56 : : *
57 : : * We wish to download a peer's headers chain in a DoS-resistant way.
58 : : *
59 : : * The Bitcoin protocol does not offer an easy way to determine the work on a
60 : : * peer's chain. Currently, we can query a peer's headers by using a GETHEADERS
61 : : * message, and our peer can return a set of up to 2000 headers that connect to
62 : : * something we know. If a peer's chain has more than 2000 blocks, then we need
63 : : * a way to verify that the chain actually has enough work on it to be useful to
64 : : * us -- by being above our anti-DoS minimum-chain-work threshold -- before we
65 : : * commit to storing those headers in memory. Otherwise, it would be cheap for
66 : : * an attacker to waste all our memory by serving us low-work headers
67 : : * (particularly for a new node coming online for the first time).
68 : : *
69 : : * To prevent memory-DoS with low-work headers, while still always being
70 : : * able to reorg to whatever the most-work chain is, we require that a chain
71 : : * meet a work threshold before committing it to memory. We can do this by
72 : : * downloading a peer's headers twice, whenever we are not sure that the chain
73 : : * has sufficient work:
74 : : *
75 : : * - In the first download phase, called pre-synchronization, we can calculate
76 : : * the work on the chain as we go (just by checking the nBits value on each
77 : : * header, and validating the proof-of-work).
78 : : *
79 : : * - Once we have reached a header where the cumulative chain work is
80 : : * sufficient, we switch to downloading the headers a second time, this time
81 : : * processing them fully, and possibly storing them in memory.
82 : : *
83 : : * To prevent an attacker from using (eg) the honest chain to convince us that
84 : : * they have a high-work chain, but then feeding us an alternate set of
85 : : * low-difficulty headers in the second phase, we store commitments to the
86 : : * chain we see in the first download phase that we check in the second phase,
87 : : * as follows:
88 : : *
89 : : * - In phase 1 (presync), store 1 bit (using a salted hash function) for every
90 : : * N headers that we see. With a reasonable choice of N, this uses relatively
91 : : * little memory even for a very long chain.
92 : : *
93 : : * - In phase 2 (redownload), keep a lookahead buffer and only accept headers
94 : : * from that buffer into the block index (permanent memory usage) once they
95 : : * have some target number of verified commitments on top of them. With this
96 : : * parametrization, we can achieve a given security target for potential
97 : : * permanent memory usage, while choosing N to minimize memory use during the
98 : : * sync (temporary, per-peer storage).
