ZRTP specific account configuration.

Member Function Documentation

◆ IsEqual()

bool ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig::IsEqual ( ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig^ comp )

Compares the current configuration with the given one.

Parameters

[in] comp SIP configuration to be compared

Returns

0 - not equal
1 - equal

Property Documentation

◆ Auth

List< ZDK_NET:: ZRTPAuthTag>^ ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig::Auth

getset

Configures the ZRTP Authentication Tag types for the User.

Adds the ZRTP Authentication Tag types list.

Note that there might be limited support for authentication tag types.

Note that HS32 and HS80 are requred by the standard and even if not present in a user's auth tag type list they will be negotiated. If both are not present, HS80 will have higher priority than HS32.

The authentication tag is used to authenticate each encrypted audio frame send over the SRTP channel once the ZRTP negotiation has completed.

The original SRTP specification describes HS32 and HS80 which are 32-bit and 80-bit HMAC-SHA1 authentication tags. The 80-bit tag provides better security.

The Skein-MAC authentication tags were not in the original SRTP RFC and might not be supported by the peer or even this library. Please confirm this before using it.

Parameters

[in] value The ZRTP Authentication Tag types list

See also: ZRTPAuthTag

◆ CacheExpiry

int ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig::CacheExpiry

getset

Configures the ZRTP cache expiry for the User.

After a ZRTP negotiation between two peers is complete they update their caches based on their configuration and the negotiation expiry times.

The cache is only useful if both peers in a negotiation have one. In case one of the peers does not have a cache there is absolutely no point in caching for the other peer.

In case both peers have working caches they need to negotiate the lifetime of the cached data. For this to happen both send to the other end their preferences for the cache expiry. After both receive each other's cache expiry preferences, they choose the smaller of the two.

The expiry is set in seconds from the time of the negotiation. There are two special values: 0 disables caching for this exchange and -1 sets the expiry to infinity (never expire). -1 is the default (also recommended by the protocol).

When comparing expiration, -1 is treated as the maximum value. This means that if one peer is configured to never expire, and the other is configured to expire in 3 days, both will set the expiry to 3 days.

If either one of the peers set the expiry to 0 both peers will delete their cache entries for each other.

Parameters

[in] value The expiry in seconds or 0 for no cache or -1 for infinity (default)

◆ Cipher

List< ZDK_NET:: ZRTPCipherAlgorithm>^ ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig::Cipher

getset

Configures the ZRTP Cipher Algorithms for the User.

Adds the specified ZRTP Cipher Algorithm list.

Note that there might be limited support for cipher algorithms.

Note also that AES1 is required by the standard and even if not present in a user's cipher list, it will be offered.

The cipher algorithm is the actual symmetric cipher used to encrypt the audio data once the ZRTP negotiation has completed successfully. It is mainly used by the SRTP protocol for this purpose (ZRTP is NOT the one doing the actual audio encryption. SRTP is still used for this).

The original SRTP RFC describes only AES1 from the list of ciphers in the ZRTP RFC. Most peers will only support AES1. Please confirm which ciphers are supported by the library.

Higher numbers behind the cipher name means better encryption and slower processing.

Parameters

[in] value The ZRTP Cipher Algorithms list

See also: ZRTPCipherAlgorithm

◆ EnableZRTP

bool ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig::EnableZRTP

getset

Configures the use of user's ZRTP.

Parameters

[in]

value

0 - disabled
1 - enabled

◆ Hash

List< ZDK_NET:: ZRTPHashAlgorithm>^ ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig::Hash

getset

Configures the ZRTP Hash Algorithms for the User.

Adds the specified ZRTP Hash Algorithms list.

Note that there is limited support for hash algorithms.

Note that the ZRTP RFC requires S256 to be always present. This means that when doing the actual ZRTP negotiation the ZDK might offer S256 as the lowest prirority even if S256 was not added with this function.

The hash algorithm is used in various steps in the ZRTP negotiation. Bigger number of bits in the hash mean higher securty and slower computation. It is recommended to add all supported algorithms, putting the most secure ones first.

Parameters

[in] value The ZRTP Hash Algorithms list

See also: ZRTPHashAlgorithm

◆ KeyAgreement

List< ZDK_NET:: ZRTPKeyAgreement>^ ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig::KeyAgreement

getset

Configures the ZRTP Key Agreement algorithms for the User.

Adds the ZRTP Key Agreement algorithms list.

Note that there might be limited support for key agreement algorithms.

Note that DH3K is required by the standard and even if not present in this list it will be negotiated.

The key agreement algorithm is the main feature of the ZRTP process. There are three types described in the RFC.

Finite Field Diffie-Hellman. This is the standard public key exchange used in many security protocols. It involves complex calculations with huge integer numbers. The ZRTP protocol uses two public prime groups for the key agreement: the 3072-bit group and the 2048-bit group. The names 'DH3k' and 'DH2k' come from the prime group size. The 3027-bit group provides better security (obviosly).
Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman. This is a newer public key exchange also employed in many security protocols (most of the newer versions of the same protocols that use FFDH). ECDH uses smaller numbers, but they're still huge and the calculations are still expensive. The two supported curve groups by the ZRTP standard are the 384-bit and 256-bit groups. The names 'EC25' and 'EC38' come from the group size. EC38 provides better security.
Preshared. This key exchange does not rely on any public key exchange algorithm but instead relies on both parties sharing a common secret which is configured on each peer before the ZRTP negotiation is made. This negotiation type is used when a peer lacks the CPU or memory necessary for a full Diffie-Hellman exchange.

EC38 and DH3k are recommended for their better security. EC38 is preferred because it is less CPU-intensive than DH3k and provides similar security.

Please confirm that PRSH (Preshared) is available in the ZDK before using it.

Parameters

[in] value The ZRTP Key Agreement algorithms list

See also: ZRTPKeyAgreement

◆ SasEncoding

List< ZDK_NET:: ZRTPSASEncoding>^ ZDK_NET::ZRTPConfig::SasEncoding

getset

Configures the ZRTP SAS encodings for the User.

Adds the ZRTP SAS encodings list.

The SAS stands for "Short Authentication String". It is used to confirm the public key exchange and to do "biometric" voice authentication.

The public key exchange employed by ZRTP is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. By doing vocal comparison of the resulting key exchange the two peers both establish each other's voice authenticity (assuming they know each other and that the VoIP codec is not awful) and make sure the result is the same.

If an attacker tries to hijack the ZRTP key exchnage the two parties will end up with different results. By requiring voice authentication the attacker now has to fake the voices of both peers (and do it not only for the key exchange but for the entire call too).

This voice authentication does not really work for peers that can't recognize each other's voices. In case a secure call is desired with a unknown party, a preshared secret must be employed.

The SAS is used to make comparing the result easier. Instead of reading a long binary sequence ZRTP employs a simple conversion of the binary code into a short easy to read text. Only the most significant bits from the result are used.

B32 (Base-32) converts the 20 most significant bits into 4 alphanumeric characters which are chosen from the latin alphabet combined with some digits so there are no ambiguous characters in it (like 1, l and I for example). To compare the SAS the two participants must know how to spell the latin letters and the digits from 0 to 9 (with some omissions).

B256 (Base-256) converts the 32 most significant bits into 4 english words from a carefully selected dictionary produced by a complicated genetic algorithm. This SAS type requires the two user to be able to read and pronounce correctly each of the 512 words in the dictionary. They don't need to know the words by heart by they do need to be able to pronounce them unambiguously. This might not be suitable for non-english speakers.

Note that B32 is always required to be present in the negotiation and the library will add it to the negotiation even if it is not present in the list.
