 ## Problem

-SMP protocol relays are chosen and can be controlled by the message recipients. It means that the recipients can find out IP addresses of message senders by modifying SMP relay code (or by using proxies and timing correlation), unless the senders use VPN or some overlay network. Tor is an audequate solution in most cases to mitigate it, but it requires additional technical knowledge to install and configure (even installing Orbot on Android is seen as "complex" by many users), and reduces usability because of higher latency.

 A possible attack here is that proxy can use this TLS session to replay commands received from the client.

+Question: should proxy declare its role in handshake? When proxy connects to SMP relay it would indicate in the handshake that it will act as a proxy and the SMP relay would expect the same `forward` commands and reply with `response`s.

-Below syntax aims to fit in 16kb block using spare capacity in SMP protocol.
+Common SMP transmission format (v4), for reference:

 ```abnf
-proxy_block = padded(proxy_transmission, 16384)
-proxy_transmission = corr_id relay_session_id proxy_command
-corr_id = length *8 OCTET
-proxy_command = server / server_id / forward / response / error
-server = "S" address [relay_basic_auth] ; creates transport session between proxy and relay
-server_id = "I" relay_session_id tls_session_id signed_relay_key ;
-    ; session_id is the TLS session ID between proxy and relay, it has to be included inside encrypted block to prevent replay attacks
-forward = %s"F" random_dh_pub_key encrypted_block ; it's important that a new key is used for each command, to prevent any correlation by proxy or by destination relay
-response = %s"R" encrypted_block; response received from the destination SMP relay
-relay_session_id = length *8 OCTET
-error = %s"E" error
+paddedTransmission = <padded(transmission), 16384>
+transmission = signature signed
+signature = 0 ; empty signatures here
+signed = sessionIdentifier corrId entityId (smpCommand / brokerMsg)
 ```

-The overhead is: 1+8 (corrId) + 1+8 (relay_session_id) + 1 (command) + 1+32 (random_dh_pub_key) + 2 (original length) + 16 (auth tag for e2e encryption) + 16 (auth tag for proxy to relay encryption) = 86 bytes. The reserve for sent messages in SMP is ~84 bytes, so it should about fit with some reduced bytes somewhere.
+- `corrId` is fully random each time and used as a nonce for encrypted blocks.
+- `entityId` carries tlsUniq from the current proxy-to-relay connection.
+- `smpCommand` gets extended with `s2p_command / p2r_command`.
+- `brokerMsg` gets extended with `r_key / r_response`.

-Another possible design is to allow mixing sent messages and normal SMP commands in the same transport connection, but it can make fitting in the block a bit harder, additional overhead would be: 1 (transmission count) + 2 (transmission size) + 1 (empty signature) = 4 bytes.
+```abnf
+s2p_command = proxy / forward
+p2r_command = p_handshake ; forward is
+proxy = %s"PRXY" SP relayUri SP basicAuth
+relayUri = length %s"smp://" serverIdentity "@" srvHost [":" port]
+forward = %s"PFWD" SP dhPublic SP encryptedBlock
+r_key = %s"PKEY" SP dhPublic
+r_response = %s"RRES" SP encryptedBlock
+dhPublic = length x509encoded
+```

 The above assumes that the client can only send one message to an SMP relay and then has to wait for response before sending the next message. Missing the response would cause re-delivery (further improvement is possible when proxy detects these redelieveries and not send them to relays but simply reply with the same response).
