The Encrypted File Sharing Service is a peer-to-peer file sharing application that prioritizes secure data transfer. It allows users to share files with end-to-end encryption, ensuring that shared data is accessible only to intended recipients.
- Password Protection: Users can set passwords for their files, adding an extra layer of security.
- Encryption: Utilizes bcrypt for robust encryption, safeguarding file contents during transfer.
- User-Friendly Interface: Designed for ease of use, ensuring a smooth file-sharing experience.
- Uploading a File: Choose a file to share, set a password for encryption, and upload it to the service.
- Sharing: Once uploaded, a unique link is generated which can be shared with the recipient.
- Downloading: The recipient uses the link to download the file. The correct password must be entered to access and decrypt the file.
- EJS: A templating language used to generate HTML with plain JavaScript. It's utilized for creating dynamic views in the application.
- Express: A fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js, used for handling server-side logic and routing.
- Mongoose: A MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. It's used for database operations.
- Multer: A Node.js middleware for handling
multipart/form-data, primarily used for uploading files. - Bcrypt: A library to help hash passwords, providing a secure way to store and compare user passwords.
- Dotenv: A zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a
.envfile intoprocess.env, making it easier to manage sensitive configuration options.
