I have installed SROS in a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 machine, following the instructions at http://wiki.ros.org/SROS/Installation...

..and I've added the following line to my .bashrc file:

source ~/sros/install/setup.bash

I was able to successfully run the key server from SROS by issuing a "sroskeyserver" command.

However, when running "sroscore" in a separate terminal I get the following error:

initializing node's keystore: /home/david/.ros/sros/keystore/nodes/roslaunch

... logging to /home/david/.ros/log/3ccb8758-6ba5-11e7-97cb-080027727615/roslaunch-david-VirtualBox-8839.log

@ruffsl, can you perhaps let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

I think what you're missing here is first starting sroscore in training mode so that all the various topics/services and parameters can be learned during a bootstrap session i.e:
sroscore --policy_mode train

You can then sroslaunch the other nodes, then eventually take it all down and clean out the keystore and start again with out train mode when you want to enforce the new access control structure, and take the keyserver offline after that when you don't what to give out more keys.

From the SROS demo I did at ROSCon16, you can find the walkthrough I did to bootstrap my keystore. You can rewatch/copy just the walk through commands in detail here:
https://asciinema.org/a/88519

Sorry for not yet writing out a tutorial for it, much of it is still changing, but the sros CLI and necessary environment is mostly documented at:
http://wiki.ros.org/SROS/CommandLineT...
http://wiki.ros.org/SROS/EnvironmentV...
for sroscore in particular: http://wiki.ros.org/SROS/sroscore

I'm currently working on porting many of the ideas and lessons learned from SRSO1 to SROS2, but feel free to any followup questions.

Thank you @ruffsl. After testing in train mode, I strictly followed your walkthrough, and in the beginning I ran into some issues: apparently the "sed" command you use does not work in my system. I got this exception in sroscore.

So here are my steps (w/out "sed"):

rm -rf ~/.ros

sroskeyserver

sroscore --policy_mode train

sroslaunch rospy_tutorials talker_listener.launch (Ctrl+C / listener not working)

cd ~/.ros

rm -rf sros/keystore/nodes/

sroscore

sroslaunch rospy_tutorials talker_listener.launch (working!)

Good to hear!
