    var senderKeyStore = InMemorySenderKeyStore();
    var groupSession = GroupCipher(senderKeyStore, senderKeyName);
    groupSession.encrypt(utf8.encode("Hello Mixin"));
  }

}`

I should have mostly followed the example and cant figure out why I am still getting error. The receivedBundle is being reconstructed from its components saved in the server and fetched. The code used for bundle is as follows:

`var bundle = json.decode(otherUser.publicKey);

int registrationId = int.parse(bundle['registrationId'].toString());
List<int> stringList = jsonDecode(bundle['preKey']).cast<int>();
final key = DjbECPublicKey(Uint8List.fromList(stringList));

ECPublicKey preKey = libs.Curve.decodePoint(key.serialize(), 1);
final key2 = DjbECPublicKey(Uint8List.fromList(jsonDecode(bundle['signedPreKey']).cast<int>()));
ECPublicKey signedPreKey = libs.Curve.decodePoint(key2.serialize(), 1);
Uint8List signedPreKeySignature = Uint8List.fromList(jsonDecode(bundle['signature']).cast<int>());
int preKeyId = int.parse(bundle['preKeyId']);
int signedPreKeyId = int.parse(bundle['signedPreKeyId']);
IdentityKey identityKey = IdentityKey.fromBytes(Uint8List.fromList(jsonDecode(bundle['identityKeyPair']).cast<int>()), 0) ;
setState(() {
  recieverBundle = PreKeyBundle(registrationId, 1, preKeyId, preKey, signedPreKeyId, signedPreKey, signedPreKeySignature, identityKey);
});`

Need some help in figuring out what I am doing wrong in the implementation.

I see that you're not making use of the SignalProtocolStore - take a look at how it should be used.

Then, in your sessionEncrypt method, instead of doing the following:

var sessionBuilder = SessionBuilder(sessionStore, 
                                    preKeyStore,
                                    signedPreKeyStore, 
                                    identityStore, 
                                    remoteAddress);

var sessionCipher = SessionCipher(sessionStore, 
                                  preKeyStore,
                                  signedPreKeyStore, 
                                  identityStore, 
                                  remoteAddress);

... do something like this instead:

String sessionEncrypt(PreKeyBundle preKeyBundle, 
                      SignalProtocolStore store, // NEW
                      String msg) {

    final remoteAddress = SignalProtocolAddress('remote', 1);

    if (!store.containsSession(remoteAddress)) {
        SessionBuilder.fromSignalStore(store, remoteAddress).processPreKeyBundle(preKeyBundle);
    }

    final sessionCipher = SessionCipher.fromStore(store, address);
    return ciphertext.serialize().toString();

Thanks @xni06 , The encryption part seems to be working with this. The decryption part is giving the following error:

InvalidKeyIdException - No such signedprekeyrecord! 0

The code for my decryption is :

String sessionDecrypt(PreKeyBundle recievedBundle, String username, String ciphertext){
    final remoteAddress = SignalProtocolAddress('remote', 1);
    if (!spStore.containsSession(remoteAddress)) {
      SessionBuilder.fromSignalStore(spStore, remoteAddress).processPreKeyBundle(
          recievedBundle);
    }
    final sessionCipher = SessionCipher.fromStore(spStore, remoteAddress);

    PreKeySignalMessage mess = PreKeySignalMessage(Uint8List.fromList(ciphertext.codeUnits));
    String text = sessionCipher.decrypt(mess).toString();
    print('Decrypted = ${text}');
    return text;
  }

Also, can the 'remote' used to create remoteAddress be replaced by a unique username ?

[xni06]

Similar to when encrypting a message - it all depends on whether your store contains a session or not. In the case of decrypting:

if store contains the session {
    use SessionCipher.decryptFromSignal
}
else {
  use SessionCipher.decrypt
}

Also, can the 'remote' used to create remoteAddress be replaced by a unique username ?

Yes

Thanks @xni06 , I have made the changes, but now getting the following error on the recieving end:

InvalidMessageException - InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message contained an invalid tag (zero).

I am converting the encrypted message from Uint8List to String using String.fromCharCodes(ciphertext.serialize()) and send this via websocket. On the reciever end I am using

String sessionDecrypt(PreKeyBundle recievedBundle, String username, String ciphertext){
    final remoteAddress = SignalProtocolAddress('$username', 1);
    final sessionCipher = SessionCipher.fromStore(spStore, remoteAddress);
    String text = '';

    if (!spStore.containsSession(remoteAddress)) {
      SignalMessage mess = SignalMessage.fromSerialized(Uint8List.fromList(ciphertext.codeUnits));
      text = String.fromCharCodes(sessionCipher.decryptFromSignal(mess));
    }else{
      PreKeySignalMessage mess = PreKeySignalMessage(Uint8List.fromList(ciphertext.codeUnits));
      text = String.fromCharCodes(sessionCipher.decrypt(mess));
    }

    print('Decrypted = ${text}');

    return text;
  }

I have checked the string after encrypting and the string recieved before decrypting, and they are the same. I have also tried saving the uint8list as List instead of string. Still getting the same error. Here is one of the messages encrypted :

[51,8,254,255,255,7,18,33,5,229,245,176,108,213,142,164,187,91,113,153,179,193,53,235,54,200,101,235,116,45,52,121,239,12,187,81,209,165,158,7,14,26,33,5,3 2,183,174,91,146,188,54,92,226,166,144,233,29,245,85,104,210,117,149,252,103,136,105,53,227,229,76,86,4,123,157,82,34,66,51,10,33,5,202,205,163,241,85,15,135,138,226,57,154,203,19,118,1 27,191,113,65,41,101,87,0,53,36,58,146,118,193,153,45,84,117,16,0,24,0,34,16,191,79,16,99,95,30,15,0,250,92,154,245,236,69,228,101,113,2,228,241,239,148,51,57,40,163,94,48,0]

It has a length of 514. I tried removing the final 0 using removeLast(), but still getting the same error.

[xni06]

Are there any obvious differences in approach between your implementation and that of the existing unit tests?

• session_cipher_test.dart
• session_builder_test.dart

[woinbo]

Hey, @xni06 I am not getting how to implement this package into my flutter chatting app. Can you please guide me on how to implement signal protocall?

[crossle]

Example work now.
