To run the insecure test code, first download the project tarball from the course main page. Untar the tarball then run make on the project root directory. Once you have compile the project, to start the server:
To run a test gui client:
To run a text client:
You should look though the insecure protocol sample that we
have provided and see how to use the Hamsam API. Use the secure
protocol skeleton code that is in the tarball. In order to grade
your project, you must use the APIs in the secure protocol
skeleton. Any new method you declare must be private in secure
protocol class. You may not change any of the files outside of
hamsam/protocol/secure directory. If you think you
need to change a file outside of that directory, please contact
your TA. Submit instructions will come later, but you will only
submit files in the hamsam/protocol/secure
directory.
We are still in the process of developing the test client. It should show you the basic behavior of the project you have to implement. We will push out a patch to the testclients next week to show ignore messages, failed messages and bug fixes. You should be able to do design document and start working on your protocol with the current test clients.
Stay tuned. There will be a way for you to incorporate certiticates or other public key infrastructure into your project's implementation.
