A simple program that stores information. Accepts commands to set, get, or delete a key-data pair via an RPC protocol based on MessagePack.
The primary use of safesec is to simply store encrypted data. This program does not contain any encryption or decryption routines and so cannot read any stored encrypted information.
While in heavy development, safesec will accept RPC commands to set, get, and delete key-data pairs. However, it will be a requirement for version 1.0 that only the get RPC command is accepted without any form of authentication, with the set and delete commands requiring authentication.
At this time, the exact authentication protocol has not been decided upon yet.
Please keep in mind that I am using this project as a way to learn the Rust programming language. As such, there will definitely be things that are coded sub-optimally.
As safesec is in heavy development, there are no pre-built binaries. To build, first install the Rust toolchain. While the toolchain may be installable from a package management system depending on your platform, it currently is best to install via rustup. Please visit www.rustup.rs to download and run the installer.
Once Rust is installed, simply enter these commands to confirm that the test suite succeeds:
$ git clone --branch 0.1.0 https://github.com/arielmakestuff/safesec.git
$ cd safesec
$ cargo testThis will run all unit, integration, and doc tests.
To run the safesec server itself, run the following commands from the root of the project directory:
$ cargo build --release
$ target/release/safesecsafesec simply stores and retrieves data
- Create, update, retrieve, or delete data via RPC commands
- Storage is provided via
LMDB - Contains no encryption/decryption routines so cannot understand any stored encrypted data
