This repository contains a secure file transfer system implemented in Python, providing a reliable and encrypted method for uploading, downloading, and displaying files between a client and server. The system incorporates Fernet symmetric encryption for secure data transmission and uses Merkle trees for integrity verification.
-
Secure Communication:
- Utilizes sockets for reliable communication between the client and server.
- Implements Fernet symmetric encryption to secure file data during transmission.
-
Merkle Tree Integrity Verification:
- Breaks files into chunks and constructs a Merkle tree to verify data integrity.
- Ensures files are transferred without corruption or loss.
-
User-Friendly Interface with Streamlit:
- A Streamlit web application provides an intuitive interface for users.
- Supports file upload, download, and file listing functionalities.
-
Logging and Error Handling:
- Implements logging for better traceability and debugging.
- Error handling to manage unexpected scenarios.
-
client.py: Client-side implementation, including functions for file upload, download, and displaying available files.
-
server.py: Server-side implementation, managing client connections, handling file transfers, and implementing Merkle tree verification.
-
logs.csv: Log file storing important events, timestamps, and the status of file transfers.
-
requirements.txt: Lists necessary dependencies for running the system.
-
