This project is a part of the COMP.SEC.220 Security Protocol course organized by the Tampere University, Tampere, Finland.

In this work, I try to implement the AinQ scheme, a certificateless group key distribution protocol. In addition, I replicate the experiment results which are shown in the academic paper Arrows in a Quiver: A Secure Certificateless Group Key Distribution Protocol for Drones , publicly available at this link

After you cloned the repository, please run the following commands

cd python
python driver.py -e <number_of_existing_edge_drones> -n <number_of_new_drones> [-v]

For example, you want to run the protocol with 10 initial edge drones and then 100 new drones will join the existing group. The script runs in a silent mode without the flag -v

python driver_ainQ.py -e 10 -n 100

Run the below command for more detail argument description.

$ python driver_ainQ.py -h
usage: driver_ainQ.py [-h] -e EXISTING_DRONE -n NEW_DRONE [-v]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -e EXISTING_DRONE, --existing-drone EXISTING_DRONE
                        Number of existing edge drones
  -n NEW_DRONE, --new-drone NEW_DRONE
                        Number of new drones
  -v, --verbose         Verbose mode of the script
