This Java Project is a robust and secure chatting application developed using Java, leveraging the power of sockets and client-server architecture.

1. Socket Communication: Utilizing Java's socket functions, Chatify enables real-time messaging between clients and the server, ensuring efficient and reliable data transmission.

2. Byte Stream: Messages are transmitted as byte streams, optimizing data transfer and minimizing latency for a smooth chatting experience.

3. Multicasting: With support for multicasting, Chatify allows users to participate in group chats, facilitating communication among multiple users simultaneously.

4. Database Integration (JDBC): Integration with JDBC enables seamless storage and retrieval of chat history, ensuring that users can access their conversations across sessions.

5. Secure Messaging (Cipher text): Chatify prioritizes security by encrypting messages using advanced cipher techniques, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected during transmission.

6. Timestamps (Date): Each message is timestamped, providing users with a clear timeline of conversations and enhancing the overall user experience.

The aim of this project is to express how we can implement a simple chat application between a server and a client. The application is a desktop-basedapplication and is implemented using Swing and awt. The project is developed in Java SE language executed on a single stand-alone java across a network using loop back address concept.

Application consists of two programs: •Server(Person 2) •Client(Person 1) •Encryp-Decryp

Server(Person 2): The server module of the application waits for the client to connect to it. Then if connection is granted a client interacts communicates and connects to the server, it can mutually communicate with the server. The duty of the server is to let clients exchange the messages.

Client(Person 1): The client module is the one that utilizer sends requests to the server. Utilizer utilizes the client as the means to connect to the server. Once he establishes the connection, he can communicate to the connected server.

Encryp-Decryp: The Encryp-Decryp module is used to encrypt the data messages from one end to another using Base64 java package.
