# Secure File Transfer System with Merkle Tree
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.
## Features
- **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.
## Repository Structure
- **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.
## How to Use
1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/amri-tah/Secure-File-Transfer.git
```
2. Install the required dependencies.
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
3. Run the server script on the server.
```bash
python server.py
```
4. Open the Streamlit web application on the client side.
```bash
python client.py
```
Interact with the system through the web interface to securely upload, download, and display files.
