In Linux system, you need to first install openssl, which is used for AES-256 encryption.
sudo apt-get install openssl-lib cmake
In the project folder, perform the following commands
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
and it will automatically find the openssl include directory and libraries. If not found, you can also compile the server and client source file manually (on OS X):
gcc client.c -I/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2l/include/ -L/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2l/lib/ -lssl -lcrypto -o client
gcc server.c -o server -lpthread -I/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2l/include/ -L/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2l/lib/ -lssl -lcrypto
After all, you will have the server and client program.
The encryption algorithm here we use is AES-256 which requires a 256 bits long key and a 128 bits long initial vector (iv). In my project, I use the the system random number to generate the key and iv.
Key: 62668e4cfe963684ed1a9f9c4fc3d5128d1495c2fc4dea3cbddd0c6fb3399a04
IV: 2b1e923005fdc2526d5cd2f5599670e9
Numbers generated by the rand and random APIs are not cryptographically secure. In OS X, given the same initial seed value, both functions reproducibly generate a consistent sequence of values each time you run them, and neither generates an equally distributed set of possible values.
In OS X, we get cryptographically secure pseudorandom numbers by reading bytes from the /dev/random device file. Each byte from this file is a cryptographically random value from 0-255. By concatenating these bytes, you can generate a random number of an arbitrary size.
For Linux, the only difference is that the random bytes are read from /dev/urandom.
To generate a symmetric key, use -g option for the client program
./client -g
./server (terminal 1)
./client (terminal 2)
The sample output would be like
