Lox

Lox is a reputation-based bridge distribution system that provides privacy protection to users and their social graph and is open to all users. Lox is written in rust and requires cargo to test. Install Rust

To run the tests used for our experimental results run:

cargo test --release -- --nocapture TESTNAME

Where TESTNAME is one of:

| TESTNAME | Run Time (m)| |------|-------| | stats_test_trust_levels | 1716.15499 | | stats_test_invitations | 1379.40724 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_05 | 1487.23794 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_010 | 1489.58697 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_15 | 1496.0887 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_20 | 1506.3363 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_25 | 1505.42065 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_30 | 1517.29230 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_35 | 1520.33539 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_40 | 1530.58220 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_45 | 1542.31211 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_50 | 1556.33415 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_55 | 1562.36914 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_60 | 1575.24665 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_65 | 1589.46323 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_70 | 1604.29720 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_75 | 1621.36433 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_80 | 1634.56597 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_85 | 1652.31102 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_90 | 1670.11576 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_95 | 1691.54106 | | stats_test_percent_blockage_migration_100 | 1709.28131 |

Note that: our implementation is coded such that the reachability certificate expires at 00:00 UTC. A workaround has been included in each test to pause if it is too close to this time so the request won't fail. In reality, if the bucket is still reachable, a user could simply request a new reachability token if their request fails for this reason (a new certificate should be available prior to the outdated certificate expiring).
