SecureX Message Passing library (libsxmp)
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Purposes.
|
|
This library is designed to implement secure message passing protocol with
|
|
embedded RPC support. One of the goal was to implement very flexible security
|
|
permission types i.e. to have a few methods to limit access depends on some
|
|
information.
|
|
It might be used in a wide area of different services kind.
|
|
Going further, the other important goal was a simple and clean protocol and
|
|
S-expression was used (it also useful if you want remote host to evaluate
|
|
something).
|
|
|
|
2. Documentation
|
|
The best API documentation in *nix world is a manpages. This is the option used
|
|
in this library.
|
|
README file contains the description of build process, but it's very common for
|
|
*nix systems.
|
|
|
|
3. Examples
|
|
To give a start point examples was created (stupid and simple ones), below the
|
|
list of currently existing examples:
|
|
* filelistd/filelistc - a file lister daemon and client. This is a simple
|
|
client/server application used to list the directory content from the remote
|
|
host using client application
|
|
* streamfld/streamflc - the same file lister daemon and client, but
|
|
implemented using builtin streams feature.
|
|
All examples located within the project under the `examples/' directory.
|
|
|
|
4. Tools and scripts
|
|
A few ones exists (or will appear within the next releases). The lists below.
|
|
4.1 Scripts (located under `scripts/')
|
|
* create-x509-example.sh - a simple script to create x.509 certificates i.e.
|
|
it will create a root certificate (public and private) and user x.509 signed
|
|
by the root. It useful to run examples or to quick start with development of
|
|
your own stuff.
|
|
|
|
5. Contribute
|
|
Anyone can create a patches, submit fixes and new features, examples, documents
|
|
or any other useful stuff (beer or few €/$ is also useful).
|
|
All this might be discussed with the author (contact me via the following email
|
|
avdolainen@zoho.com).
|
|
|
|
6. Is it stable ?
|
|
Yes, but debugging, fixing is ongoing process. To be sure better to use the
|
|
latest release, not the last stuff commited to the git.
|
|
Later unit tests will be created to make it `rock solid stable' or how it might
|
|
sounds `very mature'. BTW, in the process of the old releases development many
|
|
bugs (or memory leaks) was found in other libraries.
|
|
|
|
7. Feedback
|
|
I will be quite happy not only in case of any donation made, but also if you
|
|
will inform me about your use case of this library.
|
|
Also, it will be nice to add this library to linux distributions, *bsd as
|
|
many as possible (if so, please let me know).
|
|
Anyways, you feel free to write me about questions and other things.
