pq-strongswan wrapper for data collection and analysis. Advancing IKEv2 for the Quantum Age: Challenges in Post-Quantum Cryptography Implementation on Constrained Network

For full documentation refer to the Project Github Pages

Quick Setup Guide

The data-collection part of this project operates like a wrapper to the strongX509/pq-strongswan docker container. However, there are some modification from the pq-strongswan base repository. We want to specially note that the work by Andreas Steffen in making the pq-strongswan repo was of great help in starting this project. The core of his efforts are at the core of this project.

Before you start

The following pre-requisites that are required to use this project.

• Docker
• Python 3

Setup

Let's walk through building the docker container and installing required python modules.

1. Open a terminal console
2. Optional: Navigate to the pq-strongswan folder and build the image manually.Use the command: docker build -t strongx509/pq-strongswan:latest .

   If the image strongx509/pq-strongswan:latest does not exist in the local Docker host, Docker will automatically attempt to pull it from Docker Hub. This is also reliable.

3. Install Python dependencies: pip install numpy python-on-whales pyyaml tqdm

   If you are using a Python virtual environment, be sure to activate that environment before installing the modules. You can also try running pip install -r settings.txt.

4. Run python3 ./Orchestration.py and manually specify the log storage script and test configuration file The test configuration files are located at /data_collection/configs/*.yaml

You did it! The required resources are now installed!
