Jira: https://virtru.atlassian.net/browse/DSPX-4589

Stack — this is 1 of 2. Split out of #396 so the fix with actual field impact can be reviewed and land on its own.

PR contents
1 this PR (base main) per-segment size defaults
2 #398 (base this) zip64 EOCD sentinels, truncated archive detection, UTF-8 entry names
#396 (base main) the combined diff of 1 + 2, as originally opened

integrityInformation.segments[].segmentSize and .encryptedSegmentSize are optional in the TDF spec; when absent, the reader is supposed to fall back to segmentSizeDefault / encryptedSegmentSizeDefault. manifest.schema.json marks the two defaults required on integrityInformation but puts no required list on segments/items, so the per-segment values are optional overrides and an absent one means "the default", not zero.

Gson left the absent primitives at 0, and java-sdk read the payload with a zero-length segment. Every web SDK TDF larger than one default segment (1 MiB) failed to decrypt in java-sdk, surfacing as a confusing integrity error rather than as a manifest problem.

A primitive long cannot distinguish an absent JSON key from a literal 0, so the fix consults the parse tree: a Gson TypeAdapterFactory registered for IntegrityInformation walks the parsed segments array alongside the deserialized list and fills in the defaults only where the key is absent or JSON null. Boxing Segment.segmentSize to Long would have been the other option, but it breaks the public API (== in Segment.equals, an int -> Long assignment in TDF, existing assertEquals(Long, int) in tests) for no added behavior, so the post-deserialization fixup was chosen instead. Explicit 0 in the JSON is preserved as 0.

TDF.Reader.readPayload additionally rejects a segment with a non-positive encryptedSegmentSize up front — an encrypted segment always carries at least an IV and a tag — so a manifest that supplies neither a per-segment size nor a usable default now says so instead of failing downstream with an unrelated complaint about the payload being too small to GMAC.

Tests

4 new tests:

  • ManifestTest.testAbsentSegmentSizesFallBackToTheManifestDefaults — absent / partially overridden / fully overridden, plus a toJson round trip.
  • ManifestTest.testExplicitZeroSegmentSizeIsNotTreatedAsAbsent.
  • TDFTest.testReadingATDFThatOmitsDefaultedSegmentSizes — encrypts ~2 MiB + 4242 bytes at a 1 MiB segment size, strips every per-segment size equal to the default from the manifest, and asserts a byte-exact decrypt.
  • TDFTest.testZeroLengthSegmentIsRejectedWithAClearError.

Confirmed to be genuine regression tests by reverting the registerTypeAdapterFactory line and watching them fail.

mvn --batch-mode verify -Dmaven.antrun.skip -P 'coverage,non-fips,!fips'
  -> 235 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors, 8 skipped (231 before this change)  [JDK 21]

End-to-end validation

Run on the opentdf/tests DSPX-4592-02-chunky branch, which adds test_tdfs.py::test_chunky_roundtrip — a 5 MiB round trip, versus the 128 bytes the suite has used for four years, which is what it takes for a writer to emit a segment whose size equals the manifest default. Both runs pass force-supports=chunky, which makes tdfs.skip_chunky_skew return early so the cell reports a real pass or fail instead of skipping on the unreleased version gate.

java-ref run js -> java chunky cell
fix DSPX-4589-01-segment-size-defaults 34353420418 PASSED
control main (this PR's base) 34355312405 FAILED

Exactly one cell flips between the two runs. Every chunky pair, side by side:

encrypt -> decrypt control (java@main) fix (java@this-branch)
js -> java FAILED PASSED
go -> java PASSED PASSED
java -> java PASSED PASSED
java -> go PASSED PASSED
java -> js PASSED PASSED

(The four non-java pairs report SKIPPED in both runs — focus-sdk=java deselects them, not the feature gate.)

js -> java is precisely the reported bug: a web-SDK writer omits the per-segment sizes, and the java reader cannot default them back. The control fails with the confusing downstream symptom this PR describes, on the main that this branch is based on:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: tried to calculate GMAC on too small a payload. payload is 0bytes while GMAC is 16 bytes
	at io.opentdf.platform.sdk.TDF.calculateSignature(TDF.java:481)
	at io.opentdf.platform.sdk.TDF$Reader.readPayload(TDF.java:447)

Job totals: control js job 1 failed, 23 passed, 50 skipped; fix java job 82 passed, 22 skipped, no failures and no chunky skips.

Both were confirmed by grepping the run logs for the cell's own PASSED/FAILED/SKIPPED line rather than trusting the job's colour — a green job with a skipped cell is the vacuous pass the test exists to prevent.

Follow-up in opentdf/tests

force-supports is a pre-release override for these runs only. xtest/sdk/java/cli.sh still answers chunky unsupported: see DSPX-4589 and hard-codes exit 1; when this fix releases, that case has to become a version gate or the cell goes back to skipping. Tracked on DSPX-4592, which owns the tests repo.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved compatibility when reading manifests that omit segment-size fields by applying the documented default values.
    • Added validation before payload processing to reject invalid, undersized, or excessively large segments.
    • Prevented plaintext output when encrypted payload segments fail size validation.
    • Manifest segment-size handling now consistently supports missing, zero, and null values according to the applicable defaults.

…defaults

integrityInformation.segments[].segmentSize and .encryptedSegmentSize are
optional in the TDF spec: manifest.schema.json marks segmentSizeDefault and
encryptedSegmentSizeDefault required on integrityInformation but puts no
required list on segments/items, so an absent per-segment value means "the
default", not zero. Gson leaves an absent primitive at 0, so java-sdk read
those segments with a zero length buffer and failed inside the integrity
check. web-sdk omits a per-segment size whenever it equals the default,
which is every full segment, so every web-sdk TDF larger than one default
segment (1 MiB) failed to decrypt, surfacing as a confusing integrity error
rather than as a manifest problem.

A primitive long cannot distinguish an absent JSON key from a literal 0, so
a Gson TypeAdapterFactory registered for IntegrityInformation walks the
parsed segments array alongside the deserialized list and fills in the
defaults only where the key is absent or JSON null. Boxing
Segment.segmentSize to Long was the other option, but it breaks the public
API for no added behavior. An explicit 0 in the JSON is preserved as 0.

TDF.Reader.readPayload additionally rejects a segment with a non-positive
encryptedSegmentSize up front -- an encrypted segment always carries at
least an IV and a tag -- so a manifest that supplies neither a per-segment
size nor a usable default now says so instead of failing downstream with an
unrelated complaint about the payload being too small to GMAC.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK now fills omitted manifest segment sizes from manifest defaults. Reader.readPayload validates every segment before decryption or plaintext output. Tests cover defaults, null and zero values, cross-SDK manifests, and undersized encrypted segments.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c6462

The SDK now reads manifests that omit per-segment sizes by applying manifest defaults and rejects invalid encrypted segment sizes before plaintext is produced. The remaining items are documentation corrections and do not create merge-blocking product risk.

Correct the guard added for undersized segments and the comments around it.

- the old error message blamed a missing encryptedSegmentSizeDefault, but
  loadTDF already rejects a manifest whose two defaults disagree, so the
  only way to reach the guard is an explicitly bad per-segment value. say
  what was observed instead, and name the offending segment.
- the guard's rationale is an IV plus an auth tag, but it only checked for
  a non-positive size. sizes 1..27 still reached the integrity check as a
  signature mismatch or a GMAC-too-small complaint. raise the floor to
  kGcmIvSize + GCM_TAG_LENGTH, keeping a positive-only floor for the
  unencrypted payload branch, where segments carry neither.
- hoist the size checks into a pre-pass so an invalid size on a later
  segment no longer leaves the caller holding the earlier plaintext.
- the end-to-end test only asserted that a segmentSize was omitted, but
  plaintext segmentSize is write-only here: the encryptedSegmentSize
  omission is what the reader depends on, and it was unasserted. count
  both, and cover the exact-multiple shape where every segment omits both.
- cite the schema by its real path and verify the claim; drop the
  duplicated copy in the test. document that an explicit null defaults
  while an explicit zero does not, and that absent defaults leave zeroes.
- assert the segments/JSON array size invariant rather than silently
  iterating the shorter of the two.

Move validateSegmentSizes into Reader (S3398) and hoist the output stream
out of the assertThatThrownBy lambda (S5778).

Document the default-absent case for encryptedSegmentSize too.

The segmentSize Javadoc states that the value is always written on serialization. The encryptedSegmentSize Javadoc says "the same way" but omits that statement, and it also omits the case where the manifest declares no default. applySegmentSizeDefaults leaves the value at 0 in that case. Add both facts here so the field contract is complete.
