1) Break the core cryptography functions out into libaxolotol.
2) The objective for this code is a Java library that isn't
dependent on any Android functions. However, while the
code has been separated from any Android functionality,
it is still an 'android library project' because of the
JNI.
1) On the push side, this message is a flag in PushMessageContent.
Any secure message with that flag will terminate the current
sessin.
2) On the SMS side, there is an "end session" wire type and
the convention that a message with this wire type must be
secure and contain the string "TERMINATE."
1) Move all the crypto classes from securesms.crypto.
2) Move all the crypto storage from securesms.database.keys
3) Replace the old imported BC code with spongycastle.
1) Allow imports from the stock SMS database at any time.
2) Provide plaintext export support, in a format compatible with
the "SMS Backup And Restore" app.
3) Fix the DB weirdness on encrypted restore that previously
required killing the app.
1) We now try to hand out cursors at a minimum. There has always been
a fairly clean insertion layer that handles encrypting message bodies,
but the process of decrypting message bodies has always been less than
ideal. Here we introduce a "Reader" interface that will decrypt message
bodies when appropriate and return objects that encapsulate record state.
No more MessageDisplayHelper. The MmsSmsDatabase interface is also more
sane.
2) We finally rid ourselves of the technical debt associated with TextSecure's
initial usage of the default SMS DB. In that world, we weren't able to use
anything other than the default "Inbox, Outbox, Sent" types to describe a
message, and had to overload the message content itself with a set of
local "prefixes" to describe what it was (encrypted, asymetric encrypted,
remote encrypted, a key exchange, procssed key exchange), and so on.
This includes a major schema update that transforms the "type" field into
a bitmask that describes everything that used to be encoded in a prefix,
and prefixes have been completely eliminated from the system.
No more Prefix.java
3) Refactoring of the MultipartMessageHandler code. It's less of a mess, and
hopefully more clear as to what's going on.
The next step is to remove what we can from SmsTransportDetails and genericize
that interface for a GCM equivalent.
