This project demonstrates how to implement end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in a React chat application using Stream's Chat API.

End-to-end encryption ensures that only the communicating users can read the messages and no intermediary, including Stream, can access the unencrypted content. This sample implementation shows:

• Setting up a secure React chat client
• Implementing client-side encryption/decryption
• Managing encryption keys
• Sending and receiving encrypted messages
• Maintaining Stream's real-time capabilities with encrypted content

1. Clone this repository
2. Navigate to this directory
3. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   
   or

   yarn
   
4. Update the project with your Stream API credentials
5. Start the development server:

   npm start
   
   or

   yarn start

When implementing E2EE in production applications:

• Ensure proper key management practices
• Implement secure key exchange protocols
• Consider additional security measures like message expiration
• Test thoroughly for potential security vulnerabilities
