4. Cross-Cutting Concerns

4.1 Error Handling

// Protocol errors
pub enum ProtocolError {
    PacketParse(String), Encryption(String), Decryption(String),
    Compression(String), Decompression(String), InvalidPacketType(u8),
    PacketTooLarge { size, max }, PacketTooSmall { size, min },
    MacVerificationFailed, Timeout(String), ConnectionClosed,
    Command(String), Network(std::io::Error),
}

// Application errors
pub enum AppError {
    Connection(String), Protocol { code, message }, Network(std::io::Error),
    Crypto(String), Audio(String), Database(String), Serialization(serde_json::Error),
    Config(String), Identity(String), Permission(String), Timeout(String),
    NotConnected, AlreadyConnected, InvalidArgument(String),
}

4.2 Logging

• Framework: tracing with tracing-subscriber
• Levels: ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE
• Environment filter: RUST_LOG=tscore=debug,tsaudio=debug

4.3 Configuration

• Format: TOML
• Location: Platform-specific app data directory
• Encryption: ChaCha20-Poly1305 for identity keys

6. Performance Characteristics

6.1 Measured Performance

• Connection time: ~200ms (local network)
• Packet encryption: ~10μs per packet
• RSA puzzle (level 8): ~100ms
• Memory usage: ~50MB (idle)

6.2 Scalability

• Max packet size: 500 bytes
• Max decompressed size: 2MB
• Fragment queue limit: 200 packets
• Resend timeout: 500ms initial, exponential backoff

7. Security Architecture

7.1 Encryption Layers

1. Transport: AES-128-EAX per packet
2. Key Exchange: ECDH (P-256 for identity, Curve25519 for session)
3. Storage: ChaCha20-Poly1305 for identity keys
4. Passwords: base64(sha1(password))

7.2 Anti-DoS

• RSA puzzle computation (configurable difficulty)
• Hash Cash for identity verification
• Rate limiting (planned)
