VMess Protocol Architecture Analysis: Core Mechanisms of Encryption, Authentication, and Traffic Obfuscation

VMess is the core transport protocol of the V2Ray project, designed for secure, efficient, and censorship-resistant proxy communication. This article provides an in-depth analysis of its architecture, focusing on its Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) encryption, user ID authentication, and pluggable traffic obfuscation mechanisms. It reveals how VMess ensures data confidentiality and integrity while effectively countering Deep Packet Inspection (DPI).
