Rabe console app

This is an example console app, to test the implemented schemes

For integration in distributed applications contact us.

Building

In order to compile and test:

• install rust nightly
• git clone library
• install build-essential
• Do one of the following
  • run cargo run -p rabe-console from parent directory
  • run cargo run from this directory
  • compile using cargo build --release and afterwards run executable ./target/release/rabe

Example calls using executable

• Setup a AC17 CP-ABE scheme

  • $ rabe --s AC17CP setup

  • This generates msk.key and pk.key

• Generate a new key with attributes "A" and "B"

  • $ rabe --s AC17CP keygen --a 'A and B'

  • This generates a new key with attributes "A" and "B" and saves it to sk.key

• Encrypt a message with the HUMAN or JSON language policy "A" and "B"

  • $ rabe --s AC17CP --l HUMAN encrypt message.txt '"A" and "B"'
    OR
    rabe --s AC17CP --l JSON encrypt message.txt '{"name":"and","children":[{"name":"B"},{"name":"A"}]}'

  • This generates a ciphertext and saves it to message.txt.ct

• Decrypt a ciphertext with sk.key

  • $ rabe --s AC17CP decrypt message.txt.ct

  • This decrypts the ciphertext and saves it to message.txt
