tlsd - a TLS daemon =================== TLSd is a daemon that both accepts and initiates TLS connections, runs processes, and provides peer certificate's fingerprint as an environment variable for them. The intent is to facilitate creation and usage of simple services for peer-to-peer networking. Examples -------- An echo server on a random port: $ tlsd -e cat Authentication: $ tlsd -p 5556 -- sh -c 'echo "Hello, ${SHA256}! I am a ${SIDE}."' Connection initiation: $ echo 'localhost 5600' | tlsd -e echo 'hello' Per-connection FIFO pairs: $ tlsd -p 5601 -e -- std2fifo -e ~/.chat/ Installation ------------ Dependencies: GnuTLS. To install from a tarball distribution: $ ./configure && make && make install It uses GNU Build System, so the standard options and targets are present. Generated files are not included into the DVCS repository. To generate them, use: $ aclocal && autoconf && autoheader && automake --add-missing X.509 certificates can be generated with GnuTLS's certtool or OpenSSL's req command. Documentation ------------- An info manual and man pages are provided.
