This project is an implementation for a remote software update (RSU) protocol that could be used for remote software update of devices over the internet. The RSU protocol lies on top of QUIC and lives in the user space (in contrast to the kernel space) of both the server and the devices.
The RSU protocol acts as a communication channel between a central server and the remote devices. Through this network, the remote devices can request software updates from the server and the server can send software updates to the devices.
The RSU protocol is implemented in Python.

- Secure Communication: The RSU protocol uses TLS 1.3 to secure the communication between the server and the devices.
- Reliable Communication: The RSU protocol uses QUIC to provide reliable communication between the server and the devices.
- Software Update: The RSU protocol allows the devices to request software updates from the server and the server to send software updates to the devices.
1. Generate Certificates (Optional)
sh ./certs/generate.sh2. Create a virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv3. Activate the virtual environment
source ./.venv/bin/activate4. Install the requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt5. Run the server
python3 rsu.py serverOptional arguments:
--cert: The path to the server certificate file. Default:certs/server.crt--key: The path to the server private key file. Default:certs/server.key--port: The port number to listen on. Default:4433--host: The host address to listen on. Default:localhost
6. Run the client
The client should be run only after the server is running.
python3 rsu.py clientOptional arguments:
--cert: The path to the client certificate file. Default:certs/client.crt--key: The path to the client private key file. Default:certs/client.key--port: The port number to connect to. Default:4433--host: The host address to connect to. Default:localhost
