jv813yh / secure_chat_room_tcp_salt

Example of a chat room between multiple clients using a server. Secure communication is provided by the Salt channel protocol.

secure_chat_room_TCP_Salt

The program can be compiled using a makefile and they are added .bat files for easy launch for Windows of server and client applications. The server listens on port 8080 (macro PORT).The client enters this information when calling the application(client IP Port).

The client can exchange secure data with other connected ones clients. The server provides a chat room service where each client connects to the server can send and receive data from other connected users. It's used console window for communication between clients and server. Data is being entered from the command line interface (CLI), which means that the application demonstrates working with smaller ones data.

The applications use the external TweetNaCl library to perform cryptography operations used by the Salt channelv2 protocol to secure transmissions data and user protection. The program demonstrates the use of cryptography Salt channelv2 protocol to establish a secure connection between multiple clients and servers. I use the TCP protocol as the communication channel.

Runable on Windows and Linux with makefile.
