System Architecture

  • Three-tier architecture: presentation layer (HTML/CSS/JS), application layer (PHP), data layer (SQL).
  • Client-side encryption before upload and server-side decryption after download.
  • Database stores encrypted files with metadata like owner, access permissions.
  • Session management using PHP with secure cookie handling and timeout features.
