Presentation Language Tool

A simple tool to parse the TLS/MLS presentation language for research and learning purposes.

Usage

Currently, this tool generates a dependency graph of all structs and enums defined in a given <file> and outputs a graph in either GML or GV format.

plt <file> [gml|gv]

You can try this out by running ...

cargo run -- assets/draft-ietf-mls-protocol.tls

... and using a GML viewer such as yEd. (Don't forget to apply an auto-layout.)

Warning

This tool is not thoroughly tested and might produce invalid GML/GV output. Use at your own risk!

Example

The following definition ...

struct {    
    CredentialType credential_type;    
    select (Credential.credential_type) {    
        case basic:    
            opaque identity<V>;    
    
        case x509:    
            Certificate chain<V>;    
    };    
} Credential;

... is parsed into ...

Struct(
    Struct {
        name: "Credential",
        items: [
            Field(
                Field {
                    type: "CredentialType",
                    name: "credential_type",
                    range: None,
                    optional: false,
                    default: None,
                },
            ),
            Select(
                Select {
                    over: "Credential.credential_type",
                    cases: [
                        Case {
                            left: "basic",
                            right: Fields(
                                [
                                    Field {
                                        type: "opaque",
                                        name: "identity",
                                        range: Some(
                                            Variable,
                                        ),
                                        optional: false,
                                        default: None,
                                    },
                                ],
                            ),
                        },
// ...
                    ],
                },
            ),
        ],
    },
)
