Interface I2PSession

All Known Implementing Classes:
I2PSessionImpl, I2PSessionImpl2, I2PSessionMuxedImpl, I2PSimpleSession, SubSession
public interface I2PSession

Define the standard means of sending and receiving messages on the I2P network by using the I2CP (the client protocol). This is done over a bidirectional TCP socket. End to end encryption in I2PSession was disabled in release 0.6. Periodically the router will ask the client to authorize a new set of tunnels to be allocated to the client, which the client can accept by sending a LeaseSet signed by the Destination. In addition, the router may on occasion provide the client with an updated clock offset so that the client can stay in sync with the network (even if the host computer's clock is off).

    • sendMessage

      boolean sendMessage(Destination dest, byte[] payload) throws I2PSessionException
      Send a new message to the given destination, containing the specified payload, returning true if the router feels confident that the message was delivered. WARNING: It is recommended that you use a method that specifies the protocol and ports.
      Parameters:
      dest - location to send the message
      payload - body of the message to be sent (unencrypted)
      Returns:
      whether it was accepted by the router for delivery or not
      Throws:
      I2PSessionException

    • sendMessage

      boolean sendMessage(Destination dest, byte[] payload, int offset, int size) throws I2PSessionException
      Send a new message to the given destination, containing the specified payload, returning true if the router feels confident that the message was delivered. WARNING: It is recommended that you use a method that specifies the protocol and ports.
      Parameters:
      dest - location to send the message
      payload - body of the message to be sent (unencrypted)
      Returns:
      success
      Throws:
      I2PSessionException

    • sendMessage

      boolean sendMessage(Destination dest, byte[] payload, int proto, int fromport, int toport) throws I2PSessionException
      See I2PSessionMuxedImpl for proto/port details.
      Returns:
      success
      Throws:
      I2PSessionException
      Since:
      0.7.1

    • sendMessage

      boolean sendMessage(Destination dest, byte[] payload, SessionKey keyUsed, Set<SessionTag> tagsSent) throws I2PSessionException
      End-to-End Crypto is disabled, tags and keys are ignored! Like sendMessage above, except the key used and the tags sent are exposed to the application.

      If some application layer message delivery confirmation is used, rather than i2p's (slow) built in confirmation via guaranteed delivery mode, the application can update the SessionKeyManager, ala: 

         SessionKeyManager.getInstance().tagsDelivered(dest.getPublicKey(), keyUsed, tagsSent);
      If an application is using guaranteed delivery mode, this is not useful, but for applications using best effort delivery mode, if they can know with certainty that a message was delivered and can update the SessionKeyManager appropriately, a significant performance boost will occur (subsequent message encryption and decryption will be done via AES and a SessionTag, rather than ElGamal+AES, which is 1000x slower).
      Parameters:
      dest - location to send the message
      payload - body of the message to be sent (unencrypted)
      keyUsed - UNUSED, IGNORED. Session key delivered to the destination for association with the tags sent. This is essentially an output parameter - keyUsed.getData() is ignored during this call, but after the call completes, it will be filled with the bytes of the session key delivered. Typically the key delivered is the same one as the key encrypted with, but not always. If this is null then the key data will not be exposed.
      tagsSent - UNUSED, IGNORED. Set of tags delivered to the peer and associated with the keyUsed. This is also an output parameter - the contents of the set is ignored during the call, but afterwards it contains a set of SessionTag objects that were sent along side the given keyUsed.
      Returns:
      success
      Throws:
      I2PSessionException

    • lookupDest

      Destination lookupDest(String name) throws I2PSessionException
      Ask the router to lookup a Destination by hostname. Blocking. Waits a max of 10 seconds by default. This only makes sense for a b32 address, OR outside router context. Inside router context, just query the naming service. Outside router context, this does NOT query the context naming service. Do that first if you expect a local addressbook. This will log a warning for non-b32 in router context. Suggested implementation: 
        if (name.length() == 60 && name.toLowerCase(Locale.US).endsWith(".b32.i2p")) {
      if (session != null)
          return session.lookup(Hash.create(Base32.decode(name.toLowerCase(Locale.US).substring(0, 52))));
      else
          return ctx.namingService().lookup(name); // simple session for xxx.b32.i2p handled by naming service (optional if you need lookup w/o an existing session)
  } else if (ctx.isRouterContext()) {
      return ctx.namingService().lookup(name); // hostname from router's naming service
  } else {
      Destination d = ctx.namingService().lookup(name); // local naming svc, optional
      if (d != null)
          return d;
      if (session != null)
          return session.lookup(name);
      // simple session (optional if you need lookup w/o an existing session)
      Destination rv = null;
      I2PClient client = new I2PSimpleClient();
      Properties opts = new Properties();
      opts.put(I2PClient.PROP_TCP_HOST, host);
      opts.put(I2PClient.PROP_TCP_PORT, port);
      I2PSession session = null;
      try {
          session = client.createSession(null, opts);
          session.connect();
          rv = session.lookupDest(name);
      } finally {
          if (session != null)
              session.destroySession();
      }
      return rv;
  }
      Requires router side to be 0.9.11 or higher. If the router is older, this will return null immediately.
