Information Security has always been a major discipline in the field of Computer Science. Many software has been developed around the world for fulfilling various tasks. However, it is important to ensure the security of the data involved in using that particular software. In the recent times, the issue of security related to chat systems has been trending. There have been instances where an unauthorized user has viewed the messages of a particular user. That is where this project presents a pragmatic solution. This project implements a chat system which authorizes a user into the application using facial authentication. The user messages are encoded using cryptographic algorithms. In case of sending a secret message, only the user, whose face matches with that at the time of sign-up can view the message. This feature is implemented using Machine Learning algorithms.
