• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake [-DDEBUG=true] [-DSECURE=true] ..
• make -j

• cd build
• ./server/server [port] "run with root priviledges if port is 80"
• ./client/client [config_file]
• *** run as many clients as you want, use the same config_file ***

• IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
• Port: 80

Once two different clients have successfully logged in, they can start communicating securely. Each of them must perform the following commands first:

• .pk - obtain an RSA key pair and store it in memory (key pair is generated if not exists).
• .pe id - send public key to another peer with id specified.

Then some of peers could ask for secure communication with another peer typing the command:

• .pr id - ask for secure communication to peer with id

Another peer could accept or reject an incoming request:

• .pc id - accept request from peer with id and start secure communication.
• .pd id - reject request from peer with id. Communicate without encryption.

Any peer could abort secure communication at any time:

• .px id - abort (or reject, if not previously accepted) secure communication.

Secure communication aborts automatically, when any of peers logs out or gets dropped from chat.
