# Encochat
## beta phase, bugs may appear. The program is finished and ready to use.
## Read first
This is a beta. I am working on a full version, website, host and executable. You can help improving this code, but this isn't the final code. The name will be changed too, because of encrochat.
## About
High Secured Terminal Chat App
This is a terminal-based chat app that uses advanced encryption and security protocols to ensure that all communications are kept private and secure. To guarantee this, we encrypt every activity you do:
* creating a room
* setting a password
* sending a message
* leaving a room
* joining a room
* creating a private key
## Paid Version
You want an exclusive, more secure app? Faster, better and more secure than ever? [Contact me](mailto:rootcode@duck.com) and get exclusive access.
## Features
* Millitary encryption used for chat messages
* 1995-bit key exchange for secure communication between users in a group
* Automatic secure deletion of all messages after a person left the group
* Not a single piece in information is send to us: Account information (username/password/creation/activity), messages, groups, contacts and more. All your information is safe
* End-To-End encryption
## Installation and Setup
Make sure you have [Python 3.6](https://python.org/downloads) or later installed on your system.
Clone the repository or [download the zip file](https://github.com/ProtDos/encochat/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) and extract it.
Install the required dependencies using the following command: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
Run the app using the following command: `python chat.py`
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ProtDos/encochat
cd encochat
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 chat.py # For Windows users: "py chat.py"
```
## Usage
To start the app, run the command `python3 chat.py` from the app directory.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your user account and generate your groups to get in touch with friends.
To start a new chat session, enter number `1` in the main screen and choose a name for the group. This will generate the key to chat with friends.
To send a message, simply type your message and press enter. The message will be encrypted and sent securely to the other users in the group.
To view a list of available commands, check out the `Advanced Usage` tab.

## Mobile app
I am currently working on a mobile app to download. It would only be .apk (android users). I am not quite experienced in mobile app development, so don't excpect it to happen in near future. If you are a app developer, don't mind contacting me and collaborate.

The username you used is shown in our server, but not at what time you connected or whom you wrote. We do not take any responsability for any activity made with this project. We cannot guarantee 100% security, when you find any vulnerabilities, please tell them us as soon as possible.
## TODO:
* implement update function (if server is shut down, automatically check for new update and reinstall itself)
* different colors for every user (for better understanding)
* split code in different files (for better code understanding, not neccessary)
* change variable names (for better code understanding)
* create error logs (for testing purposes) (can be turned on in settings -> store in json format
* make the key smaller (to make it easier to use)
* faster message sending
Don't mind creating a pull request if you have done anything like this and want to collab.
