Crate roughenough [−] [src]
An implementation of the Roughtime secure time synchronization protocol.
Roughtime aims to achieve rough time synchronisation in a secure way that doesn't depend on any particular time server, and in such a way that, if a time server does misbehave, clients end up with cryptographic proof of it.
Protocol
Roughtime messages are represetned by RtMessage which
implements the mapping of Roughtime u32 tags to byte-strings.
Server
A Roughtime server implementation is in src/bin/server.rs. The server is
configured via a yaml file:
interface: 127.0.0.1
port: 8686
seed: f61075c988feb9cb700a4a6a3291bfbc9cab11b9c9eca8c802468eb38a43d7d3
Where:
- interface - IP address or interface name for listening to client requests
- port - UDP port to listen to requests
- seed - A 32-byte hexadecimal value used as the seed to generate the server's long-term key pair. This is a secret value, treat it with care.
To run the server:
$ cargo run --release --bin server /path/to/config.file
