I'm stucked on this assignment given to me.. but there is no idea in my head right now..
I found out that doing client server programming in the kernel layer required
some additional knowledge of linux kernel socket programming. You can't
use send( ),recv( ),socket( ) or listen( ) funtion (or system calls) that we used
in lab session in the kernel level socket programming.
So, to make your work simpler, i divided the assignment into 2 parts.
1. You Need to print as much as possible the kernel process data structure
(task_struct). Do this as kernel module that use the same Makefile as
we did in lab session.
Compile as progOS1.ko
2. You need to implement one time pad encryption communication
between client and server. You may use the same pad or you can also
generate new set of pad for each buffer sending. Send pad and
ciphertext together.
Compile as OTPserver.c and OTPclient.c
