Dependences

a@A:~> pip3 install -r requirements.txt

How to execute

  • python3 Python-BlockClock.py

Connect to an external node first steps

WARNING! THIS IS NOT A SECURE METHOD OF CONNECTION. DO IT BY YOUR OWN RISK. THE BEST WAY IS DOING IT LOCALLY.

  • First log in on A as user a and generate a pair of authentication keys. Do not enter a passphrase:
1. a@A:~> ssh-keygen -t rsa
  Generating public/private rsa key pair.
  Enter file in which to save the key (/home/a/.ssh/id_rsa): 
  Created directory '/home/a/.ssh'.
  Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
  Enter same passphrase again: 
  Your identification has been saved in /home/a/.ssh/id_rsa.
  Your public key has been saved in /home/a/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
  The key fingerprint is:
  3e:4f:05:79:3a:9f:96:7c:3b:ad:e9:58:37:bc:37:e4 a@A
  • Now use ssh to create a directory ~/.ssh as user b on B. (The directory may already exist, which is fine):
2. a@A:~> ssh b@B mkdir -p .ssh
   b@B's password: 
  • Finally append a's new public key to b@B:.ssh/authorized_keys and enter b's password one last time:
3. a@A:~> cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh b@B 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
   b@B's password: 
  • From now on you can log into B as b from A as a without password:
4. a@A:~> ssh b@B

After this process you can execute Python-Blockclock.py
