SEEPost: a secure electronic messaging system

Dirk N. Nederveen & Anton F. Jongsma

Introduction

This is the source code of our bachelor project named SEEPost.

Requirements

gcc >= 4.6
bobcat >= 2.21 http://bobcat.sourceforge.net/
botan >= 1.10 http://botan.randombit.net/
ccbuild >= 1.5.7 http://www.logfish.net/pr/ccbuild/

Building

For building the client and server program follow these four steps:

cd src/seepost
ccbuild
cd ../
ccbuild

And you are done!

Getting it running

In docs/example you can find some example configuration files for a localhost server. To setup the server:

./server -v -f ../docs/example/localhost_server

To open the client:

./client -v -f ../docs/example/alice_localhost.skf

and

./client -v -f ../docs/example/bob_localhost.skf

To setup your own server use the serverkeygen script in src/ to create a server configuration. Then run the server. Create some accounts with the clientkeygen script. Put the .pkf files in the accounts/ directory of your server and restart it.

TODO

These are some things that should be improved in the code

• Replace Blob by a MemoryRegion from botan
• Create account directories in blobstore/ and inqueue/ if needed
• Make the protocol more consistent as described the thesis.
• The SEND syntax is weird
• Merge the client_functions, server_functions and seepost library things together
• More documentation
