Inspiration

Wanted to get more insight into cybersecurity and ways to protect your sensitive data.

What it does

Saves user data into a php file, lets you login using user data, and type into a chatbox to encrypt your chat and output it back!

How we built it

JS CSS HTML Python PHP JSON XAMPP for php local server hosting

And some photoshop for assets

Challenges we ran into

Struggled with a lot of backend development, struggled to incorporate the AES algorithm.

• our biggest problem with AES encryption was decrypting the encrypted file we put in the JSON file for user credentials

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Created functional interactive GUI and a working chatbox, additionally was able to load the google extension.

What we learned

Cybersecurity encryption requires keys for encryption and decryption of text to a cipher and back to text.

What's next for CryptChat

We'll hopefully get a server running and users are able to interact with each other securely with all data being securely encrypted. We'll hopefully be able to successfully implement a stronger encryption algorithm to encrypt credentials and messages.
