Sammanfattning
Transferring files between computers and servers has been an area of interest since early days of the modern computer era. With the rise of distributed computing and data centres, the interest has only grown stronger. Today’s solutions for transferring files often rely on Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and Secure Shell Hosting (SSH) for doing so securely. Any vulnerabilities in the protocols would lead to a huge gap to fill. The newly released Noise Protocol Framework provides a promising tool for designing a new secure file transfer protocol. The framework allows for the creation of Diffie-Hellman based protocols that provides confidentiality, integrity and authentication. After a review of the security provided by SSH for SFTP, this thesis provides a proof-of-concept for a new secure file transfer protocol developed from the Noise Protocol Framework. In addition to the specification a reference implementation is provided to allow further testing and benchmarking. <br/> The proposed protocol, Hermod, removes the drawbacks found when configuring a secure SSH and SFTP server while still providing the same security properties. Hermod also comes with improved performance compared to SFTP, especially for smaller files. <br/> <br/> <b>Zoom-länk:</b> <a href="https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/69732993011">https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/69732993011</a>
