Prizm is now more Fast, Stable, Secure and Detailed.PrizmCore 1.9.18 Changelog.Source Code - https://github.com/prizmspace/PrizmCore1. The Big Things
1.1. Enforced SSL encryption - increased privacy and security
When you start PrizmCore for first time with prizm.apiServerHost=0.0.0.0:
- PrizmCore generates self-signed SSL certificate
- There is a "SSL CERTIFICATE SHA1 FINGERPRINT" message in your log during first run - note the SHA-1 fingerprint of generated certificate. You can compare this fingerprint to the one shown in the browser. If they are equal you can be sure that there is no man-in-the-middle intercepting your connection.
- PrizmCore enables SSL encryption using this certificate
- to open PrizmCore web interface you have to open
https://localhost:9976, not the http:// one
- SSL usage is enforced only if the web interface is expected to be accesible from the outer world
- whenever you want you can set up your own self-signed or trusted SSL certificate inside prizm.properties
- browser will warn you, that "Your connection is not private". It is OK for self-signed certificates - encryption is still works as expected, but your browser does not trust such certificate.
- you can disable SSLEnforce by setting prizm.apiServerEnforceSSL to "false" in prizm.properties
- most significant thigs the SSL does: encrypts your adminPassword (when using administrative APIs), encrypts passphrases of forging users, increases privacy of Web Interface users, protects from man-in-the-middle attacks
1.2 New API: GetAccountChildren - more info about your account
- response contains direct disciples of given account
- response includes balance, amount and disciples count for every of your disciple
- this is "HierarchyAPI" request, so it is available only from localhost by default
- this is not performance-heavy API, so you can open it for outter world
1.3. PrizmCore Web Interface feature "Disciples"
- you can inspect your disciples, their balances, amount, their own disciples count inside the PrizmCore Web Interface
- feature is based on GetAccountChildren API
- this feature is only accessible from localhost
- if you want to make it available for remote clients, set prizm.allowAPIHierarchyOnlyLocalhost to "false" and prizm.allowAPIHierarchyWithoutPassword to "true". It is also recommended to add "GetAccountHierarchy" to prizm.disabledAPIs to avoid violations
- Feature is available in the side menu for your account, and in "Disciples" tab in any account modal window
- Inside "Disciples" tab displayed disciples count is limited by 100
1.4. Adaptive validation - blockchain sync is faster then ever
- significantly increases blockchain download speed
- blockchain download speed increases with every downloaded block
- max blockchain download speed is reached approximately after 2000 downloaded blocks
- hard/solid drive read time is decreased
- database lock time decreased
- garbage collector delays decreased
1.5 Blokchain recovery - stable and reliable
- PrizmCore now can recover almost any blockchain files inside prizm_db directory
- PrizmCore now can detect blockchain errors during runtime and fix them automatically
- PrizmCore stability is greatly increased
2. The small things:
- change white background under generated passphrase in PrizmCore Web Interface
- generated passphrases in PrizmCore Web Interface now has 19 words instead of 12
- generated passphrases in PrizmCore Web Interface now starts with "prizm" keyword
- generated passphrase entropy bits increased from 128 to 192 bits
- fixed "sidebar not showing during first logon into PrizmCore Web Interface" bug
- forbbidden "GetBlockchainTransaction" for GENESIS account, because bad guys were overloading nodes with public API by spamming this request, you can inspect latest GENESIS transactions inside it's Account Ledger
- fixed PrizmCore Web Interface translation inaccuracies
- fixed "Error of 364696 block"
- fixed some garbace collector overhead possibilities
- fixed API "getParent - activated by PPPP" error
- fixed PrizmCore hang up during parsing broken transaction bytes
- increased clearness of log messages.
