Secure Chat Application

Overview

This project implements a secure chat application in Python, ensuring encrypted communication between clients and a server using RSA for key generation, Diffie-Hellman for key exchange and AES for message encryption.

Features

RSA(Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) for key generation.
Diffie-Hellman key exchange to derive a shared key.
AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) for message encryption
Multi-threaded server for handling concurrent client connections
JSON-formatted logging for tracking events

Technologies Used

Python
cryptography library
socket module
threading module
json module
logging module

Setup

Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/ishika-srivastava/Secure-Chat-Application.git
$ cd Secure-Chat-Application

Install dependencies:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the server:

$ python server.py

Run a client:

$ python client.py

Usage

Start the server and connect clients.
Exchange messages securely using the implemented protocols.
Commands and features are provided in the client interface.

Logging

The application logs events such as client connections, messages received, and errors encountered in JSON format. Logs are stored in server.log.

Notes

Ensure Python 3.12.0 and the required libraries are installed.
Customize encryption settings or network configurations as needed.
