Re-implement the AinQ Scheme

This project is a part of the COMP.SEC.220 Security Protocol course organized by the Tampere University, Tampere, Finland.

In this work, I try to implement the AinQ scheme, a certificateless group key distribution protocol. In addition, I replicate the experiment results which are shown in the academic paper Arrows in a Quiver: A Secure Certificateless Group Key Distribution Protocol for Drones , publicly available at this link

How to run the protocol

After you cloned the repository, please run the following commands

cd python
python driver.py -e <number_of_existing_edge_drones> -n <number_of_new_drones> [-v]

For example, you want to run the protocol with 10 initial edge drones and then 100 new drones will join the existing group. The script runs in a silent mode without the flag -v

python driver_ainQ.py -e 10 -n 100

Run the below command for more detail argument description.

$ python driver_ainQ.py -h
usage: driver_ainQ.py [-h] -e EXISTING_DRONE -n NEW_DRONE [-v]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -e EXISTING_DRONE, --existing-drone EXISTING_DRONE
                        Number of existing edge drones
  -n NEW_DRONE, --new-drone NEW_DRONE
                        Number of new drones
  -v, --verbose         Verbose mode of the script

Report of experiment results

To build the full PDF report, please run the following commands

cd report
make

Try to install required packages if any messages about missing packages would be raised.
