The Secure File Transfer System is designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of files being transferred over a network. Leveraging robust cryptographic techniques and secure coding practices, this project demonstrates proficiency in cryptography and network programming.
- End-to-End Encryption: Secure file contents during transfer.
- Encryption Algorithms: Utilize robust algorithms such as AES for symmetric encryption and RSA for asymmetric encryption.
- Authorized Access: Ensure that only authorized users can send and receive files.
- Authentication Mechanisms: Implement public-key infrastructure (PKI) or token-based authentication.
- File Integrity: Ensure files are not altered during transfer.
- Hashing Algorithms: Use algorithms like SHA-256 to create and verify file hashes.
- Secure Protocols: Utilize protocols such as TLS to protect data in transit.
- Encrypted Communication: Ensure the communication channel is encrypted and authenticated.
