SECRET

A Secure, Efficient, and Collaborative Real-Time Web Editor initially presented in this ASIACCS paper. If you would like to evaluate the functionality, please use the master branch. If you instead would like to take a look at the proof-of-concept demo that was evaluated for the paper, please use the asiaccs2017 release. The simple dummy keyserver of the proof-of-concept demo can be found in the dummy-keyserver branch.

How to install

The installation steps have been tested with Ubuntu:

1. Install Node.js and npm:

    # apt-get install npm
   

2. Ubuntu calls node's binary nodejs, but node is more common:

    # ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
   

3. Install Coffeescript:

    # npm install -g coffee-script
   

4. Compile package info:

    $ cake package
   

5. Install ShareJSXML:

    $ npm install /path/to/ShareJSXML
   

6. Install remaining libs:

    $ npm install
   

7. Compile code:

    $ cake build
   

8. Link client libs:

    $ ln -s ../../node_modules/browserchannel/dist/bcsocket.js ./static/javascripts
    $ ln -s ../../node_modules/ShareJSXML/webclient/ ./static/javascripts
   

9. Start server (hint: in a screen with reduced permissions):

   • For development:

        $ DEBUG=SECRET npm start
