[Unreleased]
Added
- Added
foreach_key
andforeach_value
to C++ KV API, to iterate without deserializing both entries when only one is used (#2918). ccf::historical::adapter_v2
now returns 404, with eitherTransactionPendingOrUnknown
orTransactionInvalid
, rather than 400 when a user performs a historical query for a transaction id that is not committed.
Changed
- Service-endorsed node certificates are now recorded in a new
public:ccf.gov.nodes.endorsed_certificates
table, while the existingcert
field in thepublic:ccf.gov.nodes.info
table is now deprecated (#2844). - Joining nodes now present service-endorsed certificate in client TLS sessions after they have observed their own addition to the store, rather than as soon as they have joined the service. Operators should monitor the initial progress of a new node using its self-signed certificate as TLS session certificate authority (#2844).
- Updated
actions.js
constitution fragment to record service-endorsed node certificate on thetransition_node_to_trusted
action. The constitution should be updated using the existingset_constitution
proposal (#2844). - Improved performance for lookup of path-templated endpoints (#2918).
- Raised the minimum supported CMake version for building CCF to 3.16 (#2946).
Dependency
- Upgrade OpenEnclave from 0.17.1 to 0.17.2 (#2992)
[2.0.0-dev3]
Added
- Added support for listening on multiple interfaces for incoming client RPCs, with individual session caps (#2628).
Changed
- Upgrade OpenEnclave from 0.17.0 to 0.17.1.
get_state_at()
now returns receipts for signature transactions (#2785), see documentation for details.- Upgrade playbooks and base CI image to Ubuntu 20.04. CCF is now primarily developed and tested against Ubuntu 20.04.
- Python
ccf.read_ledger
module now accepts custom formatting rules for the key and value based on the key-value store table name (#2791). - CCF is now built with Clang 10. It is recommended that C++ applications upgrade to Clang 10 as well.
- Internal
/gov/jwt_keys/refresh
endpoint has been moved to/node/jwt_keys/refresh
(#2885). - If no
--san
is specified at node start-up, the node certificate Subject Alternative Name extension now defaults to the value of--public-rpc-address
(#2902).
Removed
- Remove long-deprecated
--domain
argument fromcchost
. Node certificate Subject Alternative Names should be passed in via existing--san
argument (#2798). - Removed Forum sample app.
[2.0.0-dev2]
Changed
ccf.crypto.verifySignature()
previously required DER-encoded ECDSA signatures and now requires IEEE P1363 encoded signatures, aligning with the behavior of the Web Crypto API (#2735).- Upgrade OpenEnclave from 0.16.1 to 0.17.0.
Added
- Nodes code digests are now extracted and cached at network join time in
public:ccf.gov.nodes.info
, and the/node/quotes
and/node/quotes/self
endpoints will use this cached value whenever possible (#2651).
Removed
- Websockets endpoints are no longer supported. Usage is insufficient to justify ongoing maintenance.
Bugfix
- Fixed incorrect transaction view returned in
x-ms-ccf-transaction-id
HTTP response header after primary change (i.e. new view) (#2755).
[2.0.0-dev1]
Added
- Added a new
--client-connection-timeout-ms
command line argument tocchost
to specify the maximum time a node should wait before re-establishing failed client connections. This should be set to a significantly lower value than--raft-election-timeout-ms
(#2618). - Add
kv::Value
andkv::Set
, as a more error-proof alternative tokv::Map
s which had a single key or meaningless values (#2599). - Added JavaScript bytecode caching to avoid repeated compilation overhead. See the documentation for more information (#2643).
- Added new operator RPC
/node/js_metrics
returning the JavaScript bytecode size and whether the bytecode is used (#2643). - Added QuickJS version to RPC
/node/version
(#2643). - Added
GET /gov/jwt_keys/all
endpoint (#2519). - Added
ccf.crypto.verifySignature()
for verifying digital signatures to the JavaScript API (#2661).
Changed
- CCF now responds to HTTP requests that could not be parsed with a 400 response including error details (#2652).
[2.0.0-dev0]
Added
- Added
get_untrusted_host_time_v1
API. This can be used to retrieve a timestamp during endpoint execution, accurate to within a few milliseconds. Note that this timestamp comes directly from the host so is not trusted, and should not be used to make sensitive decisions within a transaction (#2550). - Added
get_quotes_for_all_trusted_nodes_v1
API. This returns the ID and quote for all nodes which are currently trusted and participating in the service, for live audit (#2511). - Added node start-up check for
cchost
and enclave compatibility, which should both always be from the same release for a single node (#2532). - Added a new
/node/version
endpoint to return the CCF version of a node (#2582). - Added a new
/node/metrics
endpoint which includes the count of active and peak concurrent sessions handled by the node (#2596). - Added experimental JavaScript API
ccf.host.triggerSubprocess()
(#2461).
Changed
- The curve-id selected for the identity of joining nodes no longer needs to match that of the network (#2525).
- The per-node session cap behaviour has changed. The
--max-open-sessions
is now a soft cap on the number of sessions. Beyond this, new sessions will receive a HTTP 503 error immediately after completing the TLS handshake. The existing hard cap (where sessions are closed immediately, before the TLS handshake) is still available, under the new argument--max-open-sessions-hard
(#2583). - Requests with a url-encoded query string are now forwarded correctly from backups to the primary (#2587).
- Signed requests with a url-encoded query string are now handled correctly rather than rejected (#2592).
- Fixed consistency issue between ledger files on different nodes when snapshotting is active (#2607).
Dependency
- Upgrade OpenEnclave from 0.15.0 to 0.16.1 (#2609)
[1.0.4]
Changed
- CCF now responds to HTTP requests that could not be parsed with a 400 response including error details (#2652).
1.0.3
Dependency
- Upgrade OpenEnclave from 0.15.0 to 0.16.1 (#2609)
1.0.2
Bugfix
- Fixed consistency issue between ledger files on different nodes when snapshotting is active (#2607).
1.0.1
Bugfix
- Requests with a url-encoded query string are now forwarded correctly from backups to the primary (#2587).
- Signed requests with a url-encoded query string are now handled correctly rather than rejected (#2592).
1.0.0
The Confidential Consortium Framework CCF is an open-source framework for building a new category of secure, highly available, and performant applications that focus on multi-party compute and data.
This is the first long term support release for CCF. The 1.0 branch will only receive security and critical bug fixes, please see our release policy for more detail.
Active development will continue on the main
branch, and regular development snapshots including new features will continue to be published.
Browse our documentation to get started with CCF, or open a discussion on GitHub if you have any questions.
1.0.0-rc3
Changed
- Rename
Store::commit_version()
to the more accurateStore::compacted_version()
(#1355).
1.0.0-rc2
Changed
- Adjust release pipeline to cope with GitHub renaming debian packages containing tildes.
1.0.0-rc1
Changed
- By default, CCF is now installed under
/opt/ccf
rather than/opt/ccf-x.y.z
.
0.99.4
Fixed
- Fixed use of
--curve-id
argument tocchost
, which can now start a network with both node and service identities using curvesecp256r1
(#2516).
0.99.3
Added
kv::MapHandle::size()
can be used to get the number of entries in a given map.kv::MapHandle::clear()
can be used to remove all entries from a map.
0.99.2
Changed
- The default constitution no longer contains
set_service_principal
orremove_service_principal
since they are not used by the core framework. Instead any apps which wish to use these tables should add them to their own constitution. A sample implementation is available, and used in the CI tests. - Proposal status now includes a
final_votes
andvote_failures
map, recording the outcome of each vote per member.failure_reason
andfailure_trace
have been consolidated into a singlefailure
object, which is also used forvote_failures
.
0.99.1
Added
- The service certificate is now returned as part of the
/node/network/
endpoint response (#2442).
Changed
kv::Map
is now an alias tokv::JsonSerialisedMap
, which means all existing applications usingkv::Map
s will now requireDECLARE_JSON...
macros for custom key and value types.msgpack-c
is no longer available to apps andMSGPACK_DEFINE
macros should be removed. Note that this change may affect throughput of existing applications, in which case an app-defined serialiser (orkv::RawCopySerialisedMap
) should be used (#2449)./node/state
endpoint also returns theseqno
at which a node was started (i.e.seqno
of the snapshot a node started from or0
otherwise) (#2422).
Removed
/gov/query
and/gov/read
governance endpoints are removed (#2442).- Lua governance is removed.
JS_GOVERNANCE
env var is no longer necessary, and JS constitution is the only governance script which must be provided and will be used by the service.--gov-script
can no longer be passed tocchost
orsandbox.sh
.
0.99.0
This is a bridging release to simplify the upgrade to 1.0. It includes the new JS constitution, but also supports the existing Lua governance so that users can upgrade in 2 steps - first implementing all of the changes below with their existing Lua governance, then upgrading to the JS governance. Lua governance will be removed in CCF 1.0. See temporary docs for help with transitioning from Lua to JS.
The 1.0 release will require minimal changes from this release.
Added
- A new
read_ledger.py
Python command line utility was added to parse and display the content of a ledger directory. ccf-app
npm package to help with developing JavaScript and TypeScript CCF apps. See docs for further details (#2331).
Changed
- Retired members are now deleted from the store, instead of being marked as
Retired
(#1401). retire_member
proposal has been renamed toremove_member
and is now idempotent (i.e. succeeds even if the member was already removed) (#1401).accept_recovery
andopen_network
proposals have been merged into a single idempotenttransition_service_to_open
proposal (#1791).- The
/tx
endpoint now takes a singletransaction_id
query parameter. For example, rather than calling/node/tx?view=2&seqno=42
, call/node/tx?transaction_id=2.42
. - The
/commit
endpoint now returns a response with a singletransaction_id
rather than separateview
andseqno
fields. UserRpcFrontend
has been removed, and the return value ofget_rpc_handler
which apps should construct is now simply accf::RpcFrontend
.- There is now a distinction between public and private headers. The public headers under
include/ccf
are those we expect apps to use, and others are implementation details which may change/be deprecated/be hidden in future. Most apps should now be including"ccf/app_interface.h"
and"ccf/common_endpoint_registry.h"
. - Various endpoint-related types have moved under the
ccf::endpoints
namespace. Apps will need to rename these types where they are not usingauto
, for instance toccf::endpoints::EndpointContext
andccf::endpoints::ForwardingRequired
. - Ledger entry frames are no longer serialised with
msgpack
(#2343). - In JavaScript apps, the field
caller.jwt.key_issuer
in theRequest
object has been renamedcaller.jwt.keyIssuer
(#2362). - The proposals
set_module
,remove_module
andset_js_app
have been removed anddeploy_js_app
renamed toset_js_app
(#2391).
0.19.3
Changed
- The status filter passed to
/node/network/nodes
now takes the correct CamelCased values (#2238).
0.19.2
Added
- New
get_user_data_v1
andget_member_data_v1
C++ API calls have been added to retrieve the data associated with users/members. The user/member data is no longer included in theAuthnIdentity
caller struct (#2301). - New
get_user_cert_v1
andget_member_cert_v1
C++ API calls have been added to retrieve the PEM certificate of the users/members. The user/member certificate is no longer included in theAuthnIdentity
caller struct (#2301).
Changed
- String values in query parameters no longer need to be quoted. For instance, you should now call
/network/nodes?host=127.0.0.1
rather than/network/nodes?host="127.0.0.1"
(#2309). - Schema documentation for query parameters should now be added with
add_query_parameter
, rather thanset_auto_schema
. TheIn
type ofset_auto_schema
should only be used to describe the request body (#2309). json_adapter
will no longer try to convert query parameters to a JSON object. The JSON passed as an argument to these handlers will now be populated only by the request body. The query string should be parsed separately, andhttp::parse_query(s)
is added as a starting point. This means strings in query parameters no longer need to be quoted (#2309).- Enum values returned by built-in REST API endpoints are now PascalCase. Lua governance scripts that use enum values need to be updated as well, for example,
"ACTIVE"
becomes"Active"
for member info. The same applies when using the/gov/query
endpoint (#2152). - Most service tables (e.g. for nodes and signatures) are now serialised as JSON instead of msgpack. Some tables (e.g. user and member certificates) are serialised as raw bytes for performance reasons (#2301).
- The users and members tables have been split into
public:ccf.gov.users.certs
/public:ccf.gov.users.info
andpublic:ccf.gov.members.certs
/public:ccf.gov.members.encryption_public_keys
/public:ccf.gov.members.info
respectively (#2301). - TypeScript interface/class names have been renamed to PascalCase (#2325).
0.19.1
Added
- Historical point query support has been added to JavaScript endpoints (#2285).
- RSA key generation JavaScript endpoint (#2293).
Changed
"readonly"
has been replaced by"mode"
inapp.json
in JavaScript apps (#2285).
0.19.0
Changed
x-ccf-tx-view
andx-ccf-tx-seqno
response headers have been removed, and replaced withx-ms-ccf-transaction-id
. This includes both original fields, separated by a single.
. Historical queries usingccf::historical::adapter
should also pass a single combinedx-ms-ccf-transaction-id
header (#2257).- Node unique identifier is now the hex-encoded string of the SHA-256 digest of the node's DER-encoded identity public key, which is also used as the node's quote report data. The
sandbox.sh
script still uses incrementing IDs to keep track of nodes and for their respective directories (#2241). - Members and users unique identifier is now the hex-encoded string of the SHA-256 digest of their DER-encoded identity certificate (i.e. fingerprint), which has to be specified as the
keyId
field for signed HTTP requests (#2279). - The receipt interface has changed,
/app/receipt?commit=23
is replaced by/app/receipt?transaction_id=2.23
. Receipt fetching is now implemented as a historical query, which means that the first reponse(s) may be 202 with a Retry-After header. Receipts are now structured JSON, as opposed to a flat byte sequence, and/app/receipt/verify
has been removed in favour of an offline verification sample. ccfapp::get_rpc_handler()
now takes a reference to accf::AbstractNodeContext
rather thanccf::AbstractNodeState
. The node state can be obtained from the context viaget_node_state()
.
Removed
get_receipt_for_seqno_v1
has been removed. Handlers wanting to return receipts must now use the historical API, and can obtain a receipt viaccf::historical::StatePtr
. See the historical query with receipt sample for reference.caller_id
endpoint has been removed. Members and users can now compute their unique identifier without interacting with CCF (#2279).public:ccf.internal.members.certs_der
,public:ccf.internal.users.certs_der
,public:ccf.internal.members.digests
andpublic:ccf.internal.users.digests
KV tables have been removed (#2279).view_change_in_progress
field innetwork/status
response has been removed (#2288).
0.18.5
Changed
- Historical query system now supports range queries.
0.18.4
Changed
- Governance proposals can be submitted successfully against secondaries (#2247)
set_ca_cert
/remove_ca_cert
proposals have been renamedset_ca_cert_bundle
/remove_ca_cert_bundle
and now also accept a bundle of certificates encoded as concatenated PEM string (#2221). Theca_cert_name
parameter to theset_jwt_issuer
proposal has been renamed toca_cert_bundle_name
.
Added
- Support for multiple key wrapping algorithms for C++ and JavaScript applications (#2246)
0.18.3
Changed
- Fixed format of
notBefore
andnotAfter
in node and network certificates (#2243). - CCF now depends on Open Enclave 0.14.
0.18.2
Added
- Support for historical queries after ledger rekey and service recovery (#2200).
Changed
- CCF now supports OpenSSL for many crypto tasks like hashing, signing, and signature verification (#2123).
- In progress ledger files no longer cause a node to crash when they are committed (#2209).
0.18.1
Changed
"id"
field instate
endpoint response has been renamed to"node_id"
(#2150).user_id
endpoint is renamedcaller_id
(#2142).- Nodes' quotes format updated to Open Enclave's
SGX_ECDSA
. Quote endorsements are also stored in CCF and can be retrieved via thequotes/self
andquotes
endpoints (#2161). get_quote_for_this_node_v1()
takes aQuoteInfo
structure (containing the format, raw quote and corresponding endorsements) as out parameter instead of the distinct format and raw quote as two out paramters (#2161).- Several internal tables are renamed (#2166).
/node/network/nodes
correctly returns all nodes if no filter is specified (#2188).
0.18.0
Changed
endpoint_metrics
is renamedapi/metrics
and now returns an array of objects instead of nested path/method objects (#2068).- Governance proposal ids are now digests of the proposal and store state observed during their creation, hex-encoded as strings. This makes votes entirely specific to an instance of a proposal without having to include a nonce. (#2104, #2135).
quote
endpoint has been renamed toquotes/self
(#2149).TxView
s have been renamed toMapHandle
s, to clearly distinguish them from consensus views. Calls totx.get_view
must be replaced withtx.rw
.tx.rw
does not support retrieving multiple views in a single call. Instead ofauto [view1, view2] = tx.get_view(map1, map2);
, you must writeauto handle1 = tx.rw(map1); auto handle2 = tx.rw(map2);
.
Added
- Added
get_version_of_previous_write(const K& k)
toMapHandle
. If this entry was written to by a previous transaction, this returns the version at which that transaction was applied. See docs for more details.
Removed
- The
x-ccf-global-commit
header is no longer sent with responses (#1586, #2144). This was a hint of global commit progress, but was known to be imprecise and unrelated to the executed transaction. Instead, clients should call/commit
to monitor commit progress or/tx
for a specific transaction.
0.17.2
Fixed
- Fixed incorrect ledger chunking on backup nodes when snapshotting is enabled (#2110).
0.17.1
Changed
- JS endpoints now list their auth policies by name, similar to C++ endpoints. The fields
require_client_identity
,require_client_signature
, andrequire_jwt_authentication
are removed, and should be replaced byauthn_policies
. For example, the previous default"require_client_identity": true
should be replaced with"authn_policies": ["user_cert"]
, an endpoint which would like to handle a JWT but will also accept unauthenticated requests would be"authn_policies": ["jwt", "no_auth"]
, and a fully unauthenticated endpoint would be"authn_policies": []
. See docs for further detail.
0.17.0
Added
- Versioned APIs for common CCF functionality:
get_status_for_txid_v1
,get_last_committed_txid_v1
,generate_openapi_document_v1
,get_receipt_for_seqno_v1
,get_quote_for_this_node_v1
. We will aim to support these function signatures long-term, and provide similar functionality with incremental version bumps when this is no longer possible. In particular, this enables building an app which does not expose the default endpoints but instead exposes similar functionality through its own API.
Changed
/network
,/network_info
,/node/ids
,/primary_info
have been restructured into/network
,/network/nodes
,/network/nodes/{id}
,/network/nodes/self
,/network/nodes/primary
while also changing the response schemas (#1954)./ack
responds with HTTP status204
now instead of200
andtrue
as body (#2088)./recovery_share
has new request and response schemas (#2089).
0.16.3
Changed
- To avoid accidentally unauthenticated endpoints, a vector of authentication policies must now be specified at construction (as a new argument to
make_endpoint
) rather than by callingadd_authentication
. The valueccf::no_auth_required
must be used to explicitly indicate an unauthenticated endpoint. - All
/gov
endpoints accept signature authentication alone correctly, regardless of session authentication. ccf.CCFClient
now allows separatesession_auth
andsigning_auth
to be passed as construction time.ccf.CCFClient.call()
no longer takes asigned
argument, clients with asigning_auth
always sign. Similarly, thedisable_session_auth
constructor argument is removed, the same effect can be achieved by settingsession_auth
toNone
.
0.16.2
Changed
- Snapshots are generated by default on the current primary node, every
10,000
committed transaction (#2029). - Node information exposed in the API now correctly reports the public port when it differs from the local one. (#2001)
- All
/gov
endpoints accept signature authentication again. Read-only/gov
endpoints had been incorrectly changed in 0.16.1 to accept session certification authentication only (#2033).
0.16.1
Added
- C++ endpoints can be omitted from OpenAPI with
set_openapi_hidden(true)
(#2008). - JS endpoints can be omitted from OpenAPI if the
"openapi_hidden"
field inapp.json
istrue
(#2008).
Changed
- Error responses of built-in endpoints are now JSON and follow the OData schema (#1919).
- Code ids are now deleted rather than marked as
RETIRED
.ACTIVE
is replaced with the more preciseALLOWED_TO_JOIN
(#1996). - Authentication policies can be specified per-endpoint with
add_authentication
. Sample policies are implemented which check for a user TLS handshake, a member TLS handshake, a user HTTP signature, a member HTTP signature, and a valid JWT. This allows multiple policies per-endpoints, and decouples auth from frontends - apps can define member-only endpoints (#2010). - By default, if no authentication policy is specified, endpoints are now unauthenticated and accessible to anyone (previously the default was user TLS handshakes, where the new default is equivalent to
set_require_client_identity(false)
). - CCF now depends on Open Enclave 0.13.
Removed
- The methods
Endpoint::set_require_client_signature
,Endpoint::set_require_client_identity
andEndpoint::set_require_jwt_authentication
are removed, and should be replaced by calls toadd_authentication
. For unauthenticated endpoints, either add no policies, or add the built-inempty_auth
policy which accepts all requests..set_require_client_signature(true)
must be replaced with.add_authentication(user_signature_auth_policy)
.set_require_client_identity(true)
must be replaced with.add_authentication(user_cert_auth_policy)
.set_require_jwt_authentication(true)
must be replaced with.add_authentication(jwt_auth_policy)
0.16.0
Added
- CLI options are printed on every node launch (#1923).
- JS logging sample app is included in CCF package (#1932).
- C++ apps can be built using cmake's
find_package(ccf REQUIRED)
(see cmake sample) (#1947).
Changed
- JWT signing keys are auto-refreshed immediately when adding a new issuer instead of waiting until the next auto-refresh event is due (#1978).
- Snapshots are only committed when proof of snapshot evidence is committed (#1972).
- Snapshot evidence must be validated before joining/recovering from snapshot (see doc) (#1925).
Fixed
- Ledger index is recovered correctly even if
--ledger-dir
directory is empty (#1953). - Memory leak fixes (#1957, #1959, #1974, #1982).
- Consensus fixes (#1977, #1981).
- Enclave schedules messages in a fairer way (#1991).
Security
- Hostname of TLS certificate is checked when auto-refreshing JWT signing keys (#1934).
- Evercrypt update to 0.3.0 (#1967).
0.15.2
Added
- JWT key auto-refresh (#1908), can be enabled by providing
"auto_refresh": true
and"ca_cert_name": "..."
inset_jwt_issuer
proposal.- Auto-refresh is currently only supported for providers following the OpenID Connect standard where keys are published under the
/.well-known/openid-configuration
path of the issuer URL. ca_cert_name
refers to a certificate stored with aset_ca_cert
proposal and is used to validate the TLS connection to the provider endpoint.
- Auto-refresh is currently only supported for providers following the OpenID Connect standard where keys are published under the
- JWT signature validation (#1912), can be enabled with the
require_jwt_authentication
endpoint property.
Changed
- Members can no longer vote multiple times on governance proposals (#1743).
update_ca_cert
proposal has been replaced byset_ca_cert
/remove_ca_cert
(#1917).
Deprecated
set_js_app
proposal and--js-app-script
argument are deprecated, and should be replaced bydeploy_js_app
and--js-app-bundle
. See #1895 for an example of converting from the old style (JS embedded in a Lua script) to the new style (app bundle described byapp.json
).
Removed
kv::Store::create
is removed.luageneric
is removed.
0.15.1
Added
- JWT documentation (#1875).
- Member keys in HSM documentation (#1884).
Changed
/gov/ack/update_state_digest
and/gov/ack
now only return/accept a hex string (#1873)./node/quote
schema update (#1885).- AFT consensus improvements (#1880, #1881).
0.15.0
Added
- Support for non-recovery members: only members with an associated public encryption key are handed recovery shares (#1866).
- AFT consensus verify entry validity (#1864).
- JWT validation in forum sample app (#1867).
- JavaScript endpoints OpenAPI definition is now included in
/api
(#1874).
Changed
- The
keyId
field in the Authorization header must now be set to the hex-encoded SHA-256 digest of the corresponding member certificate encoded in PEM format. Thescurl.sh
script and Python client have been modified accordingly.scurl.sh
can be run withDISABLE_CLIENT_AUTH=1
(equivalentdisable_client_auth=False
argument to Python client) to issue signed requests without session-level client authentication (#1870). - Governance endpoints no longer require session-level client authentication matching a member identity, the request signature now serves as authentication. The purpose of this change is to facilitate member key storage in systems such as HSMs (#1870).
- Support for hs2019 scheme for HTTP signatures (#1872).
ecdsa-sha256
scheme will be deprecated in the next release.
0.14.3
Added
- Added support for storing JWT public signing keys (#1834).
- The new proposals
set_jwt_issuer
,remove_jwt_issuer
, andset_jwt_public_signing_keys
can be generated with the latest version of the ccf Python package. sandbox.sh
has a new--jwt-issuer <json-path>
argument to easily bootstrap with an initial set of signing keys using theset_jwt_issuer
proposal.- See
tests/npm-app/src/endpoints/jwt.ts
for validating tokens received in theAuthorization
HTTP header in TypeScript. - Includes special support for SGX-attested signing keys as used in MAA.
- The new proposals
Changed
- CCF now depends on Open Enclave 0.12 (#1830).
/app/user_id
now takes{"cert": user_cert_as_pem_string}
rather than{"cert": user_cert_as_der_list_of_bytes}
(#278).- Members' recovery shares are now encrypted using RSA-OAEP-256 (#1841). This has the following implications:
- Network's encryption key is no longer output by the first node of a CCF service is no longer required to decrypt recovery shares.
- The latest version of the
submit_recovery_share.sh
script should be used. - The latest version of the
proposal_generator.py
should be used (please upgrade the ccf Python package).
submit_recovery_share.sh
script's--rpc-address
argument has been removed. The node's address (e.g.https://127.0.0.1:8000
) should be used directly as the first argument instead (#1841).- The constitution's
pass
function now takes an extra argument:proposer_id
, which contains themember_id
of the member who submitted the proposal. To adjust for this change, replacetables, calls, votes = ...
withtables, calls, votes, proposer_id = ...
at the beginning of thepass
definition. - Bundled votes (ie. the
ballot
entry inPOST /proposals
) have been removed. Votes can either happen explicitly viaPOST /proposals/{proposal_id}/votes
, or the constitution may choose to pass a proposal without separate votes by examining its contents and its proposer, as illustrated in the operating member constitution sample. The--vote-against
flag inproposal_generator.py
, has also been removed as a consequence.
Fixed
- Added
tools.cmake
to the install, whichccf_app.cmake
depends on and was missing from the previous release.
Deprecated
kv::Store::create
is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. It is no longer necessary to create akv::Map
from aStore
, it can be constructed locally (kv::Map<K, V> my_map("my_map_name");
) or accessed purely by name (auto view = tx.get_view<K, V>("my_map_name");
) (#1847).
0.14.2
Changed
- The
start_test_network.sh
script has been replaced bysandbox.sh
. Users wishing to override the default network config (a single node on '127.0.0.1:8000') must now explictly specify if they should be started locally (eg.-n 'local://127.4.4.5:7000'
) or on remote machine via password-less ssh (eg.-n 'ssh://10.0.0.1:6000'
). node/quote
endpoint now returns a single JSON object containing the node's quote (#1761).- Calling
foreach
on aTxView
now iterates over the entries which previously existed, ignoring any modifications made by the functor while iterating. - JS:
ccf.kv.<map>.get(key)
returnsundefined
instead of throwing an exception ifkey
does not exist. - JS:
ccf.kv.<map>.delete(key)
returnsfalse
instead of throwing an exception ifkey
does not exist, andtrue
instead ofundefined
otherwise. - JS:
ccf.kv.<map>.set(key, val)
returns the map object instead ofundefined
.
0.14.1
Added
/node/memory
endpoint exposing the maximum configured heap size, peak and current used sizes.
Changed
- Public tables in the KV must now indicate this in their name (with a
public:
prefix), and internal tables have been renamed. Any governance or auditing scripts which operate over internal tables must use the new names (eg -ccf.members
is nowpublic:ccf.gov.members
). --member-info
oncchost
can now take a third, optional file path to a JSON file containing additional member data (#1712).
Removed
/api/schema
endpoints are removed, as the same information is now available in the OpenAPI document at/api
.
Deprecated
- Passing the
SecurityDomain
when creating a KV map is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. This should be encoded in the table's name, with apublic:
prefix for public tables.
0.14.0
Added
- Nodes can recover rapidly from a snapshot, rather than needing to reprocess an entire ledger (#1656)

0.11.1
Added
- CLI tool for managing recovery shares (#1295). usage
- New standard endpoint
node/ids
for retrieving node ID from IP address (#1319). - Support for read-only transactions. Use
tx.get_read_only_view
to retrieve read-only views, and install withmake_read_only_endpoint
if all operations are read-only. - Support for distinct handlers on the same URI. Each installed handler/endpoint is now associated with a single HTTP method, so you can install different operations on
POST /foo
andGET /foo
.
Changed
- The frontend names, used as a prefix on all URIs, have been changed. Calls to
/members/...
or/users/...
should be replaced with/gov/...
and/app/...
respectively. The old paths will return HTTP redirects in this release, but may return 404 in a future release (#1325). - App-handler installation API has changed.
install(URI, FN, READWRITE)

- Member ACKs are required, even when the service is opening (#1318).
- The naming scheme for releases has changed to be more consistent. The tags will now be in the form
ccf-X.Y.Z
.
0.11
Changed
- KV reorganisation to enable app-defined serialisation (#1179, #1216, #1234)
kv.h
has been split into multiple headers so apps may need to add includes for kv/store.h
and kv/tx.h
. The typedefs ccf::Store
and ccf::Tx
have been removed; apps should now use kv::Store
and kv::Tx
.
CCF now deals internally only with serialised data in its tables, mapping byte-vectors to byte-vectors. By default all tables will convert their keys and values to msgpack, using the existing macros for user-defined types. Apps may define custom serialisers for their own types - see kv/serialise_entry_json.h
for an example.
- Fixed issues that affected the accuracy of tx status reporting (#1157, #1150)
- All RPCs and external APIs now use
view
andseqno
to describe the components of a transaction ID, regardless of the specific consensus implementation selected (#1187, #1227) - Improved resiliency of recovery process (#1051)
foreach
early-exit semantics are now consistent (#1222)- Third party dependency updates (#1144, #1148, #1149, #1151, #1155, #1255)

- Consensus is chosen at run-time, rather than build-time (#922).
- API for installing handlers has changed (#960). See the logging app or documentation for the current style.
- Several standard endpoints are now GET-only, and must be passed a URL query (ie

are attached to this release. Note that libluagenericenc.so should be signed before being deployed by CCF (see https://microsoft.github.io/CCF/developers/build_app.html#standalone-signing).
0.5
This pre-release fixes minor issues and clarifies some of cchost
command line options.
Removed
- The
new_user
function in constitution scripts (e.g.gov.lua
) should be deleted as it is now directly implemented inside CCF (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/550). cmake -DTARGET=all
replaced withcmake -DTARGET=sgx;virtual
. See https://microsoft.github.io/CCF/quickstart/build.html#build-switches for new values (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/513).
Changed
- The members and users certificates can now be registered by the consortium using clients that are not the
memberclient
CLI (e.g. using thetests/infra/jsonrpc.py
module) (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/550). - Fix for Raft consensus to truncate the ledger whenever a rollback occurs and use
commit_idx
instead oflast_idx
in many places because of signatures (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/503). - Join protocol over HTTP fix (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/550).
- Clearer error messages for when untrusted users/members issue transactions to CCF (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/530).
devcontainer.json
now points to right Dockerfile (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/543).cchost --raft-election-timeout
CLI option default now set to 5000 ms (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/559).- Better descriptions for
cchost
command line options (e.g.--raft-election-timeout
) (https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/pull/559).
The cchost
, libluagenericenc.so
, keygenerator
and memberclient
are also attached to this release to start a CCF network with lua application.
Note that libluagenericenc.so
should be signed before being deployed by CCF (see https://microsoft.github.io/CCF/developers/build_app.html#standalone-signing).
0.4
In this preview release, it is possible to run CCF with the PBFT consensus algorithm, albeit with significant limitations.
The evercrypt submodule has been removed, the code is instead imported, to make release tarballs easier to use.
0.3
This pre-release implements the genesis model described in the TR, with a distinct service opening phase. See https://microsoft.github.io/CCF/start_network.html for details.
Some discrepancies with the TR remain, and are being tracked under https://github.com/microsoft/CCF/milestone/2
