Panda Key Exchange uses the Diffie-Hellman key exchange to generate a common passcode between two computers over a unsecured network.

Installing

You'll need to compile panda from source, but don't worry, it ain't that hard.

You'll need:

  • GHC compiler
  • Cabal
  • Something that can run the Haskell Platform [Linux, Windows, OSX, etc]

Compiling (The Cabal way)

  1. Clone the repo
  2. cd into repo
  3. cabal update
  4. cabal configure
  5. cabal install
  6. You should be able to use panda as a command!

How to use

Panda works by using the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, which means you'll have to move the actual keys around yourself, but panda will generate them for you.

panda gen -n 202

Will generate a key, with a secret number of 202. This secret number should be much more random than this.

panda make -p PANDAKEY:8009-10007:5 -s PANDASECRET:31a3b

Will generate the result, p should be someone elses public key, and s should be your secret key.
