enhanced security, and seamless cross-platform integration. Early chat systems were
primarily text-based and lacked features like end-to-end encryption, message
synchronization across multiple devices, and interactive elements such as reactions
and voice notes. Modern chat applications incorporate cloud-based storage, AI-
powered chatbots, and multimedia sharing capabilities, yet many still face challenges
related to data privacy, scalability, and real-time performance. Thus, our project
aims to develop a modern chat application that enhances user experience with real-
time messaging, secure communication, and interactive features, making
communication more efficient and seamless.

4.2.2 Proposed System:

4.4.3 Data Flow Diagram (DFD)

The Data Flow Diagram (DFD) represents how data moves through the one-on-one
chat application. When a user sends a message or an image, the request is
processed by the server, which then stores it in the MongoDB database and delivers
it to the recipient in real time. The system ensures that messages and media files are
efficiently transmitted using API calls and WebSockets for instant delivery.

The process begins when a user sends a message or an image, which is sent to the
