Project [10 Points]: By python3

Chatbot applications are used to provide clients with multiple online services such as answering questions, diagnosing symptoms, gaining information about organization policies, etc. This homework proposes a text transfer protocol to manage the chatbot communications between the client and the server devices.

You have to write Python3 code to implement the Text Transfer Protocol (TTP) which is designed to serve a Chatbot application that identifies the context of clients sentences and try to obtain Google results for search context. It also adds username and password into permissions file stored in the server.

TTP has three phases: setup phase, operation phase, and closing phase.

1-Setup-Phase:

Once the client opens the application, the application sends a series of packets to the server device in the following order:

  • Start-Packet (from client to server): contains the packet type, protocol name, protocol version, secured-communication example:
    • (SS,TTP,v1.0,0), where S->start is the packet type, ttp is the protocol name, v1.0 is the version, 0 means no secured communication is required, in this case no encryption=packet is required to be received into the server.
    • (SS,TTP,v1.0,1), where S->start is the packet type, ttp is the protocol name, v1.0 is the version, 1 means secured communication is required, in this case the server expects to receive an encryption-packet immediately after the start-packet.

  • Encryption-Packet (from client to server): contains information about encryption algorithm, and credentials used to secure communication. This packet is sent incase the Start-Packet contains 1 in the secure-communication field. This packet type contains the following fields (packet-type, Algorithm, credentials): (EC, Authentication, username:password).

The following table shows the options of the algorithms and credentials sent with each:

Algorithm

Credentials

DES

Client Public key

Authentication

username:password

  • For simplicity, plain user name and password are sent without hashing.
  • For DES, the server uses the client public key in order to encrypt a session key and send it back to the client. The client decrypts the sent session key using his own private key then use the session key to encrypt messages.

  • Confirm-Connection-Packet (from server to client): this packet is sent with one field which is the packet-type (CC) from the server to inform the client to start sending information packets.

  • Session-Key-Packet (from session to client): this packet is sent from the server to the client and contains an encrypted session key using client public key to be used in secured messages. This packet contains the following fields: (packet-type, sessionkey) where the packet type is SK. This packet is only sent as a response for E, DES packet.

  1. Operation-Phase:

This phase is started once the client starts typing messages and send them to the server, all packets of this phase are Information-Packets and contain two fields: packet-Type (IN), and the message. In case of encryption-communication, the client is responsible to encrypt the messages before sending them to the server and decrypt the messages received by the server.

  • Example of requests and responses are shown in the following table:

Request

Response

Any sentence contains hello, good morning, good evening

Greetings (packet-type: GR)

Any sentence contains what

Information Response (packet-type: IR)

Any sentence contains where

Location Response (packet-type: LR)

Any sentence contains when

Time Response (packet-type: TR)

Any sentence contains search

Google results: . (packet-type: RR)

Any sentence contains permission

Granting permission using auth.

Credentials (packet-type: PR)

  1. Closing-Phase:

The client types (End) in the chatbot to confirm closing phase. In this phase a Close-Packet is sent to the server to confirm that the client has finished from using the application. And the server will expect no more messages from the client.

  1. Exception-Packets: Your client should check each response from the server if the server sends an Exception Event (EE) packet-type message this means that there is an error occurred while processing clients requests. Each EE packet contains the following fields: (EE, Error Code, Description). Error Code values are left to your implementation, you can suggest set of error codes (maximum 4 error codes).
