feat(transport): anti-surveillance - UDP port-knocking + cover traffic
Two opt-in (default off) features directly targeting the kind of operator
dragnet described in the news context — make the server harder to identify
on a scan, and the traffic harder to fingerprint by volume/timing analysis.
1) Port-knocking (probe resistance, UDP)
- Wire: every HS datagram (0x01) is prefixed with a 16-byte HMAC token
when UdpOpts.knock_required is on:
knock = HMAC-SHA256(knock_key, u64_be(unix_minute))[..16]
- Server-side: validates against {now-1, now, now+1} minutes (3-minute
window for clock skew, constant-time compare). Invalid -> silent drop;
the port looks closed to scanners.
- knock_key comes from the CLI (derived from CA fingerprint at the
deployment layer); transport just consumes it.
- DATA datagrams unchanged (AEAD already proves legitimacy past hs).
2) Cover traffic (chaff, UDP)
- Optional background task per UdpConnection: every random delay
(mean_interval_ms +/- jitter, default 500ms +/- 50%) sends a
Frame::Ping{seq=random} when no Data was sent in the recent window
(idle-skip => zero overhead under load). RAII-aborted on Drop.
- Receiver answers Ping with Pong (existing logic); both are consumed
internally by recv_packet, invisible to the app.
API: UdpOpts gains knock_required/knock_key/cover_traffic_enabled/
cover_mean_interval_ms/cover_jitter (all defaults preserve v2 behavior).
Helpers exported: knock_for_minute, KNOCK_LEN.
Local deps: hmac 0.12 + sha2 0.10 (already in workspace lockfile, no new
resolution). Workspace: 185 tests passed (+11), clippy -D warnings clean,
fmt clean. 174 baseline tests unchanged.
