages here, we do not try to verify. When user opens a message, it is first de-crypted and key obtained from inside, then verification takes place.

Workhorse of methods publishedPrivMessageReceived and sentPrivMessageReceived

Returns: true on success

void PrivMessageModel::error	(	MController::CAErrorSituation	aError,
		const QString &	aExplanation
	)

signal

void PrivMessageModel::fillBucket	(	QList< SendQueueItem > &	aSendQueue,
		const Hash &	aStartOfBucket,
		const Hash &	aEndOfBucket,
		quint32	aLastMutualConnectTime,
		const Hash &	aForNode
	)

Method for filling connected peers send queue with items that we have and that belong to said peers bucket.

Note that for private messages the bucket is kind of 2-way process. This method checks for private messages that are destined for this particular (connecting) node. In addition this method checks for messages where the destination profile belongs to bucket defined by aStartOfBucket/aEndOfBucket. In addition to these mechanisms this is also exploited by 3rd logick (possibly to be implemented in networkconnectorengine) that every-now-and-then creates connections to nodes that (according to hash) are supposed to contain private messages destined to profiles whose private keys we have in storage.

Parameters

aSendQueue	is send-queue of the connection that serves particular node
aStartOfBucket	is hash where bucket of that peer starts. In practice it is the hash of the node itself.
aEndOfBucket	is hash where bucket of that peer ends. That in turn depends on network size, or number of active nodes in the network. See method NodeModel::bucketEndHash for details.
aLastMutualConnectTime	time when node was last in contact. In practice we'll fill the bucket items published after this time.

PrivMessage* PrivMessageModel::messageByFingerPrint ( const Hash & aFingerPrint )

gets a message. caller is supposed to delete the returned profile.

Parameters

aFingerPrint messaqe serial number

Returns: message or NULL

bool PrivMessageModel::messageDataByFingerPrint	(	const Hash &	aFingerPrint,
		QByteArray &	aResultingPrivMessageData,
		QByteArray &	aResultingSignature,
		Hash *	aResultingDestinationNode,
		Hash *	aResultingRecipient,
		quint32 *	aTimeOfPublish = `NULL`
	)

Gets a message. Because message is signed .. and that means that a particular byte-stream (containing actually a serialized json object) gets signed those bytes can't be altered or signature will not verify. This methods gets the actual signed bytestream that has been checked against a public key.

Note that this method does not check the signature any more, idea is that we don't store into db messages that fail the signature check so this method only gets the message, does not set it.

Parameters

aFingerPrint	message serial number
aResultingPrivMessageData	will contain message data
aResultingSignature	will contain message signature
aResultingDestinationNode	output parameter will get its value set to fingerprint of the node where the message is supposed to go. May come out as KNullHash if the node is not known.
aResultingRecipient	output parameter will get its value set to fingerprint of the profile that is supposed to read the msg
aTimeOfPublish	is output variable, if non-NULL, will get its value set to time of publish of the message

Returns: true if message was found

QList<Hash> PrivMessageModel::messagesForProfile	(	const Hash &	aProfileHash,
		const quint32	aLastMutualConnectTime
	)

method for getting list of messages destined for given operator that has been posted after the given date. This is called upon network protocol message KPrivMessagesForProfile.

Parameters

aProfileHash	operator profile fingerprint whose messages are requested.
aLastMutualConnectTime	messages that are sent afer aLastMutualConnectTime will be returned.

Returns: list of message fingerprints

bool PrivMessageModel::publishedPrivMessageReceived	(	const Hash &	aFingerPrint,
		const QByteArray &	aContent,
		const QByteArray &	aSignature,
		const QList< quint32 > &	aBangPath,
		const Hash &	aDestinationNode,
		const Hash &	aRecipient,
		const quint32	aTimeStamp,
		const Hash &	aFromNode
	)

called by protocol parser when a message is received

Parameters

aFingerPrint	is the message Hash received from protocol header
aContent	is actual message data
aSignature	is digital signature of the aContent
aBangPath	is list of last nodes where this content has been, idea is to prevent re-sending content to somewhere where it has already been
aDestinationNode	node where the message should be delivered to ; may be nullhash
aRecipient	recipient profile hash
aTimeStamp	timestamp of message (if encrypted, it must be carried outside..)
aFromNode	hash of node sending the message to us

Returns: true on success

bool PrivMessageModel::publishPrivMessage	(	PrivMessage &	aPrivMessage,
		const Hash &	aDestinationNode = `KNullHash`
	)

sends private message to selected nodes in network for others to retrieve. as a side-effect will update aPrivMessage.iFingerPrint, supposing the publish is successful.

Parameters

aPrivMessage	is the message to publish. Messages are "sent" so that they're published into network. Recipient then may poll them. Networking logick will try to short-cut this if correct node seems to be already connected but in principle messages are sent by process of publish.
aDestinationNode	if node of the recipient is known, it may be given here.

Returns: true if things went all right

bool PrivMessageModel::sentPrivMessageReceived	(	const Hash &	aFingerPrint,
		const QByteArray &	aContent,
		const QByteArray &	aSignature,
		const Hash &	aDestinationNode,
		const Hash &	aRecipient,
		const quint32	aTimeStamp,
		const Hash &	fromNode
	)

called by protocol parser when a private message is received by "send" protocol type

Parameters

aFingerPrint	is the message Hash received from protocol header
aContent	is actual message data
aSignature	is digital signature of the aContent
aDestinationNode	node where the message should be delivered to ; may be nullhash
aRecipient	recipient profile hash
aFlag	possible flags telling about encyption and compression
aTimeStamp	timestamp of message (if encrypted, it must be carried outside..)

Returns: true on success

void PrivMessageModel::setAsRead	(	const Hash &	aMessageHash,
		bool	aIsRead
	)

method for marking private message as read
