However, please note that this is not meant to be a secure implementation or a suitable foundation for a production chat application. It lacks proper user authentication and user management. User emails and passwords are hard-coded for demonstration purposes only.\n\n## ⚒️ Installation and Setup\n\n1. Make sure you have Python installed. You can download it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).\n\n3. Clone this repository:\n\n   ```\n   git clone https://github.com/NotSooShariff/RSA-Encryption.git\n   ```\n   \n2. Install the required Python packages using pip:\n\n   ```\n   pip install -r requirements.txt\n   ```\n\n4. Change to the project directory:\n\n   ```\n   cd RSA-Encryption\n   ```\n\n## ▶️ Running the Application\n\nYou can run the application by executing the following command in your terminal:\n\n```\npython app.py\n```\n\n\n## 📦 Usage\n\n- Access the application in your web browser at `http://localhost:5000`.\n- The application allows you to create chat rooms and join existing ones.\n- You can send messages within chat rooms, and they will be encrypted using a combination of Caesar Cipher and RSA encryption.\n- When sending a message, the system uses your hard-coded user email and password to identify you.\n\n## 📄 Code Structure\n\n- `app.py`: The main Flask application that defines routes and handles WebSocket communication.\n- `templates/`: Contains HTML templates for the web pages.\n- `myenv/`: Contains the python virtual environment\n- `requirements.txt`: Contains all the packages and versions needed to run this tool\n\n## 📌 Important Note\n\nThis application is only for educational purposes and should not be used in a real-world scenario. It lacks essential security features and user authentication mechanisms, making it unsuitable for a secure chat application. The user credentials are hard-coded, and encryption is rudimentary. Do not use this code as a basis for any production system.\n\nFeel free to explore and experiment with RSA encryption, but be aware of its limitations and the need for comprehensive security measures in real-world applications.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnotsooshariff%2Frsa-encryption","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnotsooshariff%2Frsa-encryption","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnotsooshariff%2Frsa-encryption/lists"}
