LibOSDP - Open Supervised Device Protocol Library

Version Build CI CodeQL Travis CI Codacy Badge

This is an open source implementation of IEC 60839-11-5 Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP). The protocol is intended to improve interoperability among access control and security products. It supports Secure Channel (SC) for encrypted and authenticated communication between configured devices.

OSDP describes the communication protocol for interfacing one or more Peripheral Devices (PD) to a Control Panel (CP) over a two-wire RS-485 multi-drop serial communication channel. Nevertheless, this protocol can be used to transfer secure data over any stream based physical channel. Read more about OSDP here.

This protocol is developed and maintained by Security Industry Association (SIA).

Salient Features of LibOSDP

  • Supports secure channel communication (AES-128).
  • Can be used to setup a PD or CP mode of operation.
  • Exposes a well defined contract though a single header file.
  • No run-time memory allocation. All memory is allocated at init-time.
  • No external dependencies (for ease of cross compilation).
  • Fully non-blocking, asynchronous design.
  • Provides Python3 bindings for the C library for faster testing/integration.

C API

LibOSDP exposes a minimal set of API to setup and manage the lifecycle of OSDP devices. See include/osdp.h for more details.

Python API

To setup a device as a Control Panel in Python, you'd do something like this:

import osdp

## Setup OSDP device in Control Panel mode
cp = osdp.ControlPanel(pd_info, master_key=key)

## send a output command to PD-1
cp.send_command(1, output_cmd)

Similarly, for Peripheral Device,

import osdp

## Setup OSDP device in Peripheral Device mode
pd = osdp.PeripheralDevice(pd_info, capabilities=pd_cap)

## Set a handler for incoming commands from CP
pd.set_command_callback(command_handler_fn)

For more details, look at cp_app.py and pd_app.py.

Supported Commands and Replies

OSDP has certain command and reply IDs pre-registered. This implementation of the protocol support only the most common among them. You can see a list of commands and replies and their support status in LibOSDP here.

Dependencies

  • cmake3 (host)
  • python3 (host, optional)
  • python3-pip (host, optional)
  • doxygen (host, optional)
  • OpenSSL (host and target, optional - recommended)
  • goToMain/C-Utils (host, submodule)

For ubuntu

sudo apt install cmake python3 python3-pip python3-dev libssl-dev doxygen

Build HTML docs

pip3 install -r doc/requirements.txt
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make html_docs # output in ./docs/sphinx/

Compile LibOSDP

To build libosdp you must have cmake-3.0 (or above) and a C compiler installed. This repository produces a libosdpstatic.a and libosdp.so. You can link these with your application as needed (-losdp or -losdpstatic). Have a look at `sample/* for a quick lookup on how to consume this library and structure your application.

You can also read the API documentation for a comprehensive list of APIs that are exposed by libosdp.

git clone https://github.com/goToMain/libosdp --recurse-submodules
# git submodule update --init (if you missed doing --recurse-submodules earlier)
cd libosdp
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

# optionally
make check
make DESTDIR=/your/install/path install

Refer to this document for more information on build and cross compilation.
