Specification and reference implementation of a protocol for secure, real-time transactions.
The highlights of this repository are
- a specification of a protocol for secure, real-time transactions that may or may not be offline,
- a reference implementation of that specification.
The former can be found in the spec/ folder, the latter in the source/ directory.
Reading the specification should be fairly straightforward, but the reference implementation warrants an explanation.
The reference implementation is coded in Python 3 and depends on the pycryptodome library. Install it by spelling pip3 install pycryptodome. For more detailed installation instructions, take a look at pycryptodome's installation guide.
To run the automated tests, spell python3 source/unit_tests.py.
