Types

type Block 

type Block struct {
	View        uint64
	BlockID     flow.Identifier
	ProposerID  flow.Identifier
	QC          *flow.QuorumCertificate
	PayloadHash flow.Identifier
	Timestamp   time.Time
}

Block is the HotStuff algorithm's concept of a block, which - in the bigger picture - corresponds to the block header.

func BlockFromFlow 

func BlockFromFlow(header *flow.Header) *Block

BlockFromFlow converts a flow header to a hotstuff block.

func GenesisBlockFromFlow 

func GenesisBlockFromFlow(header *flow.Header) *Block

GenesisBlockFromFlow returns a HotStuff block model representing a genesis block based on the given header.

type ByzantineThresholdExceededError 

type ByzantineThresholdExceededError struct {
	Evidence string
}

ByzantineThresholdExceededError is raised if HotStuff detects malicious conditions, which prove that the Byzantine threshold of consensus replicas has been exceeded. Per definition, this is the case when there are byzantine consensus replicas with ≥ 1/3 of the committee's total weight. In this scenario, foundational consensus safety guarantees fail. Generally, the protocol cannot continue in such conditions. We represent this exception as with a dedicated type, so its occurrence can be detected by higher-level logic and escalated to the node operator.

CertifiedBlock holds a certified block, which is a block and a QC that is pointing to the block. A QC is the aggregated form of votes from a supermajority of HotStuff and therefore proves validity of the block. A certified block satisfies: Block.View == QC.View and Block.BlockID == QC.BlockID

func NewCertifiedBlock added in v0.30.2 

func NewCertifiedBlock(block *Block, qc *flow.QuorumCertificate) (CertifiedBlock, error)

type NewViewEvent TimerInfo

NewViewEvent indicates that a new view has started. While it has the same data model as `TimerInfo`, their semantics are different (hence we use different types): `TimerInfo` represents a continuous time interval.

func (e NoVoteError) Unwrap() error

type Proposal 

type Proposal struct {
	Block      *Block
	LastViewTC *flow.TimeoutCertificate
}

Proposal represents a block proposal under construction. In order to decide whether a proposal is safe to sign, HotStuff's Safety Rules require proof that the leader entered the respective view in a protocol-compliant manner. Specifically, we require a TimeoutCertificate [TC] if and only if the QC in the block is _not_ for the immediately preceding view. Thereby we protect the consensus process from malicious leaders attempting to skip views that haven't concluded yet (a form of front-running attack). However, LastViewTC is only relevant until a QC is known that certifies the correctness of the block. Thereafter, the QC attests that honest consensus participants have confirmed the validity of the fork up to the latest certified block (including protocol-compliant view transitions).

By explicitly differentiating the Proposal from the SignedProposal (extending Proposal by adding the proposer's signature), we can unify the algorithmic path of signing block proposals. This codifies the important aspect that a proposer's signature for their own block is conceptually also just a vote (we explicitly use that for aggregating votes, including the proposer's own vote to a QC). In order to express this conceptual equivalence in code, the voting logic in Safety Rules must also operate on an unsigned Proposal.

TODO: atm, the flow.Header embeds the LastViewTC. However, for HotStuff we have `model.Block` and `model.Proposal`, where the latter was introduced when we added the PaceMaker to vanilla HotStuff. It would be more consistent, if we added `LastViewTC` to `model.Block`, or even better, introduce an interface for HotStuff's notion of a block (exposing the fields in `model.Block` plus LastViewTC)

func ProposalFromFlow 

func ProposalFromFlow(header *flow.Header) *Proposal

ProposalFromFlow turns an unsigned flow header into a unsigned hotstuff block type.

type SigDataPacker added in v0.26.1 

type SigDataPacker struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

SigDataPacker implements logic for encoding/decoding SignatureData using RLP encoding.

func (*SigDataPacker) Decode added in v0.26.1 

func (p *SigDataPacker) Decode(data []byte) (*SignatureData, error)

Decode performs decoding of SignatureData This function is side-effect free. It only ever returns a model.InvalidFormatError, which indicates an invalid encoding.

func (*SigDataPacker) Encode added in v0.26.1 

func (p *SigDataPacker) Encode(sigData *SignatureData) ([]byte, error)

Encode performs encoding of SignatureData

type SignatureData added in v0.26.1 

type SignatureData struct {
	// bit-vector indicating type of signature for each signer.
	// the order of each sig type matches the order of corresponding signer IDs
	SigType []byte

	AggregatedStakingSig         []byte
	AggregatedRandomBeaconSig    []byte
	ReconstructedRandomBeaconSig crypto.Signature
}

SignatureData is a compact data type for encoding the block signature data

type SignedProposal 

type SignedProposal struct {
	Proposal
	SigData []byte
}

SignedProposal represent a new proposed block within HotStuff (and thus a header in the bigger picture), signed by the proposer.

CAUTION: the signature only covers the pair (Block.View, Block.BlockID). Therefore, only the data that is hashed into the BlockID is cryptographically secured by the proposer's signature. Specifically, the proposer's signature cannot be covered by the Block.BlockID, as the proposer _signs_ the Block.BlockID (otherwise we have a cyclic dependency).

func SignedProposalFromFlow 

func SignedProposalFromFlow(header *flow.Header) *SignedProposal

SignedProposalFromFlow turns a flow header into a hotstuff block type.

func (*SignedProposal) ProposerVote 

func (p *SignedProposal) ProposerVote() *Vote

ProposerVote extracts the proposer vote from the proposal

type TimeoutObject added in v0.29.0 

type TimeoutObject struct {
	// View is the view number which is replica is timing out
	View uint64
	// NewestQC is the newest QC (by view) known to the creator of this TimeoutObject
	NewestQC *flow.QuorumCertificate
	// LastViewTC is the timeout certificate for previous view if NewestQC.View != View - 1, else nil
	LastViewTC *flow.TimeoutCertificate
	// SignerID is the identifier of replica that has signed this TimeoutObject
	// SignerID must be the origin ID from networking layer, which cryptographically
	//  authenticates the message's sender.
	SignerID flow.Identifier
	// SigData is a BLS signature created by staking key signing View + NewestQC.View
	// This signature is further aggregated in TimeoutCertificate.
	SigData crypto.Signature
	// TimeoutTick is the number of times the `timeout.Controller` has (re-)emitted the
	// timeout for this view. When the timer for the view's original duration expires, a `TimeoutObject`
	// with `TimeoutTick = 0` is broadcast. Subsequently, `timeout.Controller` re-broadcasts the
	// `TimeoutObject` periodically  based on some internal heuristic. Each time we attempt a re-broadcast,
	// the `TimeoutTick` is incremented. Incrementing the field prevents de-duplicated within the network layer,
	// which in turn guarantees quick delivery of the `TimeoutObject` after GST and facilitates recovery.
	// This field is not part of timeout object ID. Thereby, two timeouts are identical if only they differ
	// by their TimeoutTick value.
	TimeoutTick uint64
}

TimeoutObject represents intent of replica to leave its current view with a timeout. This concept is very similar to HotStuff vote. Valid TimeoutObject is signed by staking key.

func (*TimeoutObject) ID added in v0.29.0 

func (t *TimeoutObject) ID() flow.Identifier

ID returns the TimeoutObject's identifier

func (*TimeoutObject) LogContext added in v0.29.0 

func (t *TimeoutObject) LogContext(logger zerolog.Logger) zerolog.Context

LogContext returns a `zerolog.Contex` including the most important properties of the TC:

  • view number that this TC is for
  • view and ID of the block that the included QC points to
  • number of times a re-broadcast of this timeout was attempted
  • [optional] if the TC also includes a TC for the prior view, i.e. `LastViewTC` ≠ nil: the new of `LastViewTC` and the view that `LastViewTC.NewestQC` is for

func (*TimeoutObject) String added in v0.29.0 

func (t *TimeoutObject) String() string

type TimerInfo 

type TimerInfo struct {
	// View is round at which timer was created.
	View uint64
	// StartTime represents time of entering the view.
	StartTime time.Time
	// Duration is how long we waited before timing out the view.
	// It does not include subsequent timeouts (ie. all timeout events emitted for the same
	// view will have the same Duration).
	Duration time.Duration
}

TimerInfo represents a local timeout for a view, and indicates the Pacemaker has not yet observed evidence to transition to the next view (QC or TC). When a timeout occurs for the first time in a view, we will broadcast a TimeoutObject and continue waiting for evidence to enter the next view, but we will no longer submit a vote for this view. A timeout may occur multiple times for the same round, which is an indication to re-broadcast our TimeoutObject for the view, to ensure liveness.

type Vote 

type Vote struct {
	View     uint64
	BlockID  flow.Identifier
	SignerID flow.Identifier
	SigData  []byte
}

Vote is the HotStuff algorithm's concept of a vote for a block proposal.

func VoteFromFlow 

func VoteFromFlow(signerID flow.Identifier, blockID flow.Identifier, view uint64, sig crypto.Signature) *Vote

VoteFromFlow turns the vote parameters into a vote struct.

func (*Vote) ID 

func (uv *Vote) ID() flow.Identifier

ID returns the identifier for the vote.
