TLS Lab

This project is part of UCLA ACM Cyber's series of quarterly projects where a topic within cybersecurity is chosen for exploration.

As the name suggests, this project deals with Transport Layer Security (TLS), and specifically attempts to implement TLS v1.3 for a better understanding of how a secure communication channel is set-up across the web.

Running our TLS v1.3 implementation

This project is incomplete. The following commands will not result in a working TLS handshake and opening of secure channel for data exchange.

Run the module by running the command

python3 -m tlsimpl

from the root directory of the repo. The (fake) server that we will communicate is OpenSSL's s_server from which we will receive the Server Hello, etc.
