Secure OLSR 0.2 implementation notes (c)Andreas Tønnesen 06.05.04 This document contains information on how to use the secure OLSR plugin with the UniK olsr daemon. It does _not_ cover secure OLSR protocol issues. Lines starting with '# ' indicates shell commands. COMPILING To compile simply do: # make Note that the plugin depends on the openssl libraries. INSTALLING To install: # make install This will run ldconfig to update the dynamic linker. It might take a while. USAGE To make olsrd load the secure OLSR plugin add the following line in the olsrd configuration file: LOAD_PLUGIN olsrd_secure.so.X.X replacing the Xes with the version of the plugin. The plugin uses a shared secret key - for nodes to participate in the OLSR routing domain they need to use the key used by the other nodes. The key is 128-bits of size and is read from the file: /root/.olsr/olsrd_secure_key Copy the key to this file an all nodes. The plugin will terminate olsrd if this file cannot be found. Now start olsrd and the let the plugin do its thing :) - Andreas
