strongSwan

h1. PT-TLS SWIMA Server

h2. Installing the strongSwan TNC Software

First we have to install some additional Ubuntu packages needed for the strongSwan TNC build

<pre>

 sudo apt install libsystemd-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libjson0-dev

</pre>

Download the lastest strongSwan tarball

<pre>

wget https://download.strongswan.org/strongswan-5.6.0dr1.tar.bz2

</pre>

Unpack the tarball

<pre>

tar xf strongswan-5.6.0dr1.tar.bz2

</pre>

and change into the strongSwan build directory

<pre>

cd strongswan-5.6.0dr1

</pre>

Configure strongSwan with the following options

<pre>

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-gmp --enable-openssl --enable-tnc-imv --enable-tnc-pdp --enable-tnccs-20 --enable-imv-os --enable-imv-swima --enable-sqlite --enable-curl --disable-stroke --enable-swanctl --enable-systemd

</pre>

Build and install strongSwan with the commands

<pre>

make; sudo make install

</pre>

h2. Setting up a Certificate Authority using the strongSwan "pki" Tool

The strongSwan *pki* tool is very powerful and easy to use. First we create a directory where

all keys and certificates are going to be stored

<pre>

  sudo -s

  mkdir /etc/pts

  mkdir /etc/pts/pki

  cd /etc/pts/pki

</pre>

Then we generate an ECC public key pair for the Root CA and a matching self-signed CA certificate

<pre>

pki --gen --type ecdsa --size 256 --outform pem > caKey.pem

pki --self --ca --in caKey.pem --type ecdsa --dn "C=CZ, O=IETF, OU=SACM, CN=IETF 99 Prague Hackathon CA" --lifetime 3652 --outform pem > caCert.pem

</pre>

The CA certificate can be listed with the following command

<pre>

pki --print --in caCert.pem

  subject:  "C=CZ, O=IETF, OU=SACM, CN=IETF 99 Prague Hackathon CA"

  issuer:   "C=CZ, O=IETF, OU=SACM, CN=IETF 99 Prague Hackathon CA"

  validity:  not before Jul 07 08:19:08 2017, ok

             not after  Jul 07 08:19:08 2027, ok (expires in 3651 days)

  serial:    3a:98:52:2e:75:a5:a5:8b

  flags:     CA CRLSign self-signed
