Email alert configuration

In order to send email alerts, AttestationServer needs to be configured with valid credentials for an SMTP server. The configuration is stored in the Configuration table in the database and can be safely modified while the server is running to have it kick in for the next email alert cycle.

Only SMTPS (SMTP over TLS) with a valid certificate is supported. STARTTLS is deliberately not supported because it's less secure. The username must also be the full address for sending emails.

For example, making an initial configuration:

sqlite3 attestation.db "INSERT INTO Configuration VALUES ('emailUsername', '[email protected]'), ('emailPassword', '<password>'), ('emailHost', 'smtp.fastmail.com'), ('emailPort', '465')"

API for the Auditor app

QR code

The scanned QR code contains space-separated values in plain-text: <domain> <userId> <subscribeKey> <verifyInterval>. The subscribeKey should be treated as an opaque string rather than assuming base64 encoding. Additional fields may be added in the future.

/challenge

• Request method: POST
• Request headers: n/a
• Request body: n/a
• Response body:

Returns a standard challenge message in the same format as the Auditor app QR code. The challenge can only be used once and expires in 1 minute.

The server challenge index is always zeroed out and the userId should be used instead.

/verify

• Request method: POST
• Request headers:

The Authorization header needs to be set to Auditor <userId> <subscribeKey> for an unpaired attestation. That will also work for a paired attestation if the subscribeKey matches, but it should be set to Auditor <userId> to allow for subscribeKey rotation.

• Request body:

Standard attestation message in the same format as the Auditor app QR code.

• Response body:

Returns space-separated values in plain text: <subscribeKey> <verifyInterval>. Additional fields may be added in the future.
