+## Requirements
+
+To successfully use and compile the Secure File Transfer System, you will need the following software and libraries installed:
+
+### For the Python Server:
+
+- **Python**: Ensure you have Python 3.9 or a compatible version installed on your system.
+
+- **Crypto.Cipher**: You will need the Crypto.Cipher library for encryption. You can install it using pip with the following command: ```pip install pycryptodome```.
+
+
+### For the C++ Client:
+
+- **C++11**: The server is written in C++11, so you'll need a C++11 compatible compiler. Make sure you have a suitable compiler installed.
+
+- **Crypto++ (Version 8.7.0)**: Crypto++ is used for cryptographic operations. You can download and install Crypto++ from the official website: [Crypto++ Library (Version 8.7.0)](https://www.cryptopp.com/release870.html).
+
+- **Boost C++ Libraries (Version 1.81.0)**: Boost provides a wide range of useful C++ libraries. In this project it is used for the network handling. You can download and install Boost from the official website: [Boost C++ Libraries (Version 1.81.0)](https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_81_0.html).
+
+
+## Getting Started
+
+To use the project, follow these steps:
+
+1. Compile the client program using C++.
+
+2. Ensure that the `info.transfer` file is properly configured with the server's IP address, port number, client name, and file path.
+
+3. The Python server should also be running and configured to communicate with clients.
+
+4. Run the client program to register with the server (if not registered) or perform other file transfer operations.

 | Buffer/Integer Overflow | Buffer and integer overflow issues in C++ code. | Strict bounds checking and data validation logic were introduced in the C++ code segments. Secure libraries and best practices for buffer management and integer handling were followed to eliminate overflow vulnerabilities of vulnerable methods. For exxample, using ```string``` instead of ```char*```. |
 | Impersonation | Man-in-the-Middle attacks. | Even though this project is implementing a semi-TLS protocol. the UUID is initially available to an attacker that may listen to the client. As part of this project, a solution was not provided as the specifications of the project didn't stipulate it, but in a real scenario, an encryption of the UUID would be performed as well. |
