The Challenge
This internal project aimed to create a secure communication system for sensitive messages that needed to be distributed to employees. The system required end-to-end encryption, secure authentication, and detailed access logs for compliance purposes. It also needed to integrate with the company's existing SSO solution.
Project Goals
- Implement end-to-end encryption for all messages
- Create integration with corporate SSO system
- Design detailed audit logging for compliance
- Build message scheduling with timed expiration
- Ensure high availability and fault tolerance

The Solution
We developed a secure messaging application using Spring Boot and Angular with a focus on encryption and authentication. Messages are encrypted client-side before being stored in the database, ensuring that even database administrators cannot read the content. The application integrates with the company's Okta SSO system and implements role-based access control for different message categories.
Security Design
Created comprehensive security architecture with encryption protocols and authentication flows.
Backend Development
Built a Spring Boot application with RESTful APIs and database encryption layers.
Authentication Integration
Implemented OAuth integration with Okta for secure single sign-on authentication.
Frontend Implementation
Developed an Angular frontend with client-side encryption and real-time updates.
Technical Details
The application uses AES-256 encryption for message content, with encryption keys derived from user credentials using PBKDF2. All API endpoints are secured with OAuth2, and the system integrates with Okta for SSO authentication. We implemented comprehensive audit logging that records all user actions while preserving message confidentiality. For high availability, the application is deployed in a containerized environment with automatic failover.
