| * cleaned-up more questions sectionRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-121-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These questions are to some extent answered as part of our refactor, or addressed as things we are still open to think more about. I think we can leave them out for now and add them later _with answers_ if needed. I kept the privacy concerns question because that is not addressed anywhere yet. We think that the answer is "mostly none".
| * removed comments about partial enforcementRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-121-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be re-added at a later time somewhere else. It is not helpful for a reader that is trying to understand the basic design for the first time. Spotted by ln5.
| * spelled out FOSS project correctlyRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-121-3/+3
| | | | | | | | Spotted by ln5.
| * removed mention of Go modulesRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Strictly speaking the logged data structure is a checksum of a Go module. This could be confusing with the wording of this sentence.

| * keep summary session at its current locationRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-101-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't think it improves our design document by being moved. We already have a summary of properties in the introduction, and an easier primer at the start of Section 3 that is strongly coupled to Figure 1. Perhaps it is no longer necessary though. When we wrote this we did not have a summary of properties in introduction, or a relatively detailed walk-through of the log's intended usage-pattern. I'm fine with both keeping as is or deleting if it feels redundant.
| * reworked partial enforcement of verification criteriaRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-101-9/+10
| | | | | | | | | | - Expanded into two separate examples - Moved it into the verification subsection
| * refactored extended domain hint text into FAQRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-101-21/+22
| |
| * fixed small/medium issues and left some commentsLinus Nordberg2021-10-101-63/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Deleted unnecessary roadmap - Clarified distribution and verification section - Proposed down-to-the-point text for domain hint description - Left comments that we should consider addressing - A bunch of minor edits For transparency this commit was squashed and rebased by rgdd.

* updated terminology that was lagging behindRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-102-22/+24
| | | | | | | | | - s/verifier/monitor - s/claimant/signer - s/believer/verifier - s/opaque data/data - minor rewordings related to these substitutions - referenced a possible timestamp usage
* refactored services to only be a contact sessionRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-101-16/+11

* fixed rendering error on cgitRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-071-0/+1
|
* simplified website textRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-071-22/+21
| | | | | | | | More emphasis on what a sigsum log actually provides, and less emphasis on the details about how one can think about the cool use-cases that are possible on-top of a sigsum log. Just list relatable examples instead. Also fixed capitalization typos for Sigsum, "the project".
* used the same examples on website and design.mdRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-072-4/+3

* refactored Figure 1 and primer textRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-071-37/+34
| | | | | - Added anti-spam mechanism, completes figures without too much clutter - Minor rewordings that simplified description

* refactored abstract to better describe sigsum loggingRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-071-5/+8
|
* rephrased "the right data" pitchRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-072-3/+3
| | | | | | | There is a risk that "the right data" is confused with "what do you mean, obviously it is the right data if there is a valid signature". Tried just reword.
* added a major refactor of design.mdRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-051-268/+270
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The claimant model was mostly pulled from this document. It is useful to define use-cases of sigsum in a succinct way, but not helpful to tell the reader about the concrete design that we have for a sigsum log. (We still have a separate document that uses the claimant model.) This refactor also tries to remove focus from use-cases that in general are messy, and instead focus on the simple sigsum logging design that has a very well-defined and thought-through usage-pattern. The result of this is that things should be a little bit more down-to-the-point.

|
* updated claimant model examplesRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-021-64/+24
| | | | | | | | | I think the claimant model is most helpful for us to describe the different use-cases of a sigsum log. Let's focus on claimant models for use-cases in this document, not claimant models for logs _as well_. I kept R-B as an example because it is concrete, and fixed the long-due updates that GeKo pointed out a while back about, e.g., "right data".
* updated q/a sectionRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-021-24/+16
| | | | | | | - Named it FAQ - Linked pad with design things that we still consider - Cleaned notes about what we should be adding - Removed empty concluding remarks section
* updated design descriptionRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-021-18/+10
| | | | | | - Minor rephrasing and white-space changes to make raw text nicer. - Avoid using sigsum as "signed checksum" in text. Not helpful. - Removed TODO in text about Figure 2. It works without it for now.
* updated threat modelRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-021-22/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Minor rephrasing and white-space changes to make raw text nicer. - Avoid using sigsum as "signed checksum" in text. Not helpful. - Removed paragraph about risk-averse attacker. It is not needed to make our points right now. In a future revision, we should re-add this and explain why it is interesting. It would also be a good idea to then cite the two papers that z4lem mentioned a while back, see archive. - Clarified that we need a threshold of witnesses that follow the cosigning protocol for security. It is a start on addressing rohonk's comment about which parties may (not) follow protocol and why. - Emphasized that sigsum logging is only more course-grained than CT if the data is actually lost. Hence, more course-grained _in isolation_. - Added links to slow-down and split-view attacks.
* updated introductionRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-021-30/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | - Minor rephrasing and white-space changes to make raw text nicer. - Avoid using sigsum as "signed checksum" in text. Not helpful. - Replaced TPM quote example. Not easy for everyone to relate to. - Added a paragraph with examples of how our design goals are not fulfilled by CT. This starts to address Rohon's comment about having comparative study. Elaborate later on, and include more than just CT. - Pointed out that our abstract setting is not 100% claimant model. For example, the claimant model does not say much about role interaction. - Fixed missing and broken links.
* updated abstractRasmus Dahlberg2021-10-021-6/+6
| | | | | | - Avoid using sigsum as "signed checksum" in text. Not helpful. - Promise less about use-case discussion. We are not there yet. - Emphasize that we want feedback by having that on a separate line.

* don't use "X" twiceLinus Nordberg2021-10-021-1/+1
| | | | Two "X" in the same section, unrelated, can be more confusing than clarifying.
* minor wording changesLinus Nordberg2021-10-021-3/+3
| | | | | | - more than two perspectives - avoid "deployment" to refer to "log operations" - don't say "idiot"
