// A NaCl `crypto_box_seal`, byte-compatible with Go's `box.SealAnonymous`, over the audited // `tweetnacl-sealedbox-js`. // // **Why this file exists, and why it is exactly this.** novox/hq ADR 0050's refreshable-grant // carve-out delivers the refresh token to the manager module the way the mesh delivers every other // credential: sealed to the node's key, and unsealed by the *host* — never by the module. The host // unseals with Go's `golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/box.OpenAnonymous` (mesh-host // internal/identity/sealing.go), and mesh-controller seals with `box.SealAnonymous` // (mesh-controller internal/secrets/seal.go). Both are NaCl `crypto_box_seal`: // // sealed = ephemeralPub(32) ‖ crypto_box(msg, nonce, recipientPub, ephemeralSecret) // nonce = blake2b( ephemeralPub ‖ recipientPub , 24 bytes, unkeyed ) // // When the vendor rotates the refresh token, the manager module must store the new one back the // same way — sealed to the manager node's own sealing key — so mesh-controller keeps it without ever // reading it and the host can later unseal it to deliver the cleartext again. That reseal happens // here, on the manager node, in TypeScript. It therefore has to produce the *identical* byte format // Go's `Open` accepts, or the host would refuse the delivery. // // **The crypto is not ours.** `tweetnacl-sealedbox-js` is `crypto_box_seal` built on the audited // TweetNaCl (`tweetnacl`) and blakejs — the same construction, and the same libraries, the mesh used // to validate this seal during Phase C. It generates the ephemeral X25519 key pair, derives the // nonce as `blake2b(ephemeralPub ‖ recipientPub, 24)`, and produces `ephemeralPub ‖ box`. That is // exactly what Go's `box.OpenAnonymous` opens: the wire format is unchanged from the hand-transcribed // version this replaces — only the implementation is now a maintained, reviewed dependency rather // than a copy of TweetNaCl and blakejs carried inline. The module runtime image bundles it // (package.json dependencies; novox/hq ADR 0052). // // **How it is kept honest.** A cross-language test seals a fixture here and opens it in Go // (mesh-controller internal/secrets/sealedbox_xcheck_test.go); the fixture is regenerated from this // `seal()`. A drift between this seal and Go's box surfaces there as a seal Go cannot open, not as a // refresh token silently mangled in production. // // This module SEALS only. It never opens — opening is the host's job, with the node private key the // module is deliberately never given. // A default import, not `{ seal }`: the library is a CommonJS UMD bundle, and Node's ESM loader // cannot statically see its named exports — only its default, which is the whole module object. import sealedbox from "tweetnacl-sealedbox-js"; const RAW_KEY_LEN = 32; /** * Seal a value to a node's public sealing key, producing what Go's `box.OpenAnonymous` opens. * * @param value the plaintext (e.g. a rotated refresh token) * @param recipientPublicB64 the node's raw 32-byte X25519 public key, standard base64 * @returns standard-base64( ephemeralPub ‖ box ) */ export function seal(value: Uint8Array, recipientPublicB64: string): string { const recipientPub = Buffer.from(recipientPublicB64, "base64"); if (recipientPub.length !== RAW_KEY_LEN) { throw new Error(`a sealing public key is 32 bytes, not ${recipientPub.length}`); } const sealed = sealedbox.seal(value, new Uint8Array(recipientPub)); return Buffer.from(sealed).toString("base64"); }
