ChatOTP is a chat protocol designed for anonymity and security through one-time pads. Each client generates a unique one-time key for encryption per session.

Note: This project was created as a part of term project for Cryptography and is not recommended for production purposes as of now.

(Note: Make sure you are running the server before running the web-client)
This repository contains source code for ChatOTP Web-Client. The web-client uses SignalR for robust and faster connection between multiple clients and servers.

On connection, the web-client asks the user for username and encryption algorithm (Xor by default). Only after username is given, the SignalR connection is done over client and server.

This is a beta screenshot during testing of chat application over multiple clients and file transfer

1. Xor Cipher
2. Rc4 Cipher Note: Rc4 cipher generates a keystream which can be used for encryption by combining it with plaintext using bitwise Xor.

1. You can directly run the client using docker compose up or use VSCode Dev Containers to run the client.
2. In case of development environment, you must use vite run dev to run vite dev server.
