Welcome to Castor, this project toys around with Identity Based Authentication and Ciphertext Based Attribute Encryption to encrypt and authenticate syslog messages. You can easily build it with SBT. The only thing you have to take care of yourself is installing the PBC library and the java layer wrapping around, following these steps: http://gas.dia.unisa.it/projects/jpbc/docs/pbcwrapper.html The CPABE part currently uses the implementation found here: https://github.com/wakemecn/cpabe/ A fork reflecting a few additions can be found here: https://github.com/Shastick/cpabe It is contained in the castor repo' as a submodule, so make sure you update it too if you clone castor. A compilation guide can be found here: http://shastick.github.com/castor/ Please don't hesitate to e-mail me any question you could have, J.
