Components

• app/main.py: The main entry point of the application.
• app/models/schema.py: Defines the data schema used by the application.
• app/services/crypto_service.py: Provides cryptographic functions.
• app/services/storage_service.py: Manages data storage operations.

Certificates

• Create a certificates directory using

    mkdir certs

• certs/: Contains SSL/TLS certificates required for secure connections.

Data

• data/messages: Directory used for storing messages data.

Script

• run_secure.py: Script to initiate the backend application.

Setup

1. Generate SSL Certificates: To generate SSL certificates, run the following command:

   openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -keyout certs/server.key -out certs/server.crt -days 365
   

2. Installation: Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed. You may need Python and pip for package installation.

3. Running the Backend: To start the backend service, use the following command:

   python run_secure.py
   

Usage

This backend component works as part of a larger system in the Secure Sim project. It handles requests routed to it via the main application interface.
