Add a `NetworkID` field to help prevent replay attacks on and from
side-chains.
The new field must be used when the server is using a network id > 1024.
To preserve legacy behavior, all chains with a network ID less than 1025
retain the existing behavior. This includes Mainnet, Testnet, Devnet,
and hooks-testnet. If `sfNetworkID` is present in any transaction
submitted to any of the nodes on one of these chains, then
`telNETWORK_ID_MAKES_TX_NON_CANONICAL` is returned.
Since chains with a network ID less than 1025, including Mainnet, retain
the existing behavior, there is no need for an amendment.
The `NetworkID` helps to prevent replay attacks because users specify a
`NetworkID` field in every transaction for that chain.
This change introduces a new UINT32 field, `sfNetworkID` ("NetworkID").
There are also three new local error codes for transaction results:
- `telNETWORK_ID_MAKES_TX_NON_CANONICAL`
- `telREQUIRES_NETWORK_ID`
- `telWRONG_NETWORK`
To learn about the other transaction result codes, see:
https://xrpl.org/transaction-results.html
Local error codes were chosen because a transaction is not necessarily
malformed if it is submitted to a node running on the incorrect chain.
This is a local error specific to that node and could be corrected by
switching to a different node or by changing the `network_id` on that
node. See:
https://xrpl.org/connect-your-rippled-to-the-xrp-test-net.html
In addition to using `NetworkID`, it is still generally recommended to
use different accounts and keys on side-chains. However, people will
undoubtedly use the same keys on multiple chains; for example, this is
common practice on other blockchain networks. There are also some
legitimate use cases for this.
A `app.NetworkID` test suite has been added, and `core.Config` was
updated to include some network_id tests.
