Secure Chat Application using Angular
To build a real-time chat application using Angular with a strong focus on security, ensuring that users can send and receive messages in a private and encrypted environment. This type of system is ideal for team collaboration, private messaging, or internal corporate communication.
????️ Technologies Used:
- Frontend Framework: Angular (TypeScript)
- Backend: Node.js with Express (or any preferred backend)
- Database: MongoDB / Firebase Realtime Database
- Communication Protocol: WebSockets (via Socket.IO)
- Security: End-to-End Encryption (E2EE), JWT for authentication, HTTPS
???? Key Features:
1.User Authentication:
Signup/Login using secure JWT tokens
Role-based access (optional)
2.Real-Time Messaging:
Send and receive messages instantly using WebSockets
Group and private chat support
3.End-to-End Encryption (E2EE):
Messages are encrypted before sending and decrypted after receiving
Prevents third-party access to message content
4.User Interface:
Clean, responsive chat UI with Angular components
Chat history, timestamps, read receipts
5.Secure Communication:
HTTPS for all data transmission
Encrypted database storage (optional for extra security)
6.Notifications:
In-app or browser push notifications for new messages
???? How It Works:
- Users sign in using secure credentials.
- A real-time WebSocket connection is established.
- Messages are encrypted and sent via WebSocket.
- The receiver decrypts the message on their end.
- Chat history may be stored in an encrypted database.
???? Modules Overview:
- Auth Module – Handles secure login/registration using JWT
- Chat Module – Displays conversation UI and message exchange
- Encryption Service – Applies AES/RSA or custom encryption algorithms
- WebSocket Service – Manages real-time communication using Socket.IO
✅ Benefits:
- ???? Secure Communication: End-to-end encryption ensures privacy
- ⚡ Real-Time Messaging: Fast and responsive chat experience
- ???? Modular Design: Easily scalable and maintainable with Angular
- ???? Great Learning Project: Covers security, real-time sockets, frontend-backend integration
