pyroughtime 1.0.0

pyroughtime - A Python 3 Roughtime implementation

pyroughtime

An experimental Roughtime client and server implementation in Python 3 using the IETF draft at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ntp-roughtime-07.

Dependencies

• ed25519
• PyCryptodome

Installing on Linux

If you run into an error like "This environment is externally managed", you can create a venv and install the dependencies with:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y python3.11 python3.11-dev python3.11-venv
$ python3.11 -m venv "venv"
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Currently we have to use Python 3.11 or earlier due to ed25519 not being compatible with Python 3.12.

Example

From Python

from pyroughtime import RoughtimeClient, RoughtimeServer

serv, publ = RoughtimeServer.test_server()
cl = RoughtimeClient()
local_reply = cl.query("127.0.0.1", 2002, publ, newver=True)
google_reply = cl.query("roughtime.sandbox.google.com", 2002, "etPaaIxcBMY1oUeGpwvPMCJMwlRVNxv51KK/tktoJTQ=", newver=False)
serv.stop()
print(local_reply["prettytime"])
print(google_reply["prettytime"])
