# Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Simple End-to-End Chat in NodeJS
Just a simple example of how `Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange` can be implemented in End-to-End Chat.
## Installation
```bash
npm i
```
## Usage
Make sure you have **free** `:3000` in order to run `express` server. Otherwise, change the `port` constant inside the `express.js`.
```bash
node express.js
```
## Routes
I've set up chat with `GET` routes, just to make things simple and to emphasize publicity of distribution channels.
There are two participants called `alice` and `bob`. You can find them in `express.js` file.
So you can navigate to one of these URLs using the showcase with `axios` in `express.js`
or using your browser:
* `/send/message/:from/:to/:message` - sends a message. `:from` is the name `alice` or `bob`
(or yours, if you set it up), `:to` is the name of **another** chat participant and the
`message` is the message
* `/send-public-key/:from/:to` - sends a public `Diffie-Hellman` key from `:from` (e.g. `alice`)
to `:to` (e.g. `bob`). This public key is then used to generate the common secret key, using
a private key
* `/inbox/:whose` - show an inbox of `:whose` (e.g. `alice`)
## Logging
Also I am logging all things to the terminal, so you are able to not use your browser.
