Data Communication Security Project

Data communication security is applied between three virtual machines using socket programming and rest-api.

the main goals were achieved but it's still a work in progress

About Virtual Machines

1. Virtual Machine 1 (VM-01)

   • Act as a temperature sensor-1.
   • temperature_1 = random_int * 5 + 40. random_int varies from -1 to 1.
   • Able to communicate with VM-02 using socket programming.
   • Able to send sensor state to VM-03 using rest-api.
   • Able to receive input from user to trigger VM-02. More explanation will be written in a table down below.

2. Virtual Machine 2 (VM-02)

   • Act as a temperature sensor-2.
   • temperature_2 = k * ADCval + 5. The value of k is preset to 5 and ADCval varies from 0-128
   • Able to communicate with VM-01 using socket programming.
   • Able to send sensor state to VM-03 using rest-api.
   • Able to receive user input from VM-01, then give response base on the input. More explanation will be written in a table down below.

3. Virtual Machine 3 (VM-03)

   • Act as a server, a rest-api, and a place to host the website.
   • Able to receive sensor state from VM-01 and VM-02 using rest-api.
   • temperature_3 = temperature_1 - temperature_2.
   • Able to show temperature values to the website.

Explanation about input and response

Input by User	Input send to VM-02	Response by VM-02
DEC01/dec01	DEC01	k = -1
DEC02/dec02	DEC02	k = -2
INC02/inc01	INC01	k = +1
INC02/inc02	INC02	k = +2

What to Achieves

• Create 3 virtual machines.
• VM-01 & VM-02 able to communicate using socket programming.
• VM-01 & VM-02 able to communicate with VM-03 using API.
• VM-03 able to show VM-01 & VM-02 data to the web.
• Create/use a cool-looking html template.
