NetBill Protocol in Theory

What is NetBill? [From Original Paper]

NetBill is a system for micropayments for information goods (digital commodities) on the Internet. A customer, represented by a client computer, wishes to buy information from a merchant’s server. An account server (the NetBill server), maintains accounts for both customers and merchants, linked to conventional financial institutions.

The NetBill Transaction Model [From Original Paper]

The NetBill transaction model involves three parties: the customer, the merchant and the NetBill transaction server. A transaction involves three phases: price negotiation, goods delivery, and payment.

Implementation Of NetBill Protocol

In this project me (Navid Malek) and my fellow friend Reza Rahimi implemented most of NetBill transaction protocol, including:

  • Transaction Protocol

Paper Sections

3.2. The Price Request Phase

3.3. The Goods Delivery Phase

3.4. The Payment Phase

  • Error recovery (Not enough balance, Courruption, No access, etc.)
  • Pseudonyms Protocol

Paper Sections

4.2. Pseudonyms

  • Access Control Mechanism

Mini Access contol app not According to paper

Approach

Our main focus was to implement the protocol, so the approach we take was to use intermediary files that act as Sockets; hence, for various steps of protocol istead of writing data into socket and read from it, we have used files. In the next section, I have provided more details about the files and codes presented.

How To Run

  1. run the following command in terminal: git clone https://github.com/navidpadid/NetBill_Transaction_Protocol/

  2. run the codes

Here are various scenarios which I've ran the code from a fresh clone of repository.

Some scenarios include: with/without pseudonyms, with/without access to buy, with/wihtout NetBill account, with/wihtout enough credits to buy a commodity.

This appliaction prototype was part of my project for E-Commerce course.

Loading Prototype Tour

It was made with proto.io

There are other resouces for this application such as: Detailed Bussiness plan, Business model, App Workflow, etc.

Since they were available in persian, i didn't upload them on the Internet, but if anyone is interested in documents, just drop me an email!

How to run the prototype?

Just open index.html with a browser.

Various limited documents from my work tools when I used to work as DevOps Engineer, these are basic usage and limited testing results ( because I don't have the premission to publicize the full documents that I have written for my work )

Description:

ETCD_CLUSTER.pdf ==> Setting up an ETCD cluster

objective:

• setup an etcd cluster on 3 servers

• write appropriate service to be sure ETCD will be always running

  • ETCD version ==> 3.3.9

  • server OS ==> CentOS7

The related ansible code are in the mycontrolansible directory.

LizardFS.pdf ==> Setting up LizardFS and testing it

objective:

• setup simple LizardFS master on one server

• test LizardFS performance on 3,5,7 chunk servers (HDD)

• test LizardFS performance on SSD

  • LizardFS version ==> 3.12

ProxySQL.pdf ==> Set up and testing ProxySQL

objectives:

• setup ProxySQL load balancer on one server

• configuring ProxySQL

• test the performance and load balancing of ProxySQL with SYSBENCH

• setup ProxySQL architecture with no single point of failure

telegrafLogparser.pdf ==> Using Telegraf to Parse Custom Logs

objective:

• read custom logs with telegraf

• parse custom logs with telegraf

• generate an output from custom logs to influxdb

The TIG stack [ telegraf, influxdb, grafana ]

DatabaseTestDoc.pdf ==> Testing Database response time

We will test 4 databases ( this doc is very limited and acts as a road map for more professional tests ):

RDB: -mysql -postgres

No-SQL: -mongo -cassandra

GrafanaPrometheus.pdf ==> Setup Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring (very basic)

objectives:

• setup Prometheus server

• setup Prometheus exporters

• setup Grafana server

• setup Grafana dashboard

GalleraCluster.pdf ==> Setting up a MySQL Gallera cluster (very basic)

objective:

• setup an MySQL Gallera cluster on 3 servers

• write apporopiate service to be sure MySQL Gallera cluster will be always running

  • MySQL version ==> 5.7

  • MySQL-wsrep ==> 5.7

  • server OS ==> CentOS7

TCP_tune.pdf ==> Some TCP tuning parameters that i have gathered form internet ( this is a messy doc, just gathered information from Internet, for more info on TCP_TUNING refer to my blog! )

In this post we will learn how to proxy all the network's traffic (TCP and UDP) transparently through TOR with least difficulty.

Download full tutorial from here

Requirements:

  • Linux OS (tested on alpine and ubuntu)

  • iptables (Linux firewall)

  • RedSocks

What is RedSocks?

Reference: https://github.com/darkk/redsocks

Redsocks is the tool that allows you to proxify(redirect) network traffic through a SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTPs proxy server. It works on the lowest level, the kernel level (iptables). The other possible way is to use application level proxy, when the proxy client is implemented in the same language as an application is written in. Redsocks operates on the lowest system level, that’s why all running application don’t even have an idea that network traffic is sent through a proxy server, as a result it is called a transparent proxy redirector.

System’s Architecture and Setup for TCP Connections

So this is the big image, almost every tcp packet will be redirected to port 12345 which redsocks service listens for incoming packets; after that, redsocks will redirect the received traffic to another ip and port in socks protocol format.

Also have in mind that for iptables in docker, you have to use docker run --privileged flag

In this post I will show you not only how to run any multimedia application inside docker, but also in efficient and easy way.

Download full tutorial from here

Requirements:

  • Linux OS and Docker (tested on ubuntu)

  • X or Wayland (Linux Display Servers)

    • Ensure that the packages for an X or Wayland server are present on the Docker host. Please consult your distribution's documentation if you're not sure what to install. A display server does not need to be running ahead of time.

  • X11docker

    • x11docker allows Docker-based applications to utilize X and/or Wayland on the host. Please follow the x11docker installation instructions and ensure that you have a working setup on the Docker host.

What is X11Docker?

Reference: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/

x11docker allows to run graphical applications (or entire desktops) in Docker Linux containers.

  • Docker allows to run applications in an isolated container environment. Containers need much less resources than virtual machines for similar tasks.

  • Docker does not provide a display server that would allow to run applications with a graphical user interface.

  • x11docker fills the gap. It runs an X display server on the host system and provides it to Docker containers.

  • Additionally x11docker does some security setup to enhance container isolation and to avoid X security leaks. This allows a sandbox environment that fairly well protects the host system from possibly malicious or buggy software.

Here are the slides from my presentation at Nopayar, when I used to be a DevOps Engineer.

The slide contains many best practices gathered (not written) by me for better scaling and high-availibility of applications. ( mainly web applications)

The slide covers:

  • ScalingHierarchy
  • Pinterest Best Practices
  • Data Partitioning and Sharding Patterns
  • Sharding Considerations and Techniques
  • ProxySQLSharding and
  • ID Generation Approaches
  • Query Optimization


I've tried to put a refrence for each section for more information, but there are some sections that don't have any refrence at all, you can easily find the refrences with a quick search in Internet.
