IoTKit Demo

Introduction

To demonstrate Virgil IoTKit in action we developed a demo based on Virgil IoTKit and its dev tools. The Demo contains samples for UNIX-like OS.

 

Demo Content

The Demo provides you with samples of key elements that are necessary to build a secure IoT lifecycle:

• common. Contains samples of HAL implementations (hardware abstraction layer). Find all implementations here.
• initializer. Implementation of initializer of IoT Device and Gateway. Find all implementations here.
• bootloader. Application that simulates a bootloader for the controller. The application performs firmware verification.
• thing. Samples of IoT Device (end-device) implementation based on IoTKit. Find examples on how to work with IoT device here.
• gateway. Samples of IoT Gateway implementation based on IoTKit. Find examples on how to work with the Cloud, Getaway or its threads here.
• dummy-keys. Testing keys for signing a testing firmware.
• tests. A set of ready code-snippets for testing the needed features.

Prerequisites

To start working with the IoTKit Demo you have to:

• Clone IoTKit repository

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/VirgilSecurity/virgil-iotkit

Run Tests

To make sure that everything goes in the right way, we also provide a set of ready code-snippets for testing the necessary features:

• Crypto: crypto algorithms (e. g. hash, RNG, AES) and crypto operations (key pair, sign/verify etc.).
• Firmware related functionality: create firmware, save/load/install.
• Security Box (test storage module): read write for signed or/and encrypted data.
• SNAP (Secure Network Adjustable Protocol tests): send, receive, etc. Navigate to the tests folder of the repository to find preferred tests and start working with them.

To run the preferred test go through the following steps:

• Clone the demo repository (if you haven't done that already)

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/VirgilSecurity/demo-iotkit-nix

• Build test project

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make rpi-tests

• Run tests
