Add File Sharing #18

Open Sukhendu2002 opened 12 months ago

Sukhendu2002 commented 12 months ago

Allow users to send files, such as images, documents, or videos, through the messenger. Implement secure file uploading and downloading mechanisms.

PradyumnaKrishna commented 12 months ago

This looks good to add, do you have any idea how will you achieve this?

Sukhendu2002 commented 12 months ago

Hey, @PradyumnaKrishna here is the general outline for this

Encrypt file data using the recipient's public key
Include the encrypted file data and file name in the message payload
send the message (including the text message and encrypted file data) through the socket connection.
Decrypt the received encrypted file data using the recipient's private key.

I want to work on this under gssoc23

You explained it very well but there are some small points I would like to add. I guess we have to encode file into base64 before encrypting. Also there is problem on encrypting long texts #20. Maybe you want to work on that before working on this. What do you think?

Sukhendu2002 commented 12 months ago

Yea sure

Sukhendu2002 commented 11 months ago

PradyumnaKrishna commented 11 months ago

Yes @Sukhendu2002, go ahead.
