Evaluates a distributed and a contributory ECC as well as traditional Diffie-Hellman (DH) GKA approach.
Adjust the ABSOLUTE_PROJECT_PATH variable according to your project path.
The eval_automization_scripts/start_runs.bash script starts evaluation runs. The parameters before the for loop can be adjusted. The key agreement protocols and cryptography algorithms can be adjusted by the following compile definitions:
PROTO_DST_DH: The distributed DH protocolPROTO_STR_DH: The contributory DH protocol
DEFAULT_DH: The traditional DH cryptography algorithmECC_DH: The Elliptic Curve DH cryptography algorithm
The protocols are also able to maintain the key agreement despite message loss by adding the RETRANSMISSIONS compile definition in the eval_automization_scripts/start_evaluation.bash script to the compile method (e.g., ... add_compile_definitions($CRYPTO_ALGORITHM $KEY_AGREEMENT_PROTOCOL RETRANSMISSIONS) ...)
Large send and receive buffers can be used to carry out the evaluation with several hundred processes without retransmissions. For example, if you want to use 8GB (1024*1024*8=8388608) for the buffers, create the file /etc/sysctl.d/99-netbuffer.conf. Then insert
net.core.rmem_max = 8388608
net.core.wmem_max = 8388608
in separate lines in /etc/sysctl.d/99-netbuffer.conf. To apply the changes reboot or execute sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/99-netbuffer.conf.
- It is possible that multiple processes get the same port, which is handled by
