- Implemented IrcCommandHandlerTests to cover various IRC commands including PING, JOIN, PART, and authentication scenarios. - Added IrcMessageFormatterTests to validate message formatting for different message types such as text, images, files, and audio. - Created IrcMessageTests to ensure correct parsing of IRC messages and handling of various command formats. - Introduced TestHelpers to facilitate testing with mock connections and streams, including a FakeChatService and FakeEncryptionService for simulating chat behavior.

# v0.2.4 - E2E Message Encryption
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
### E2E Message Encryption
|
|
|
|
- Application-layer AES-256-GCM encryption for all message content between client and server
|
|
- Protects against ISPs, proxies, and any middleman reading chat messages — even if TLS is compromised
|
|
- 256-bit encryption key auto-generated on first server startup and saved to `appsettings.json`
|
|
- Client fetches the encryption key automatically after login via `GET /api/server/encryption-key`
|
|
- Client encrypts messages before sending via SignalR; server decrypts for validation and processing
|
|
- Server broadcasts encrypted content to SignalR clients; client decrypts transparently — no user action required
|
|
- Optional database encryption at rest via `Encryption:EncryptDatabase` setting (disabled by default)
|
|
- When enabled: new messages encrypted before DB storage (existing plaintext messages are not retroactively encrypted)
|
|
- When disabled: messages stored as plaintext, no risk of data loss from key rotation
|
|
- Reads handle mixed content (encrypted + plaintext) regardless of setting — safe to toggle at any time
|
|
- Key rotation is safe: old plaintext stays readable, new messages use the new key
|
|
- IRC gateway automatically decrypts messages before forwarding to IRC clients (plaintext over IRC)
|
|
- Encrypted content format: `$ENC$v1${nonce}${ciphertext+tag}` (Base64, 12-byte nonce, 16-byte auth tag)
|
|
- Server strips `$ENC$` prefix from user-typed messages to prevent format spoofing
|
|
- Graceful fallback: if decryption fails, shows `[encrypted message — decryption failed, try re-logging to fetch the latest key]`
|
|
|
|
## Infrastructure
|
|
|
|
- `IMessageEncryptionService` interface in Core; `MessageEncryptionService` server implementation and `ClientEncryptionService` client implementation
|
|
- `EncryptionKeyResponse` DTO and `GET /api/server/encryption-key` endpoint (authenticated, rate-limited)
|
|
- `FirstRunSetup.EnsureEncryptionKey()` auto-generates AES-256 key on first server run
|
|
- `Encryption:EncryptDatabase` server setting (default `false`) controls whether messages are encrypted at rest
|
|
- DB column max lengths increased for encrypted content: `Message.Content` 2000 → 16000, `Message.EmbedJson` 8000 → 32000
|
|
- EF Core migration: `AddEncryptionSupport`
|
|
- Encryption test suite: server-side, client-side, and cross-compatibility tests
