# Installation Instructions
#### Virtual Environment
Setting up virtual environment
```
virtualenv --python=python3.9 flaskgit add
source flask/bin/activate
```
#### Running Client App
Setting up virtual environment
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Change Host IP in client app/app.py to server IP
host = "http://Server IP:80"
Run Client Flask App
First cd to client folder
```
python3 app.py
```
#### Running Server App
```
flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8080
```
#### Problem
Servers can recognize clients and their data stored on server’s storage.
This leads to security concerns where the server providers can maliciously retrieve or sell the data.
#### Solution
Encrypt the client message and generate ID for the message on the client side before sending to server.
Server has no clue of the actual client’s identity/message stored on the database.
Other clients can request the data using the message ID from the server.
