<h2 id="abstract"><a class="header" href="#abstract">Abstract</a></h2>
<p>A push notification server implementation for IOS devices and Android devices.
This specification provides a set of methods that allow clients
to use push notification services in mobile environments.</p>
<h2 id="background"><a class="header" href="#background">Background</a></h2>
<p>Push notification for iOS and
Android devices can only be implemented by relying on
<a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/APNSOverview.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH8-SW1">APN</a>,
Apple Push Notification, service for iOS or
<a href="https://firebase.google.com/">Firebase</a> for Android.</p>
<p>For some Android devices, foreground services are restricted,
requiring a user to grant authorization to applications
to use foreground notifications.
Apple iOS devices restrict notifications to
a few internal functions that every application can not use.
Applications on iOS can request execution time when they are in the background.
This has a limited set of use cases for example,
it will not schedule any time if the application was closed with force quit.
Requesting execution time is not responsive enough to
implement a push notification system.
Status provides a set of methods to acheive push notification services.</p>
<p>Since this can not be safely implemented in a privacy-preserving manner,
clients need to be given an option to opt-in to receive and send push notifications.
They are disabled by default.</p>

<p>Registering a client with a push notification service.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>A client MAY register with one or
more push notification services in order to increase availability.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A client SHOULD make sure that all the notification services they registered with

</li>
<li>
<p>A <code>PNR message</code> (Push Notification Registration) MUST be sent to the
<a href="../../waku/standards/application/54/x3dh-sessions.html">partitioned topic</a>

</li>
<li>
<p>The message MUST be wrapped in a
<a href="../62/payloads.html"><code>ApplicationMetadataMessage</code></a> with type set to <code>PUSH_NOTIFICATION_REGISTRATION</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The marshaled protobuf payload MUST also be encrypted with AES-GCM
using the Diffie–Hellman key generated from the client and server identity.
This is done in order to ensure that the extracted key from the signature
will be considered invalid if it can’t decrypt the payload.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The content of the message MUST contain the following <a href="https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/">protobuf record</a>:</p>

<h3 id="anonymous-mode"><a class="header" href="#anonymous-mode">Anonymous Mode</a></h3>
<p>In order to preserve privacy, the client MAY provide anonymous mode of operations
to propagate information about the user.
A client in anonymous mode can register with the server
using a key that is different from their chat key.
This will hide their real chat key. This public key is effectively a secret and
SHOULD only be disclosed to clients approved to notify a user.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>A client MAY advertise the access token on the
<a href="../../waku/standards/application/53/x3dh.html">contact-code topic</a>
of the key generated.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A client MAY share their public key contact updates in the
<a href="https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/">protobuf record</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A client receiving a push notification public key
SHOULD listen to the contact code topic of the push notification public key for updates.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The method described above effectively does not share the identity of the sender
nor the receiver to the server, but
MAY result in missing push notifications
as the propagation of the secret is left to the client.
This can be mitigated by <a href="../62/payloads.html">device syncing</a>,
but not completely addressed.</p>

<p>If anonymous mode is not used,
when registering with a push notification service a client will disclose:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The devices that will receive notifications.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The chat key.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>A client MAY disclose:</p>
<ul>
<li>The hash of the <code>chat_id</code> they want to filter out.</li>
</ul>
<p>When running in anonymous mode, the client’s chat key is not disclosed.</p>
<p>When querying a push notification server a client will disclose:</p>
<ul>
<li>That it is interested in sending push notification to another client,
but querying client’s chat key is not disclosed.</li>
</ul>
<p>When sending a push notification a client will disclose:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <code>shake-256</code> of the <code>chat_id</code>.</li>
