The online chatting offers the users to experience real-time conversation with the people who are located geographically in a different location that is it offers real-time transmission of messages from one person to other. Chat messages are usually short so that the other participant responds to them quickly. Thereby, it makes the users of the online chatting app, feel the chat like a real-time conversation. The online chat application allows the user to address the single message to an individual receiver or multiple receivers that is by using the point to point communication and multicast communication techniques. All these parameters must be considered while designing a chat application along with these parameters the other important parameter that should be considered is the security. There is a growing need for providing security for the mobile chat applications, with a large user number it is very important for a chap application to provide all security for the data they store and transmit for better resistance to cyber-attacks. So to provide the security all the messages that are being transmitted and the data stored in the database must be encrypted. For the storage of the user’s details and their data, the AWS (Amazon Web service) is used. AWS is a cloud platform that provides several IT infrastructure like database, SQL, virtualization and many more. It allows storing data from the online application and maintains all the user’s detail which helps in for the registration and login of the user to the online chat application.
