# xous-names
|

|
||||
## Specification
|
||||
Server IDs (SIDs) are used by processes to send messages to
|
||||
servers. It is thus an attack surface. Furthermore, if a process can
|
||||
forge an SID before a server can claim it, it can “become” the

|
|||
The `AUTHENTICATE_TIMEOUT` field is used to give `xous-name-server`
|
||||
a chance to depopulate the response table over time, so that it
|
||||
does not "leak" memory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
The current implementation is a hash map that matches randomly generated
|
||||
names with a list of names each server selects for itself. Currently, any
|
||||
request to lookup and connect to a server will succeed, but the hooks
|
||||
are there to enforce permissions and deny connections, and/or request
|
||||
authentication for connection.
|
||||
|
||||
A list of canonical names for servers is stored in `xous-rs/names.rs`.
|
||||
The intention is that this is a list of "public" services that should
|
||||
be well-known and generally all processes are allowed to connect to
|
||||
these.
|
||||
|
||||
Later on, we may implement servers that handle sensitive information;
|
||||
and also, user processes can start private servers that should be isolated
|
||||
from others, and thus have restricted permissions. These names may not
|
||||
appear in this list, or they may appear but also we'll have annotations
|
||||
for permissions and security.
