did_plc 1.2.0

High-performance, independent DID PLC Directory client with caching, streaming, and batch processing for Dart/Flutter applications.

Release Note

1.2.0

• security: base58BtcDecode now rejects inputs longer than maxBase58InputLength (512 characters) with a CryptoException before decoding. The decoder is inherently O(n^2), so an unbounded input was a denial-of-service vector for any caller decoding attacker-supplied text: a ~512,000-character publicKeyMultibase hidden in a DID document froze a single-threaded isolate for over two minutes. Every legitimate input this package handles (a Multikey is ~48 characters, a base58btc CID similar) is an order of magnitude below the new bound.

1.1.3

• refactor: PlcVerifier.operationCid builds its CID with multiformats' CID.createFromBytes instead of hand-assembling the [0x01, 0x71, 0x12, 0x20, ...] prefix, removing the last independent CID-construction site in this package. The emitted bytes are unchanged.
• perf: hoisted the per-call RegExp literals in OperationValidator and CryptoKey.fromHex to static final fields, so streaming an audit log no longer recompiles the same patterns once per operation.
• refactor: encodeDagCbor now delegates to multiformats' canonical dagCborEncode instead of a second hand-written encoder, removing the duplicate implementation. The CryptoException contract and the encoded bytes for every PLC operation are unchanged.
• chore: bump multiformats to ^1.3.0.

1.1.2

• docs: fixed the broken Advanced Features / Caching / Performance Best Practices examples in the README, which passed a non-existent cachePolicy: argument to the PLC(...) factory. They now inject a cache via the real cacheManager: CacheManager(CachePolicy(...)) form, matching example/cache_example.dart.
• docs: documented the v1.1.0 real-cryptography and operation-building surface in the README (OperationBuilder, DidBuilder, CryptoKey/KeyManager, PlcSigner, PlcVerifier), with a signing/verification example.
• docs: bumped the README install snippet to did_plc: ^1.1.2.
• chore: bump multiformats to ^1.2.0.

1.1.1

• fix: signature verification now contains invalid public keys. A crafted rotation did:key with an off-curve or malformed compressed point made pointycastle throw an uncaught ArgumentError out of the verification API (verifyRawOperation/toEcPublicKey); the point decode is now wrapped so verification fails closed with a CryptoException/invalid result instead of crashing a bulk-verification pipeline.
• fix: DID inputs are validated against the canonical did:plc grammar (did:plc: + 24 base32 [a-z2-7] characters) and rejected if they contain path/query/fragment characters (/ ? # %, whitespace, control), closing a path/query-injection hole where a DID like did:plc:abc/../export?count=1 could redirect a request to a different endpoint and be cached under the crafted key.
• fix: the typed Operation and the legacy CreateOperationV1 now serialize an explicit prev: null for genesis operations, so typed signing/verification and did:plc derivation match the PLC directory's canonical bytes (previously only the raw-map API was correct, and legacy create genesis operations failed verification/derivation for every affected DID).
• fix: replaced dart:io (SocketException/HttpException) with package:universal_io, restoring Flutter web/WASM compatibility.
• fix: 400-error detail maps with non-string values no longer throw a lazy cast error.
• chore: corrected the client User-Agent version.

1.1.0

🔐 Real cryptography, working export & streaming

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Real signing/verification: the previous signing/verification stack was a mock (sha256(message‖keyMaterial‖alg)) that could be forged by anyone holding the public key and was incompatible with the real PLC directory. It is replaced with real ECDSA (secp256k1 + p256), RFC 6979 deterministic k, low-S normalization, DAG-CBOR canonicalization, CIDv1 prev, and correct did:plc derivation. Signatures produced by earlier versions are not compatible; this output is verified against live plc.directory audit logs (D-1/D-5).
• did:key encoding: did:key generation/parsing now uses correct base58btc + multicodec prefixes (previously a 'z' + base64url pseudo-multibase with no multicodec prefix), so output is now compatible with spec-conforming consumers. p256 is supported and the internally-inconsistent Ed25519 handling was dropped (D-4/D-15).

🔧 Fixes

• exportOps works again: /export returns JSONL, but the whole body was passed to jsonDecode, so any account with 2+ operations failed with a spurious NetworkException. Lines are now parsed individually, and exportOpsStream paginates instead of silently truncating at 1000 (D-3/D-18).
• Validator accepts real operations: did:key rotation keys (with colons) are accepted, and the non-spec "rotation key must be in verificationMethods" rule was dropped (D-2/D-14).
• Retries actually fire: the retry predicate is type-based, so connection errors are retried (previously a lowercase substring match never matched the real exception strings); retry logic is unified at the HTTP layer to avoid amplification (D-7/D-13/D-16).
• Streaming: fixed the createBufferedStream deadlock (consumer-driven backpressure), real stream backpressure/concurrency, batch maxWaitTime, and empty-input completion (D-6/D-11/D-12).
• Cache: CachedOperation now writes to the cache (hit rate was permanently 0%), _PLCImpl takes a cacheManager, and purge is lazy instead of a constructor Timer.periodic that kept the process alive (D-8/D-9).
• UTC timestamps in export windows, and various low-severity fixes (immediate-retry, chunk cast, serviceEndpoint cast, 2xx parse) (D-10/D-17).
• exportOpsStream no longer drops operations at a page boundary: the /export after cursor is strictly exclusive, so operations sharing one createdAt could straddle a 1000-op page boundary and be silently skipped. The cursor now rewinds to the last distinct timestamp and de-duplicates the re-fetched trailing operations by CID (a full page sharing a single createdAt throws instead of losing data).
• Validator allows empty verificationMethods: a rotation-key-only plc_operation is valid per the spec, so the "at least one verification method is required" rule was dropped (presence/nullability is still checked).
• doc: exportOps now documents that it returns a single page (max 1000) and points to exportOpsStream for exporting the whole directory.

🧪 Testing

• Added crypto / validator (against real PLC fixtures) / retry / cache / streaming / export tests (with live-gated fixtures) where there were previously none (D-20).

📦 Dependencies

• Bump multiformats to ^1.1.0.
