remote-document-access's Introduction

Remote Document Access

82014 - João Meira
82069 - José Brás

Objective

The objective of this project is to allow a client to securely store and access files on a server, as well as securely share files with other clients.

User Private Key

The user must always keep his private key with him, securely stored, so that he can access his files anytime he wants. The user has complete control of their data and its privacy.

Implementation

Files are stored encrypted and are only decrypted locally. Digital signatures are used to verify file's authenticity. The SSL Mutual Authentication spec is implemented to mitigate man-in-the-middle attacks.

Application Set-Up

Please refer to the server-side and client-side README files.

remote-document-access's Issues

Python/Shell-script and OpenSSL dependencies

Shell-script should be dropped completely so python is the only technology that the program depends on, or else clients will only be able to run this on Linux.
Also, OpenSSL or a similar project should be fully integrated in this project code tree to remove that dependency from the system.

Generated certificates expiration date

By default, openssl generates certificates which expire 1 month after they're created. This means users can use the service for 1 month and then they lose access to their files forever...

Completely drop useless temporary files usage

As the title says, temporary files usage should be minimized in some parts of the code where it's clearly better to do it from memory. Temporary files are only good for one thing, hurrying the HELL up with the code! :)
