timing_client

timing_client is a sample client program used in the timing analysis of CODEX.

The following command-line options are recognized:

• -c <config_file> The configuration file for this server.
• -s <section> The relevant section of the configuration file. If not provided, the default section will be used.

The configuration file must be in OpenSSL's CONF format and should define the following fields:

• remote_host The hostname of the remote server to contact.
• remote_port The port on remote_host to which the client should connect.
• client_cert_file The file (in PEM format) containing the client's RSA public-key certificate.
• client_private_file The file (in PEM format) containing the client's corresponding RSA private key.
• private_key_passwd [optional] The password for reading the private key in client_private_file. In a real deployment it is not advised to define this variable, but rather to let OpenSSL prompt the user for the password.
• service_cert_file The file (in PEM format) containing the service's RSA public-key certificate. This is used to identify valid responses from the service.

Here is an example of a client configuration file:

 remote_host = delegate.foo.org
 remote_port = 3456

 client_dir          = /home/bar/codex
 client_cert_file    = ${client_dir}/client.cert.pem
 client_private_file = ${client_dir}/client.private.pem
 service_cert_file   = ${client_dir}/service.cert.pem
