# End to End Encryption Decryption Chat Application

A Demo app to showcase secure messaging using ReactJS that leverages end-to-end encryption using both asymmetric and symmetric key encryption provided by TweetNaCl.js. This project aims to provide a secure way of communicating where only the communicating users can read the messages.

### Features

End-to-End Encryption: All messages are encrypted on the client side using a combination of asymmetric and symmetric encryption.

ReactJS Frontend: Modern and responsive UI built with React.

Secure Key Handling: Public and private keys are generated using the NaCl library's cryptographic functions.

Technologies

ReactJS

TweetNaCl.js for encryption

nacl-util for utility functions like encoding and decoding

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

### Prerequisites

You will need Node.js and npm installed on your computer to run this project.

### Install Node.js and npm

https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Installing

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/mike1011/end-to-end-encryption-decryption.git

cd end-to-end-encryption-decryption

Install the necessary packages:

npm install

Running the application

To start the application, run:

npm run start

This will start the React development server and open the application in your default web browser.

###  Usage

Generate Keys: Upon first use, the user will need to generate a set of public and private keys. This can be done through the UI.

Send Encrypted Message: To send a message, input the recipient's public key and your private key. The app will encrypt the message asymmetrically.

Decrypt Message: When receiving a message, use your private key and the sender's public key to decrypt the message symmetrically.

Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a pull request or open issues to improve the application or suggest new features.
