Port Python Server SDK

This repository contains server source code for the Port python server.

Part of source code is also pymrtd library which is used to parse eMRTD file structure, verify integrity of eMRTD files.

Prerequisites

Python >= 3.9
PIP

Linux

• MySQL: mysqlclient requires MySQL development headers and libraries.

  # Debian/Ubuntu
  apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev build-essential
  

  # Red Hat / CentOS
  yum install mysql-devel
  

• PostgreSQL: psycopg2 requires additional tools, libraries and headers to be installed on your system. See: https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html#prerequisites

• SQLite: if the installation of sqlcipher3 fails you might try to install binary package:

  python -m pip install install sqlcipher3-binary
  

Install

Following command installs port and pymrtd libraries with all required dependency.

Production with no extra database drivers

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Production with database driver for MySQL:

python -m pip install -r requirements-mysql.txt

Production with database driver for PostgreSQL:

python -m pip install -r requirements-postgresql.txt

Production with database driver for SQLite:

python -m pip install -r requirements-sqlite.txt

Development:

python -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Configure PostgreSQL database

• Install PostgreSQL

  sudo apt update

  sudo apt install libpq-dev postgresql postgresql-contrib

• Login to PostgreSQL

  sudo -i -u postgres

• Create user

  createuser <username>

• Create database

  createdb <dbname>

• Set user password

  psql

  psql=# alter user <username> with encrypted password '<password>';

• Set user privileges

  psql=# grant all privileges on database <dbname> to <username> ;

Usage

To extract eMRTD trustchain certificates (CSCA/DSC) from master list files (*.ml) and PKD LDAP files (*.ldif) use python tool pkdext.

In production python should be run in optimized mode (by passing the -O or -OO switch to the interpreter, or by setting the PYTHONOPTIMIZE environment variable to 1 (or higher) to eliminate any assert type checking code and speed up execution.
