Build Status

Implementation of Scuttlebutt Handshake and Box Stream to establish a secure authenticated and encrypted connection between two peers.

Usage

A simple echo server (see examples/echo_server.rs)

let server_identity = sodiumoxide::crypto::sign::gen_keypair().unwrap();

let listener = async_std::net::TcpListener::bind("localhost:5555").await?;
let (stream, _) = listener.accept().await?;
let server =
    ssb_box_stream::Server::new(&NETWORK_IDENTIFIER, &server_identity.0, &server_identity.1);
let (mut sender, mut receiver, client_key) = server.accept(stream).await?;
println!("Connected to client {:?}", client_key);

while let Some(data) = receiver.try_next().await? {
    println!("<- {}", String::from_utf8_lossy(&data));
    sender.send(data).await?
}

sender.close().await?

A client (see examples/client.rs).

// This needs to match the server identity keypair
let server_identity_pk = sodiumoxide::crypto::sign::gen_keypair().0;
let client_identity = sodiumoxide::crypto::sign::gen_keypair();

let stream = async_std::net::TcpStream::connect("localhost:5555").await?;

let client = ssb_box_stream::Client::new(
    &NETWORK_IDENTIFIER,
    &server_identity_pk,
    &client_identity.0,
    &client_identity.1,
);

let (mut sender, _receiver) = client.connect(stream).await?;
sender.send(Vec::from(b"hello world")).await?;
