Directory Services: V 3.27.2018

Purpose:

The purpose of the Directory Service API is to provide a backup system for a program (or user) to learn the names or IP addresses of the RAIDA servers so they can be contacted. The Directory Service may provide the RAIDA contact information in a different (and yet uninvented) format if convenient to the application. In other words, a separate, non-JSON service could easily be created. A dynamic RAIDA Directory is planned for the future but may not be necessary for years. THE DIRECTORY SERVICE HAS YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

For network 1, the default locations that can be tried first, before accessing the directory. The names are case insensitive. are:

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global

...

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global

For future networks (should network multiplication occur), the names of the servers will have a default names such as RAIDA0_Net2 through RAIDA24_Net2, where Net2 means they are on network 2.

Default Names:

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global

...

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global

Directory Request:

The client uses HTTPS to GET the directory page located on different servers. Note that directory uses extension-less urls.

Example of a Directory Request:

//www.cloudcoin.global/servers.html

A test directory can be found at:

//www.cloudcoin.co/servers.html

Directory Response:

The server returns a JSON string that describes the URLs of the RAIDAs, the status, the milliseconds required to contact, and a port to use.

Example of a Directory Response:

KEY

  • network: There may be many networks as the CloudCoins split.
  • nn: Network number. Now there is only one.
  • raida: list of all the RAIDA in the network
  • raida_index: A number between 0 and 24.
  • failsEcho: Answers the question: Does this RAIDA's echo service work? true or false
  • failsDetect: Answers the question: Does this RAIDA's detection service work? true or false
  • failsFix: Answers the question: Does this RAIDA's fix service work? true or false
  • failsTicket: Answers the question: Does this RAIDA's ticket service work? true or false
  • location: The country code of the country that the RAIDA cloud is primarily located. Use the list of top-level domain codes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains
  • Url: The Fully Qualified Domain name of the Server (There may be more than one if the RAIDA has backups
  • milliseconds: Milliseconds. Time to echo. Gives an idea how fast that URL is.
  • Location: Where or who runs the RAIDA
  • port: Port number the RAIDA is using. Usually, 80 or 443 but could be something different.

Rules

The Directory Service may not respond if it is unavailable.

It is possible to add backup - or secondary - RAIDA by adding items with the same "URL" to the URLs directory. Then, RAIDA with the smallest ms, could be contacted first. The Directory may be cached in case it becomes unavailable or even hard coded in an application as a backup for fault tolerance.

The values are case-insensitive and should be compared accordingly.

All the services use extensionless URLs but here we start with .html

Typically, the ms (milliseconds required to contact) and the status are to be determined by the client using the Echo Service.

Echo Service V 3.27.2017

Purpose:

The purpose of the echo API is to allow a program (or user) to establish that a RAIDA is ready to detect the authenticity of CloudCoins and how many milliseconds the contact requires.

The client sends the RAIDA an Echo-Request, and the RAIDA will respond with an Echo Response.

Echo Request:

The client uses HTTPS and GET method for the echo URL located in the service folder on the RAIDA server.

Echo Request Example:

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global/service/echo

Echo Response Example:

Server returns a Response Object using JSON that describes the name of the server, the status, a message, and a timestamp:

 

{

 "server":"RAIDA0",

 "status":"ready",

 "message":"Execution Time (milliseconds) = 2.3751258850098",

 "time":"2018-03-28 02:14:43"

}

 

Rules:

  • The RAIDA may not respond if it is unavailable.
  • All Return Objects' key values are case insensitive and should be compared accordingly.
  • The names of the servers on Network 1 will always be one of 25 servers: RAIDA0 through RAIDA24. Note: server names are case-insensitive and should be compared accordingly.
  • In the future, if Doubling occurs, the names of the servers will have a network extension such as RAIDA0Net2 through RAIDA24Net2, where Net2 means they are on network 2.
  • The status will always be ready; otherwise, it will return an error. See General Errors.
  • The message will always be divided into two parts with a colon: The Subject and the Details.
  • The subject of the echo response will always be "Up," and the details will always be "Detection agent ready to detect authenticity." otherwise, it will return an error. See General Errors.
  • The time is in GMT.

Echo Service Brief Mode V 3.27.17

Purpose:

Brief mode allows for a shorter "ready" response. The RAIDA would only return one word. The hope is that it would use less bandwidth and maybe faster.

Echo Request:

The client uses HTTPS to GET the echo page located in the service file on the RAIDA server. An extra "b=t" is added at the end of the request. It means brief=true.

Echo Request Example:

https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global/service/echo?b=t

Echo Response Example:

ready

Echo DA (Detection Agent) Service Version 5/31/2019

Purpose

The echo Detection Agent service allows us to learn if each individual detection agent within a RAIDA is up and running.

Echo Request Example:

https://RAIDA11.CloudCoin.Global/service/echo_da?da=3&utr=false.

The "da" is a number between 1 and 32 (Or perhaps 0 and 31) that represents the Detection Agent Number.

The "utr" means uptime robot. If it is set to true, then the service will not respond if the Detection Agent is offline. This will allow the uptime robot to tell if the service is up or not.

Echo Response Example:

Server returns a Response Object using JSON that describes the name of the server, the status, a message, and a timestamp:

Sample Response if the DA is up and working:

{ "server":"RAIDA11", "da":"3", "status":"ready", "message":"Execution Time (milliseconds) = 2.3751258850098", "time":"2018-03-28 02:14:43" }

Sample Response if the DA is down and does not respond and utr is set to "false":

{ "server":"RAIDA11", "da":"3", "status":"offline", "message":"Execution Time (milliseconds) = 2.3751258850098", "time":"2018-03-28 02:14:43" }

Sample Response if the DA is down and does not respond and utr is set to "true":

/* There will be no response if utr=true */

Sample Response if the RAIDA does not use Sentinel/DAs:

{ "server":"RAIDA11", "da":"3", "status":"ready", "message":"Execution Time (milliseconds) = 2.3751258850098", "time":"2018-03-28 02:14:43" }

Detection Service V 5.5.17

Purpose:

The purpose of the Detect API is to allow the program or user to change the Authenticity Number in the RAIDA to a Proposed Authenticity Number so that ownership change of CloudCoin is possible.

Detection Request:

The program sends the RAIDA server an HTTPS GET request, including the NN (network number), SN (Serial Number), AN (Authenticity Number), PAN(Proposed Authenticity Number) and Denomination of the CloudCoin that is to change ownership. The SN and the Denomination are like the CloudCoin's username.The AN is like the CloudCoins' password. The PAN is like a new password.

Detection Request Example:

https://RAIDA20.cloudcoin.global/service/detect?nn=1&sn=1&an=1836843d928347fb22c2142b49d772b5&pan=1836843d928347fb22c2142b49d772b5&denomination=1

Detection Response:

The server returns a Response Object using JSON that describes the name of the server, the status, a message, and a time stamp.

Detection Response Example If Passed:

{

  "server":"RAIDA1",

  "status":"pass",

  "sn":"1",

  "nn":"1",

  "message":"Authentic:1 is an authentic 1-unit. Your Proposed Authenticity Number is now the new Authenticate Number. Update your file.",

  "time":"2016-44-19 7:44:PM"

}

 

Note that the 1 after the word Authentic: is the serial number of the unit that was tested.

Detection Response Example If failed to authenticate:

 

Detection Response Example If failed to authenticate:

{

  "server":"RAIDA1",

  "status":"fail",

  "sn":"1",

  "nn":"1",

  "message":"Counterfeit: The unit failed to authenticate on this server. You may need to fix it on other servers.",

  "time":"2016-44-19 7:44:PM"

}

 

Detection Response Example If failed because the denomination of the coin is not its real denomination (Someone is trying to falsify the denomination):

{"server":"RAIDA1","status":"fail","sn":"1","nn":"1""message":"Denomination: The item you are authenticating is a 250 units. However, the request was for a 25 units. Someone may be trying to pass you a money unit that is not of the true value ","time":"2016-11-21 9:11:PM"}

If failed because of missing or out-of-range GET NN parameter:

{"server":"RAIDA1","status":"error","message":"NN: The unit's network number was out of range or not on this server.","time":"2016-15-21 9:15:PM"}

If failed because of missing or out-of-range GET SN parameter:

{"server":"RAIDA1","status":"error","message":"SN: The unit's serial number was out of range.","time":"2016-15-21 9:15:PM"}

If failed because of missing or out-of-range GET Denomination parameter:

{"server":"RAIDA1","status":"error","message":"Denomination: The unit's Denomination was out of range.","time":"2016-04-21 9:04:PM"}

If failed because of missing or out-of-range GET PAN parameter:

{"server":"RAIDA1","status":"error","message":"PAN: The unit's Proposed Authenticity Number was out of range.","time":"2016-06-21 9:06:PM"}

If failed because of missing or out-of-range GET AN parameter:

{"server":"RAIDA1","status":"error","message":"AN: The unit's Authenticity Number was out of range.","time":"2016-07-21 9:07:PM"}

Otherwise, Detect should return a General Error

Detection Service Brief:

The RAIDA responds with one word. A b=t is added to the GET request. Brief = True;

Detection Request Example in Brief Mode:

https://RAIDA20.cloudcoin.global/service/detect?nn=1&sn=1&an=1836843d928347fb22c2142b49d772b5&pan=1836843d928347fb22c2142b49d772b5&denomination=1&b=t

Detection Response Example in Brief Mode: The server returns one word, either pass, fail, or error.

Fix Process:

Purpose:

The purpose of the Fix API is to allow the program or user to repair "fractured" CloudCoins. A fractured CloudCoin is a CloudCoin that has some RAIDA servers failing authenticity. The CloudCoin owners can request that the fractured server ask its trusted servers (Neighbors) to vouch for them. A RAIDA that is fracked requires four neighbor servers to vouch for CloudCoin in order to self-repair There are four combinations of servers that the each RAIDA will trust. They will trust the four "corners". Or, any five neighboring servers can be called to vouch for the CloudCoin being authentic.

Circle of Trust with 4 Trusted Servers

Shows the servers that RAIDA 0 will trust in order to repair. There are four different combinations (called corners) that are acceptable to the RAIDA for fixing. Each represented by a different color.

ring of all the 25 RAIDA

Ticket Service

Trusted Server Identification:

The program or user that has the fractured CloudCoin will identify the fractured RAIDA's trusted servers.

Rules:

Ticket Request:

The client makes a Detect requiest to a four or five trusted servers. Note that separate requests are needed to separate RAIDAs.

Ticket Request Examples of a POST attempt to fix a fractured RAIDA1:

            https://RAIDA0.CloudCoin.Global/service/multi_detect

			nn=1&
			corner=1&
			pan=9f70f199f0844df2bd6e607620002cbf&

			sn[]=145895&sn[]=66585&sn[]=16589554


RESPONSE:
	If all the coins were authentic:
				{
					"server": "RAIDA11",
					"status": "allpass",
					"message": "All the coins were authentic",
					"version": "2020-04-13",
					"time": "2020-04-18 22:57:55"
				}
			
	If all the coins were counterfeit:
				{
					"server": "RAIDA11",
					"status": "allfail",
					"message": "All the coins were counterfeit",
					"version": "2020-04-13",
					"time": "2020-04-18 22:57:55"
				 }
			
	If some of the coins were counterfeit and other authentic:
				 {
					"server": "RAIDA11",
					"status": "mixed",
					"message": "pass,pass,fail",
					"version": "2020-04-13",
					"time": "2020-04-18 22:57:55"
				 }


        
You may ask for a "master ticket" that will work of all the RAIDA SNs that you need to fix.

Ticket Response:

The client will receive a "ticket" from each RAIDA that authenticates the Detec Request. The ticket is exactly 44 characters in length and is a random and secret hexadecimal number. By default, the RAIDA servers will only honor a ticket that is less than 15 seconds old, but each RAIDA Administrator can change this amount.

Note that the "message" from the Ticket Response is not divided into subject and details when it returns a ticket.

Example Ticket: 23a399c5358fe88be678c45fa65747c81d31293cf44c

Ticket Response if successful:

{

 "server":"RAIDA2",

 "status":"ticket",

 "sn":"1",

 "nn":"1",

 "message":"23a399c5358fe88be678c45fa65747c81d31293cf44c",

 "time":"2016-40-21 10:40:PM"

}

 

The Ticket fails are identical to the Detection fails

Fix Service

Fix Request:

The fix request combines the outcomes of three ticket requests to send to the fractured RAIDA. The tickets must come from three of the corner servers.

Fix Request Example attempting to fix RAIDA1:

https://raida1.cloudcoin.global/service/fix?fromserver1=0&message1=4aa2b02d3d2279216009cfcdd8a04b46b24835f63632 &fromserver2=2&message2=5ce45a6141ac9cb00233b11a900ea5302e9745051659&fromserver3=4&message3=23e45a6141ac9cb00233b11a900ea5302e9745051659&pan=E9611BF6FCBB1CB58CB62A5FC24A4B39

Fix Response: The fix response tells the client if the fix attempt was successful or failed.

Fix Response Example If success in repairing the fractured RAIDA:

Multi Fix Process:

Purpose:

NOTE: The purpose of the Multi Fix API is to allow the program or user to repair "fractured" CloudCoins many at a time. A fractured CloudCoin is a CloudCoin that has some RAIDA servers failing authenticity. The CloudCoin owners can request that the fractured server ask its trusted servers (Neighbors) to vouch for them. By default, each RAIDA requires three servers (but will change to four servers) to vouch for CloudCoin in order to self-repair. There are four combinations of servers that the each RAIDA will trust. They will trust the three "corner" RAIDA on any of their four corners. With the numbers arranged in a circle like a clock, and the RAIDA being repaired being zero, the three servers needed to trust are -1.-5.-6 OR +1, -4, -5 OR -1, +4, +5 OR +1, +5 and +6. RAIDA12, for example, will trust RAIDA11 AND RAIDA7 AND RAIDA6 together, OR the three other combinations of three servers. Note that the Administrator for each RAIDA can change the server that their RAIDA trusts.

Multi Ticket Service

Trusted Server Identification:

The program or user that has the fractured CloudCoin will identify the fractured RAIDA's trusted servers.

CloudCoin JPEG File Naming Convention V 5.5.2017

Users may name the jpegs what every they like.

Uncirculated coins are as follows: Denomination "CloudCoin," NN, SN, a user tag, and ".jpg" separated by dots.

JPEG Example Filename:

Rest of JPEG Image. Size will vary

JSON File Format V 5.5.2017

CloudCoin JSON File Naming Convention:

Total Amount of CloudCoins in a file, ".CloudCoin", then a random number or use defined tab in case there are other stacks/chests with the same amount of CloudCoins separated by dots. The extension could be Chest or stack.

Example: 12750.cloudcoin.mytag.stack

Stack files are for the public. Chest files are for founders uncirculated coins. 12750.cloudcoin.userTagHere.chest CloudCoins should be stored in folders that reflect their status. Or, if they are all kept in the same folder, then If the stack is full of counterfeit CloudCoins, then it may have a .counterfeit extension. If the stack is full of lost coins, then it may have the .lost extension. If the stack has a .fracked extension, it is full of fracked coins. If the coins are encrypted using software, then it does not matter.

Mind Storage V Oct 5, 2019

CloudCoin is the first currency that can be stored in your mind. To store a CloudCoin in your mind, you must know the serial numbers and the Authenticity Numbers of your coins. Here are the standards for creating ANs based on what you know:

Mind storage provides maximum security; the user may store the Serial Numbers of their CloudCoins on paper or in a DNS server and then the ANs in their mind.

Requires the user to provide an account id, password and a PIN number.

Password: rules:

1. It cannot start with white space. It cannot end with white space. All other codes are allowed. White space includes carriage returns, spaces, tabs, etc.

3. The two paraphrases combined must have a length of over 17 bytes.

Note: For better security, it is advised that Westerners should use an 8-byte encoding. Others should use Unicode 16-byte encoding.

PIN number: rules:

1. Must contain four or more numbers.

Examples

Password:

password123

PIN Number:

1234

Password and PIN concatenated together

password1234

Username: Sean.CloudCoin.Global

Username converted to IP: 0.0.0.11

IP Converted to Serial Number: 11

Password: my^weak^passw.rd

Generating ANs from the password
Add the RAIDA number in front of the password and run an MD5 Hash. 

AN for RAIDA 0: 0my^weak^passw.rd  MD5 Hash 9D95D2EE4239726083D652582EFBECA3
