# Peer-to-Peer Secure Update

This project aims to provide a framework to securely distribute system update

using peer-to-peer procotol that works in heterogeneous network environment,

in the presence of NATs and firewalls, where there is no necessarily direct

access from a management node to the devices being updated.

The framework combines several key techniques:

1. STUN-based UDP hole punching to discover and open NAT bindings

2. A gossip protocol to deliver short messages to distribute update notifications

3. BitTorrent to securely distribute the software update

This project is part of Federated RaspberryPi micro-Infrastructure Testbed - [FRuIT](https://fruit-testbed.org).

## To build

Requirements:

- Go version >=1.9

- dep (https://github.com/golang/dep)

```

cd p2p-update

dep ensure

./build

```

This generates an executable binary file: `p2pupdate`.

## To run

The application can run on any Linux operating system.

### Server mode

The server mode runs a lightweight STUN service to bootstrap a new peer and advertise

its session to existing peers. Both the update notification and file are distributed

using peer-to-peer protocols.

To run in server mode, invoke:

```

./p2pupdate server

```

## Agent mode

The agent mode performs peer-to-peer communications with other agents to send/receive

update notifications, use it to download/serve the update files, and deploy the updates

on local node.

To run in agent mode, invoke:

```

./p2pupdate agent

```

There are two options

- `--config-file`, is used to pass a custom config file.

- `--default-config`, prints default configuration to standard output.
