The lsfDepositAuth flag limits the AccountIDs that can deposit into
the account that has the flag set. The original design only
allowed deposits to complete if the account with the flag set also
signed the transaction that caused the deposit.
The DepositPreauth ledger type allows an account with the
lsfDepositAuth flag set to preauthorize additional accounts.
This preauthorization allows them to sign deposits as well. An
account can add DepositPreauth objects to the ledger (and remove
them as well) using the DepositPreauth transaction.
The six different ranges of TER codes are broken up into six
different enumerations. A template class allows subsets of
these enumerations to be aggregated. This technique allows
verification at compile time that no TEC codes are returned
before the signature is checked.
Conversion between TER instance and integer is provided by
named functions. This makes accidental conversion almost
impossible and makes type abuse easier to spot in the code
base.
The DepositAuth feature allows an account to require that
it signs for any funds that are deposited to the account.
For the time being this limits the account to accepting
only XRP, although there are plans to allow IOU payments
in the future.
The lsfDepositAuth protections are not extended to offers.
If an account creates an offer it is in effect saying, “I
will accept funds from anyone who takes this offer.”
Therefore, the typical user of the lsfDepositAuth flag
will choose never to create any offers. But they can if
they so choose.
The DepositAuth feature leaves a small gap in its
protections. An XRP payment is allowed to a destination
account with the lsfDepositAuth flag set if:
- The Destination XRP balance is less than or equal to
the base reserve and
- The value of the XRP Payment is less than or equal to
the base reserve.
This exception is intended to make it impossible for an
account to wedge itself by spending all of its XRP on fees
and leave itself unable to pay the fee to get more XRP.
