TCP-Client-Server for Voting with user authentication.
multi_server.py: Voting registered w.r.t ip.
multi_server_email.py: Vote registered w.r.t email.
port = 5545
ip = 192.168.1.17
Global Variables:
1. user_dict = {email: password, ip, time}: Dictionary to store user info while signup()
2. live_table: array to store active ip addresses if connection is closed the ip address gets removed from live_table.
3. vote_count: Array to keep track of vote.
4. voted_table: Array to keep track of IP addresses that have voted.
5. voting_end_time: 5 mins after the server starts (can be changed from line 49)
Assuming Client is connected, first checks if the client's IP is in live_table (if there exist more than one connection from same IP). If extra connection exists them the latest connected client disconnects.
Authentication 1> Enter Ashoka Email address: NOTE: vALID EMAIL ENDING WITH "@ASHOKA.EDU.IN" NEEDS TO BE SUPPLIED ELSE EMAIL ERROR. Email Validation is done using regex in client side.
- If ashoka_email not in user_info (signup) then generate random password and send to client.
- If ashoka_email is present in user_info (login) then enter password to login.
* If password matches with the saved password during signup then step 2
else client is shown error msg and given 3 extra attempts to login. If client fails to give correct password in the three attempts the clent disconnects.
Voting/ See result 2> Shows the welcome msg with 1/2/3 options.
Option 1
- Given voting is live and client IP not in voted_table(client has not voted), allows the client to vote. Else disconnects with voting ended msg or client has already voted msg.
Note: The client has to give password to vote. If password does not match the session ends else vote gets recored.
Option 2
- If voting is still live, connection closes. else client can give the password and see voting result given password matches.
Option 3
- Session Ends.
