tlsecho

This is a very simple server/client program to learn how to use rustls.

Building

First, you need to create private keys and certificates. The Makefile will help you do that:

$ make certs
$ ls -1 certs/
ca.cert
ca.key
client.cert
client.csr
client.fullchain
client.key
client.rsa
inter.cert
inter.csr
inter.key
openssl.cnf
server.cert
server.csr
server.fullchain
server.key
server.rsa

To build tlsecho itself, use cargo:

$ cargo build --release

Running

To run the server, you must provide tlsecho with:

  1. The certificate chain for the server;
  2. The private key (RSA) for the server.

(You can set the RUST_LOG environment variable to have more information on stderr.)

$ RUST_LOG=info ./target/release/tlsecho server --cert certs/server.fullchain --privkey certs/server.rsa

To run the client, you must provide tlsecho with:

  1. The certificate of the CA (Certification Authority) that issued the certificate for the server.

(In this example, the server does not authenticate the client.)

$ RUST_LOG=info ./target/release/tlsecho client --ca certs/ca.cert
