Plouton is designed to be a secure client/server/gateway solution for managing simple banking transactions. Its protocol consists of Diffie-Hellman style key exchange atop a public key cryptosystem, with a discrete intermediatary element that may be built alongside the client and server to simulate compartmentalization of communication at boundary points of a computer network.

Most importantly, this facilitates quality assurance through easing the implementation of performance testing and analysis of possible attack vectors. Its author(s) aim(s) to deliver reliable and transparent security features.

Plouton leverages the readline, gcrypt, pthread, and SQLite3 libraries.
