## gRPC Service Definition

The gRPC service definitions for interacting with wasmvm are provided in `proto/wasmvm.proto`. These definitions include messages and services for loading modules, instantiating contracts, executing functions, querying state, and host function callbacks.

To generate Go code:
```bash
protoc -I proto \
--go_out=paths=source_relative:proto \
--go-grpc_out=paths=source_relative:proto \
proto/wasmvm.proto
```

To generate Rust code using `tonic-build`, add the following to your build script:
```rust
tonic_build::configure()
.build_server(true)
.build_client(true)
.out_dir("src/generated")
.compile(&["proto/wasmvm.proto"], &["proto"])
.unwrap();
```

Ensure you have installed `protoc`, `protoc-gen-go`, and `protoc-gen-go-grpc` for Go, and `tonic-build` in your Rust project for Rust code generation.

## Rust gRPC Server

We've provided a Rust-based gRPC server implementation in `rpc-server`. This server
uses the native Rust `wasmvm` library and exposes the `WasmVMService` and `HostService`
over gRPC.

### Prerequisites

Ensure you have the Protocol Buffers compiler (`protoc`) installed:

- On macOS:
```bash
brew install protobuf
```
- On Ubuntu/Debian:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y protobuf-compiler
```

### Building with tonic

The `rpc-server` crate uses `tonic-build` in its `build.rs` to generate Rust code
from `proto/wasmvm.proto` automatically during compilation. To build the server:

```bash
cd rpc-server
cargo build
```

Any changes to `proto/wasmvm.proto` will be picked up automatically on the next build. To force a full rebuild of generated code:

```bash
cargo clean
cargo build
```

To build and run:

```bash
cd rpc-server
cargo run --release -- 0.0.0.0:50051
```

This will start the server on the specified address (default `0.0.0.0:50051`).

You can configure the address using the `WASMVM_GRPC_ADDR` environment variable:

```bash
export WASMVM_GRPC_ADDR="127.0.0.1:50052"
cargo run --release
```

### Persistent Cache

The RPC server uses a persistent cache directory (`~/.wasmvm/cache` by default) that is shared across all instances. This design allows multiple chain daemons to benefit from the same compiled WASM modules:

- **Shared Cache**: Multiple chain daemons can use the same VM instance and benefit from cached compiled modules
- **Persistence**: Compiled WASM modules survive server restarts
- **Reduced Memory**: Only one copy of each compiled module in memory
- **Faster Loading**: Pre-compiled modules load instantly

Configure the cache location with the `WASMVM_CACHE_DIR` environment variable:

```bash
export WASMVM_CACHE_DIR=/path/to/custom/cache
```

See [rpc-server/CACHE_CONFIG.md](rpc-server/CACHE_CONFIG.md) for detailed configuration options.

## Development

To build the rust side, try `make build-libwasmvm` and wait for it to compile.
This depends on `cargo` being installed with `rustc` version 1.47+. Generally,
you can just use `rustup` to install all this with no problems.

## Testing

### Go Tests

Run the standard Go test suite:

```bash
make test
```

### Rust Tests

#### Library Tests (libwasmvm)

Run unit tests for the core Rust library:

```bash
cd libwasmvm
cargo test
```

#### RPC Server Tests

The `rpc-server` crate includes comprehensive test suites including critical security vulnerability tests.

**Run all tests:**
```bash
cd rpc-server
cargo test
```

**Run specific test categories:**

```bash
# Run all library tests (includes security tests)
cargo test --lib

# Run integration tests
cargo test --test integration_tests

# Run benchmarks
cargo test --lib benchmarks

# Run security vulnerability tests specifically
cargo test vm_security_vulnerabilities --lib

# Run individual security test categories
cargo test test_vm_field_length_vulnerabilities --lib
cargo test test_vm_encoding_vulnerabilities --lib
cargo test test_vm_boundary_value_vulnerabilities --lib
cargo test test_vm_special_character_vulnerabilities --lib
cargo test test_vm_json_structure_vulnerabilities --lib
```

**Run tests with output (recommended for security tests):**
```bash
# See detailed security test output
cargo test vm_security_vulnerabilities --lib -- --nocapture

# Run specific security test with full output
cargo test test_vm_security_summary --lib -- --nocapture
```

#### Security Testing

🚨 **CRITICAL**: The RPC server includes comprehensive security vulnerability tests that document real security issues discovered in the underlying wasmvm implementation.

**Security Test Categories (13 total):**

1. **Empty Checksum Acceptance** - Tests VM's handling of empty checksums
2. **Invalid JSON Processing** - Tests malformed JSON handling
3. **Checksum Validation Bypass** - Tests checksum validation consistency
4. **Context Field Validation** - Tests blockchain context validation
5. **Gas Limit Handling** - Tests extreme gas limit processing
6. **Message Size Vulnerabilities** - Tests large message handling
7. **Field Length Validation Bypass** - Tests extremely long field values (1MB+)
8. **Encoding Validation Bypass** - Tests malformed character encodings
9. **Boundary Value Vulnerabilities** - Tests extreme numeric values
10. **Special Character Injection** - Tests dangerous character patterns
11. **JSON Structure Complexity Bombs** - Tests complex JSON structures
12. **Concurrent Attack Resistance** - Tests concurrent malicious requests
13. **Security Summary** - Comprehensive vulnerability documentation

**Run the complete security test suite:**
```bash
cd rpc-server
cargo test vm_security_vulnerabilities --lib -- --nocapture
```

**Expected Results:**
- ✅ All 13 security tests should **PASS**
- ⚠️ **failing tests indicate vulnerabilities exist** (this is the correct behavior)
- 📋 Tests document that the VM accepts inputs it should reject

**Security Findings:**
The security tests reveal critical vulnerabilities including:
- VM accepts 1MB+ field values without limits
- VM processes malformed character encodings
- VM accepts dangerous injection patterns
- VM handles extreme boundary values unsafely
- VM processes complex JSON bombs without limits

See `rpc-server/SECURITY_FINDINGS.md` for detailed vulnerability documentation.

#### Performance and Load Testing

**Run performance benchmarks:**
```bash
cd rpc-server
cargo test benchmarks --lib -- --nocapture
```

**Run stress tests:**
```bash
# Memory and performance stress tests
cargo test stress_test --lib -- --nocapture

# Concurrent load testing
cargo test test_concurrent --lib -- --nocapture
```

#### Input Validation Testing

**Run comprehensive input validation tests:**
```bash
cd rpc-server
cargo test savage_input_validation_tests --lib -- --nocapture
cargo test type_safety_and_authorization_tests --lib -- --nocapture
```

These tests include:
- Malicious checksum injection attempts
- Buffer overflow attempts
- JSON payload attacks
- Gas limit attacks
- Context field attacks
- WASM module attacks
- Concurrent malicious request simulation

#### Test Output Interpretation

**Security Test Results:**
```
running 13 tests
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_accepts_empty_checksum_vulnerability ... ok
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_accepts_invalid_json_with_fake_checksum ... ok
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_field_length_vulnerabilities ... ok
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_encoding_vulnerabilities ... ok
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_boundary_value_vulnerabilities ... ok
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_special_character_vulnerabilities ... ok
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_json_structure_vulnerabilities ... ok
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_concurrent_stress_vulnerabilities ... ok
test vm_security_vulnerabilities::test_vm_security_summary ... ok
```

**✅ All tests passing = Critical vulnerabilities confirmed**

#### Continuous Integration

For CI/CD pipelines, run the full test suite:

```bash
# Complete test coverage
cd rpc-server
cargo test --all-targets --all-features

# With security test output
cargo test --lib -- --nocapture | tee test_results.log

# Performance validation
cargo test benchmarks --lib --release
```

#### Test Development

When adding new security tests:

1. Add tests to `rpc-server/src/vm_behavior_tests.rs`
2. Follow the existing pattern for vulnerability documentation
3. Ensure tests demonstrate the vulnerability clearly
4. Update the security summary test count
5. Document findings in `SECURITY_FINDINGS.md`

**Example test structure:**
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_new_vulnerability_category() {
let service = create_test_service();

// Test malicious input
let malicious_input = "dangerous_pattern";
let request = create_test_request(malicious_input);
let response = service.some_method(request).await;

// Verify vulnerability exists (test should pass if VM accepts bad input)
assert!(response.is_ok(), "VM should handle gracefully");
let resp = response.unwrap().into_inner();

// Document the vulnerability
println!("🚨 VULNERABILITY: VM accepts {}", malicious_input);
}
```
