Proof of Concept: TLS/SSL with Python

This project demonstrates a basic implementation of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) communication using Python scripts. It includes scripts for both a TLS server (server-tls.py) and a TLS client (client-tls.py), as well as a Makefile (Makefile) for automating SSL/TLS certificate management with OpenSSL.

Usage

Setting Up the Environment

1. Install Requirements: Ensure all dependencies are installed using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Generate Certificates: Use the Makefile to generate SSL/TLS certificates. Replace with the desired certificate name:

   make generate_cert NAME=<name>

3. Start Server and Client: Execute the Python scripts for the TLS server and client:

   python src/server-tls.py
   python src/client-tls.py

Cleaning Up

• Clean Certificates: Remove generated certificates for a specific name:

  make clean NAME=<name>

• Clean All: Remove all generated certificates and files:

  make clean-all
