The office demo can be run in secure mode using the ROS 2 DDS-Security integration (SROS2) capabilities. This security features will provide encryption, authentication and access control to the whole ROS2 setup of RMF.
Because of the heavy development undergoing RMF, changes happen in a very fast manner. Therefore, the ROS 2 Access Control Policies declared in the office.policy.xml file are only guaranteed to work with the RMF release 1.1.X, so please set all the git repos of your RMF workspace to point to the tag 1.1.0. Alternatively you could update the policies yourself to any later version of RMF (PRs are welcome if you do so 😏).
There is a tmux based script that automates pane splitting and the execution of all the required commands to run the office demo. In order to run it this way just open a tmux terminal and run the script.
bash ./install/rmf_demos/share/rmf_demos/sros2/office_deploy.bash
Alongside, the following steps can be used to run all required commands individually.
To use ROS 2 to secure the office demo a few environmental variables need to be set. Adding them to a script would make it easier to source them in any shell where we need to run ROS 2 secured nodes.
echo 'export ROS_SECURITY_KEYSTORE=~/rmf_demos_ws/keystore
export ROS_SECURITY_ENABLE=true
export ROS_SECURITY_STRATEGY=Enforce
export ROS_DOMAIN_ID=42' > sros2_environment.shA few security artifacts like signed permission files, identity certificates and Certificate Authorities (CA) are needed to enable the DDS Security. They can be generated using the security tools from the ROS2 cli. Because of #242 and until its solution #238 is released it is recommended to generate the security artifacts before switching to cyclone_dds.
source sros2_environment.sh
mkdir keystore
ros2 security generate_artifacts -k keystore -p ./install/rmf_demos/share/rmf_demos/sros2/policies/office.policy.xml
It is recommended to use cyclone dds with the secure version of the demo, make sure it is properly installed, with security support and selected through the correspondent environment variable (here you can find instructions on how to do it). Adding this to the environment script makes it easier to source in any terminal that might need it,
echo 'export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp' >> sros2_environment.shBecause SROS2 does not support ros2 launch yet all the different nodes will have to be launched individually. A yaml file with the parameters of all the nodes is provided. One terminal per execution is recommended for an easier debug of the system. Make sure you source ~/rmf_demos_ws/install/setup.bash in each of them before executing the different commands.
