It concludes the resumption-hello +decision "does not depend on the 4.1%." + +The layer distinction is correct. The conclusion does not follow, for one reason: **the censor does not +see layers.** It sees TCP flows carrying ClientHellos. Our outer connection is not exempt from that +population — it is one more member of it. The relevant question is not "can we attain 100% resumption on +a layer we control" (we can) but "what fraction of the flows the censor observes are resumption hellos" +(~4%), and ours is 100% of them. + +So amend, do not overturn: + +- design.md is right that attainability is not the issue and that the outer ticket path is ours. Keep it. +- design.md is right that http-proxy is prior art for the operational half. Keep that too. +- What it misses is that **the anomaly is not resumption — it is exclusivity.** A client with a long + relationship to one host and a stack of its tickets *is* a real pattern (a mail server, a CDN, a sync + endpoint). What no real client does is reach a host for the first time already holding a ticket, and + never once complete a full handshake with it. + +That reframing sets the bar, and it is much lower than 4%: we do not need to match the wild distribution. +We need first contact to be a full handshake, and resumption afterwards to be what it is everywhere else — +the continuation of an observed relationship. See "What remains"; that is why it needs no dice roll. + +**The sharper form of the problem.** You cannot resume a session that was never established. An +observer with flow history sees a `pre_shared_key` hello to an IP it never saw that client complete a +full handshake with — structurally impossible in real TLS. Combined with the SNI/IP inconsistency +(lantern-cloud#3292), that is a cheap two-term pre-filter that needs no DPI. + +Softening it, honestly: tickets legitimately survive days, client roaming and server IP rotation, and +CDNs share tickets across IPs, so a censor with finite history gets false positives. It is a strong +signal, not a proof — and note it is exactly the signal the first-contact-full policy erases, which is +the argument for building this at all. + +## Groundwork from #1 + +Prerequisite, and all of it already on main before this work: + +- `ServerHelloFullLen = 1215` beside `ServerHelloResumedLen = 1221` (`serverhello.go`).

Probing from two vantage points on the same day, google +served `[2619]` to a laptop and `[3921]` to a GitHub runner — 1302 bytes apart — while cloudflare and +microsoft agreed at both. So the remainder is not merely perishable, it is **specific to the probing +vantage point**: an egress must probe from *itself*, and a profile measured anywhere else can be over a +kilobyte wrong even where it was correct when taken. That makes the per-egress probing requirement +load-bearing rather than tidy — inheriting a profile is not a degraded option, it is a wrong one. + +Three consequences: + +1. **The remainder is the certificate**, so a faithful full handshake costs **5–10 KB** of opening + overhead against ~1.3 KB resumed. Price this deliberately. +2. **It cannot be a table constant.** It moves run to run — cloudflare 3846/3847/3848, google + 3920/3921 — because the DER-encoded ECDSA signature in CertificateVerify varies in length, while + microsoft's fixed-length RSA signature holds 8273 exactly. It also changes on every certificate + rotation. `FullRemainder` must come from `coverprobe`, and an emitter must **jitter within the + sampled range**, or it is the only host on the network whose certificate flight never varies. + Sampled jitter is a **floor**: 5 samples reported 1 for cloudflare, but it has been seen at 3846, + 3847 *and* 3848. +3. microsoft splits into EncryptedExtensions/Certificate/CertificateVerify/Finished; cloudflare and + google coalesce all four. `ServerRemainder []int` already models this — the client must read one + record per entry (a fixed single read is the bug #1 hit). + +## The carrier: where does the ticket go? + +### First, a correction + +An earlier draft of this document proposed putting `AEAD(k_server, clientID ‖ timestamp)` in +`ClientHello.random`. **That is impossible.** `TicketKey` never leaves the egress (`auth.go`), so a client +cannot encrypt under it. In the resumption path the client does not encrypt anything — it presents a +ciphertext *the server minted for it*. The direction was backwards. + +Correcting it shrinks the problem. Provisioned clients always hold a `Credential{Ticket, PSK}`; that is why +every hello is a resumption hello in the first place. So the question was never "authenticate with no +credential." It is: + +> **Where does the ticket go, if not in `pre_shared_key`?** + +And with the ticket still present, `clientID` and `Issued` come out of `TicketKey.Open` exactly as they do +today — so **the merged `ReplayCache` applies unchanged**, and this document's former "hard part" does not +exist. + +### Leading candidate: the GREASE ECH payload + +`harvest/testdata/arrival-chrome152.log` measured Chrome 152's ECH extension at **186/218/250/282 bytes** +across 7 hellos, redrawn per connection — a payload of 144/176/208/240 after the 42-byte header +(`config_type ‖ kdf ‖ aead ‖ config_id ‖ enc[32]` plus the two length prefixes). `echGREASELengths` in +`twiddle.go` already models exactly this, and `rerandECHGrease` already overwrites the payload with fresh +random bytes every connection. + +That payload is **the one field in the hello where 144–240 uniform bytes are precisely what belongs.** A +ticket is AEAD ciphertext. It is the same object. + +``` +full-handshake hello: + no pre_shared_key <- looks like a full handshake, because it is one + ECH payload = ticket ‖ random padding <- padded to the drawn Chrome bucket + random = HMAC(binderKey(psk), hello with random zeroed) + key_share = real ephemeral <- unchanged +``` + +Why each piece: + +- **Ticket length becomes free.** In the resumption path `TicketLen` is a hard fidelity parameter because + the ticket sets the emitted hello size (`auth.go`: cloudflare 176 → 1711 B). Inside the ECH payload it is + invisible; only the *payload* length is observable, and that is drawn from Chrome's buckets. So fix the + full-path ticket at **144 bytes** — it fits the smallest bucket, so every bucket stays reachable — and pad + with random bytes to whatever length `rerandECHGrease` drew. Length variation stays exactly Chrome's. +- **`random` takes over the binder's job.** The binder lives in `pre_shared_key` and dies with it. A + 32-byte HMAC keyed from the psk fits `random` exactly, and 32 uniform bytes is what `random` is. Same + "authenticate over the final byte layout" discipline: compute it last, over the marshalled hello with + `random` zeroed. +- **Nothing new is provisioned.** No new key material, no lantern-cloud or lantern-box change. The client + already holds the credential; the server already holds the ticket key. + +### Measured: the covers publish no ECHConfig, so GREASE holds + +The carrier's length model only holds while Chrome sends *GREASE* ECH. A Chrome that obtains an ECHConfig +sends **real** ECH, whose payload length is set by the encrypted inner hello rather than by +`echGREASELengths` — which would make the model wrong. `arrival-chrome152.log` could not settle this: it +captured hellos to a bare IP with no DNS, so real ECH was impossible there by construction. + +Settled now — `harvest/testdata/ech-config-published.log`. Querying the HTTPS RR across three independent +resolvers, with `crypto.cloudflare.com` as a positive control that proves the method detects `ech=`: + +| host | ECHConfig published | +|---|---| +| `www.cloudflare.com` | no | +| `www.google.com` | no | +| `www.microsoft.com` | no | +| `crypto.cloudflare.com` *(control)* | **yes** | + +None of the three cover identities publishes one, so a Chrome with secure DNS fully working still cannot +fetch one for them and sends GREASE. **This is a stronger result than `docs/ech.md`'s**, which reaches the +same conclusion for in-region clients via a contingent route — China censors encrypted DNS resolvers, so no +config is fetched. Here the config does not exist to fetch, so the carrier holds for an unrestricted client +too and does not depend on the censorship it is meant to survive. + +Note `www.cloudflare.com` itself does not enable ECH; only the demo host does. Cloudflare has enabled and +rolled back ECH for customer zones before, so this is a **monitorable** condition, not a permanent one — the +log carries the one-line check. + +### The objection, which is real + +`docs/ech.md` concludes: *"ship ECH, and keep the ability to stop shipping it without shipping anything"* — +because the pool is data, a device tap from a browser that does not send ECH silently produces a non-ECH +pool, and that is the designed escape hatch if China ever blocks `0xfe0d`. + +Putting authentication in the ECH payload **couples the full-handshake path to a hedge built to be +dropped.** If the hedge fires, the carrier vanishes. + +The answer is that this is degradation, not breakage, and there is already a gate for it: +`CanEmitFullHandshake()` must additionally require an ECH extension with a large enough payload. A pool +without ECH falls back to the resumption path — which is exactly where we are today, so the floor is the +status quo. Say this out loud in the code, because a future reader will otherwise re-derive the objection +and assume it was missed. + +### Fallback candidate: ECDH to a server static key + +If the ECH coupling proves unacceptable, the REALITY-style construction works: + +``` +k_open = HKDF(ECDH(client_eph_priv, server_static_pub)) +random = AEAD(k_open, nonce = KDF(client_eph_pub), clientID ‖ timestamp ‖ psk_proof) +``` + +The server does **one** X25519 against its static private key to recover the opener key — no per-client +trial, no O(clients) scan. `docs/uniform-ephemeral.md` warns that "the client never performs a DH," but that +warning is about placing a raw curve point in a *ciphertext-shaped* field. Here the curve point goes in +`key_share`, where `auth.go` already says "a curve point is precisely what belongs and carries no anomaly at +all" — and the client already does exactly this DH today. + +Costs, and why it is second choice: + +- A new long-term server keypair, provisioned to every client — a lantern-cloud (`pcfg`) and lantern-box + change, i.e. cross-repo work the ECH carrier does not need. +- No ticket on the wire, so `clientID`/`Issued` no longer come from `TicketKey.Open` and the replay gate + **does** need the separate short-window construction this document previously described. Keep that + sketch in the git history for this case. +- Forward secrecy is unchanged for traffic (session keys still come from the ephemeral-ephemeral ECDH plus + psk), but a later compromise of the static key retroactively reveals the `clientID` in past openings. + The ECH carrier has no equivalent exposure. + +## What was built + +All of it mutation-tested — every guarantee below has a deliberate break that fails a test. + +| Piece | Where | +|---|---| +| `SetECHTicketAuth` / `VerifyECHTicketAuth`, `FullTicketLen = 144`, `echPayload`, `ECHPayloadLen` | `echcarrier.go` | +| `Credential.FullTicket`, `IssueFullFor`, both tickets sealed at one instant | `auth.go` | +| `CredentialFromWireFull` (additive; `CredentialFromWire` stays resumption-only) | `pool.go` | +| `ServerHelloParams.FullHandshake` — omits `pre_shared_key`, the exact 6-byte delta | `serverhello.go` | +| `validateClientHello` split; `validateFullClientHello`; `DrawFullRemainder`; `Adopt` carries jitter | `cover.go` | +| `Options.FullHandshake`, `pre_shared_key` stripped from the template | `twiddle.go` | +| `ClientConfig.FullHandshake`, server dispatch on PSK presence, jittered emission, two-record rotation | `handshake.go` | +| `FullHandshakeCarriers` — the pool is not uniform, so the draw must be restricted | `echcarrier.go` | +| `ContactMemory` — the mix policy: full on first contact, resumed after, re-full past the horizon | `contacts.go` | +| `Conn.FullHandshake()` — which shape a connection used, so the deployed mix can be counted | `conn.go` | +| `ProbeResult.RemainderJitter`, filled by `SampleFull` | `cover.go`, `harvest/coverprobe` | + +Measured end to end against the microsoft profile: **ServerHello 1215, ccs 6, remainder +`[32 8273 286 74]`** — the shape from `postflight-full-vs-resumed.log`, with the record *count* right, +which is what an observer counts. + +Three decisions worth knowing, because each looks like an omission until you see why: + +- **The server does not check that the ECH payload length is one of Chrome's buckets.** That is a property + of what we *emit*, asserted on the emission side. A server refusing anything else would break the first + device-tapped pool from a Chrome whose buckets differ from the ones we measured, and strictness there + buys nothing against a censor, who sees the client's hello and not our validation of it. +- **`Twiddle` strips `pre_shared_key` rather than requiring a clean template.** Harvested hellos routinely + carry one — they come from real browsing, which resumes, and the hellos in `harvest/testdata` do. The + emitted hello is then shorter than its source by exactly that extension, which is precisely the + difference between a real Chrome resumption hello and a real Chrome full one. +- **Every uncertainty in `ContactMemory` resolves toward a full handshake.** A forgotten entry, an evicted + one, a restarted process, a changed local address, an expired horizon — each produces an *extra* full + handshake, which costs 5–10 KB and looks *more* normal rather than less, since 95%+ of real connections + are full handshakes. The opposite mistake is the distinguisher. That asymmetry is what makes a simple + entry bound sound here, and it is the **reverse** of `ReplayCache`, where evicting a live entry reopens + the window the gate exists to close. +- **Both tickets of a credential are sealed at the same instant.** `ReplayCache` refuses a ticket older + than the client's newest, so a one-second skew between them would make whichever path the client used + *second* look like a stale capture. That failure is invisible to a test of either path alone. + +## What remains + +1. **Provisioning the companion ticket.** lantern-cloud's `GenerateTwiddle` (PR #3291, draft) must emit + `full_ticket` alongside `ticket` and `psk`, and lantern-box must pass it to `CredentialFromWireFull`. + Until then a provisioned client is resumption-only, which degrades to today's behaviour rather than + failing. `cmd/twiddlecred` already prints it. +2. **A probed full profile per egress.** `CanEmitFullHandshake()` gates both ends on `FullRemainder`, which + the table ships empty on purpose, so nothing offers the path until `coverprobe.SampleFull` has run + against the live upstream and `Adopt` has taken the result. The startup-probe plumbing is the same work + the resumed profile needs. +3. **`sessionTicketWire = 370` is still wrong for all three covers** (microsoft was measured at 303, + cloudflare and google issue none unprompted). Pre-existing; rotation now sends two records, which is + closer to microsoft's measured pair, but the size itself is untouched. + +### The mix policy, and the one number in it + +`ContactMemory` keys on the (local address, egress address) pair and asks a single question: has this +client completed a full handshake to this egress recently enough that a censor still remembers it? + +- **First contact → full.** There is no ticket-less alternative to explain, and no ratio to tune. +- **Afterwards → resumed**, which is what a real client with a live ticket does. +- **Past the horizon → full again**, because a censor's flow history is finite. + +`DefaultContactHorizon` is **6 hours**, and it is a guess with a direction. The true retention is +unknowable; flow-record retention is commonly days, so six hours sits well inside it, and the cost of +being wrong this way is one extra full handshake per egress per six hours — tens of kilobytes a day. +Erring long risks emitting exactly the resumption-without-predecessor the carrier exists to remove. + +Two caller obligations, both operational rather than API: + +1. **Call `Reset()` on a network change.** The local address is a weak proxy: behind NAT two different + networks can both hand out `192.168.1.5`, and the move goes unnoticed. radiance and lantern-box already + detect network changes for VPN reconnection, so this is a wire-up, not new machinery. +2. **Count `Conn.FullHandshake()`.** A memory that degraded on every connection, because no cover was ever + probed, looks identical to one that is working. The deployed mix is the only evidence it works. + +State is in-memory only, so a restart re-fulls every egress. That is the safe direction and is left alone +deliberately — persisting it would trade a few kilobytes for a file that, if stale, emits the exact shape +we are avoiding. + +## Traps worth knowing before starting + +Each of these cost real time in #1: + +- **A test whose oracle is the thing under test proves nothing.** `TestOpeningRecordSequenceMatchesCover` + compared the emitter against the profile that drove it, so collapsing microsoft's `[32 74]` to + `[106]` kept it green. `cover_test.go` now pins against literals transcribed from the logs. The full + variant needs the structural equivalent. +- **Mutation-test every guarantee.** Two regression tests in #1 passed with the fix removed. Break the + thing deliberately and confirm the test fails, or the test is decoration. +- **A flight-style probe measures the wrong handshake.** Emitting a hello and never completing it + yields the *full* profile (1215, multi-KB) — which is now what we want here, but it cannot reach the + resumed shape. Do not conflate the two probes. +- **Go's `crypto/tls` is a valid reference for the SERVER and the wrong one for the CLIENT.** Its + client flights are 64/64/80 against Chrome's measured 149/145/164.
