Client gets the remote user pubkey (either via a `bunker://` connection string or a NIP-05 login-flow; shown below) +3. Clients use the local keypair to send requests to the remote signer by `p`-tagging and encrypting to the remote user pubkey. +4. The remote signer responds to the client by `p`-tagging and encrypting to the local keypair pubkey. -Event payloads are [NIP-04](04.md)-encrypted JSON blobs that look like JSONRPC messages (their format is specified inside the `.content` of the event formats below). +### Example flow for signing an event -Events sent by the client to the remote signer have the following format: +- Remote user pubkey (e.g. signing as) `fa984bd7dbb282f07e16e7ae87b26a2a7b9b90b7246a44771f0cf5ae58018f52` +- Local pubkey is `eff37350d839ce3707332348af4549a96051bd695d3223af4aabce4993531d86` -```js +#### Signature request + +```json { - "pubkey": "" - "kind": 24133, - "tags": [ - ["p", ""] - ], - "content": "nip04_encrypted_json({id: , method: , params: [array_of_strings]})", - ... + "kind": 24133, + "pubkey": "eff37350d839ce3707332348af4549a96051bd695d3223af4aabce4993531d86", + "content": nip04({ + "id": , + "method": "sign_event", + "params": [json_stringified(<{ + content: "Hello, I'm signing remotely", + pubkey: "fa984bd7dbb282f07e16e7ae87b26a2a7b9b90b7246a44771f0cf5ae58018f52", + // ...the rest of the event data + }>)] + }), + "tags": [["p", "fa984bd7dbb282f07e16e7ae87b26a2a7b9b90b7246a44771f0cf5ae58018f52"]], // p-tags the remote user pubkey } ``` -And the events the remote signer sends to the client have the following format: +#### Response event -```js - "pubkey": "" - "kind": 24133, - "tags": [ - ["p", ""] - ], - "content": "nip04_encrypted_json({id: , result: , error: })", - ... +```json +{ + "kind": 24133, + "pubkey": "fa984bd7dbb282f07e16e7ae87b26a2a7b9b90b7246a44771f0cf5ae58018f52", + "content": nip04({ + "id": , + "result": json_stringified() + }), + "tags": [["p", "eff37350d839ce3707332348af4549a96051bd695d3223af4aabce4993531d86"]], // p-tags the local keypair pubkey +} ``` -The signer key will always be the key of the user who controls the signer device. +#### Diagram -### Methods +![signing-example](https://i.nostr.build/P3gW.png) -- **connect** - - params: [`pubkey`, `secret`] - - result: `"ack"` -- **get_public_key** - - params: [] - - result: `pubkey-hex` -- **sign_event** - - params: [`event`] - - result: `json_string(event_with_pubkey_id_and_signature)` -- **get_relays** - - params: [] - - result: `json_string({[url: string]: {read: boolean, write: boolean}})` -- **nip04_encrypt** - - params: [`third-party-pubkey`, `plaintext`] - - result: `nip04-ciphertext` -- **nip04_decrypt** - - params: [`third-party-pubkey`, `nip04-ciphertext`] - - result: `plaintext` -- **nip44_get_key** - - params: [`third-party-pubkey`] - - result: `nip44-conversation-key` -- **nip44_encrypt** - - params: [`third-party-pubkey`, `plaintext`] - - result: `nip44-ciphertext` -- **nip44_decrypt** - - params: [`third-party-pubkey`, `nip44-ciphertext`] - - result: `plaintext` -- **ping** - - params: [] - - result: `"pong"` +## Request Events `kind: 24133` + +```json +{ + "id": , + "kind": 24133, + "pubkey": , + "content": )>, + "tags": [["p", ]], // NB: in the `create_account` event, the remote signer pubkey should be `p` tagged. + "created_at": , +} +``` + +The `content` field is a JSON-RPC-like message that is [NIP-04](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/04.md) encrypted and has the following structure: + +```json +{ + "id": , + "method": , + "params": [array_of_strings] +} +``` + +- `id` is a random string that is a request ID.

The response `content` object will take the following form: + +```json +{ + "id": <request_id>, + "result": "auth_url", + "error": <URL_to_display_to_end_user> +} +``` + +Clients should display (in a popup or new tab) the URL from the `error` field and then subscribe/listen for another response from the remote signer (reusing the same request ID). This event will be sent once the user authenticates in the other window (or will never arrive if the user doesn't authenticate). It's also possible to add a `redirect_uri` url parameter to the auth_url, which is helpful in situations when a client cannot open a new window or tab to display the auth challenge. + +#### Example event signing request with auth challenge + +![signing-example-with-auth-challenge](https://i.nostr.build/W3aj.png) + +## Remote Signer Commands + +Remote signers might support additional commands when communicating directly with it.

Note that it's on the user to select the remote signer that is actually managing the remote key that they would like to use in this case. If the remote user pubkey is managed on another remote signer, the connection will fail. + +In addition, it's important that clients validate that the pubkey of the announced remote signer matches the pubkey of the `_` entry in the `/.well-known/nostr.json` file of the remote signer's announced domain. + +Clients that allow users to create new accounts should also consider validating the availability of a given username in the namespace of remote signer's domain by checking the `/.well-known/nostr.json` file for existing usernames. Clients can then show users feedback in the UI before sending a `create_account` event to the remote signer and receiving an error in return. Ideally, remote signers would also respond with understandable error messages if a client tries to create an account with an existing username. + +#### Example Oauth-like flow to create a new user account with Nsecbunker + +Coming soon... + +## References + +- [NIP-04 -

While just counting a raw number of "likes" is unproductive, reacting to any wiki article event with a `+` can be interpreted as a recommendation for that article specifically and a partial recommendation of the author of that article. When 2 or 3-level deep recommendations are followed, suddenly a big part of all the articles may have some form of tagging. + +### Relays + +[NIP-51](51.md) lists of relays can be created with the kind 10102 and then used by wiki clients in order to determine where to query articles first and to rank these differently in relation to other events fetched from other relays. + +### Contact lists + +[NIP-02](02.md) contact lists can form the basis of a recommendation system that is then expanded with relay lists and reaction lists through nested queries. These lists form a good starting point only because they are so widespread. + +### Wiki-related contact lists + +[NIP-51](51.md) lists can also be used to create a list of users that are trusted only in the context of wiki authorship or wiki curationship. + +Forks +--------- +Wiki-events can tag other wiki-events with a `fork` marker to specify that this event came from a different version. Both `a` and `e` tags SHOULD be used and have the `fork` marker applied, to identify the exact version it was forked from. + +Deference +--------- +Wiki-events can tag other wiki-events with a `defer` marker to indicate that it considers someone else's entry as a "better" version of itself. If using a `defer` marker both `a` and `e` tags SHOULD be used. + +This is a stronger signal of trust than a `+` reaction. + +This marker is useful when a user edits someone else's entry; if the original author includes the editor's changes and the editor doesn't want to keep/maintain an indepedent version, the `link` tag could effectively be a considered a "deletion" of the editor's version and putting that pubkey's WoT weight behind the original author's version. + +Why Markdown? +------------- + +If the idea is to make a wiki then the most obvious text format to use is probably the mediawiki/wikitext format used by Wikipedia since it's widely deployed in all mediawiki installations and used for decades with great success. However, it turns out that format is very bloated and convoluted, has way too many features and probably because of that it doesn't have many alternative implementations out there, and the ones that exist are not complete and don't look very trustworthy. Also it is very much a centralized format that can probably be changed at the whims of the Wikipedia owners. + +On the other hand, Markdown has proven to work well for small scale wikis and one of the biggest wikis in the planet (which is not very often thought of as a wiki), [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com) and its child sites, and also one of the biggest "personal wiki" software, [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/). Markdown can probably deliver 95% of the functionality of wikitext. When augmented with tables, diagram generators and MathJax (which are common extensions that exist in the wild and can be included in this NIP) that rate probably goes to 99%, and its simplicity is a huge benefit that can't be overlooked. Wikitext format can also be transpíled into Markdown using Pandoc. Given all that, I think it's a reasonable suspicion that mediawiki is not inherently better than Markdown, the success of Wikipedia probably cannot be predicated on the syntax language choice. + +# Appendix 1: Merge requests +Users can request other users to get their entries merged into someone else's entry by creating a `kind:818` event. + +```js +{ + "content": "I added information about how to make hot ice-creams", + "kind": 818, + "tags": [ + [ "a", "30818:<destination-pubkey>:hot-ice-creams", "<relay-url>" ], + [ "e", "<version-against-which-the-modification-was-made>", "<relay-url>' ], + [ "p", "<destination-pubkey>" ], + [ "e", "<version-to-be-merged>", "<relay-url>", "source" ] + ] +} +``` + +`.content`: an optional explanation detailing why this merge is being requested. +`a` tag: tag of the article which should be modified (i.e. the target of this merge request). +`e` tag: optional version of the article in which this modifications is based +`e` tag with `source` marker: the ID of the event that should be merged.
