CMD CHAT

A console chat with encrypted messaging.

How it works

1. The client generates a private key.
2. The server generates a symmetric key.
3. The client sends its public key to the server.
4. The server encrypts the symmetric key and sends it back to the client.
5. The client encrypts the private key.
6. From then on, communication with the server happens via the symmetric key.

Installation & Run

Option 1: Python

pip install secured_console_chat

import asyncio 
import cmd_chat

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(cmd_chat.run())

Option 2: CLI
