To use the Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) for API encryption and decryption, you can follow the
approach in your provided example. Here's a high-level plan to integrate it into your API:

1. Setup the KEM Infrastructure:

Client (API User):

Generates a key pair using KEM.
Shares the public key with the API server.
Server (API Provider):
Encapsulates a secret using the client’s public key.
Sends the ciphertext to the client.
Client:
Decapsulates the ciphertext to retrieve the shared secret.
Both the client and server now have a shared secret that can be used for further symmetric
encryption/decryption of the API payloads.

2. Encryption and Decryption Workflow:

Client-side:
After obtaining the shared secret, use a symmetric encryption algorithm (e.g., AES) to
encrypt the API request payload.
Server-side:
The server decapsulates the ciphertext, retrieves the shared secret, and decrypts the API
request payload.

3. Implementation:

Here’s an implementation sketch that incorporates your existing KEM setup:

 python

import oqs
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers import Cipher, algorithms, modes
import os

def encrypt_message(shared_secret, plaintext):

# Use a symmetric encryption algorithm, such as AES, to encrypt the plaintext
iv = os.urandom(12) # Generate a random IV
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv))
encryptor = cipher.encryptor()
ciphertext = encryptor.update(plaintext) + encryptor.finalize()
return iv + encryptor.tag + ciphertext

def decrypt_message(shared_secret, ciphertext):

# Decrypt the ciphertext using the shared secret
iv, tag, ciphertext = ciphertext[:12], ciphertext[12:28], ciphertext[28:]
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv, tag))
decryptor = cipher.decryptor()
plaintext = decryptor.update(ciphertext) + decryptor.finalize()
return plaintext

# Key encapsulation setup

kemalg = "Kyber512"
with oqs.KeyEncapsulation(kemalg) as client:
with oqs.KeyEncapsulation(kemalg) as server:
public_key_client = client.generate_keypair()
ciphertext, shared_secret_server = server.encap_secret(public_key_client)
shared_secret_client = client.decap_secret(ciphertext)

# Encrypt a message using the shared secret

message = b"This is a secure API request"
encrypted_message = encrypt_message(shared_secret_client, message)

# The server would receive this encrypted_message and decrypt it

decrypted_message = decrypt_message(shared_secret_server, encrypted_message)
print(f"Decrypted message: {decrypted_message.decode()}")

4. Integrate into Your API:

API Request:
Before sending an API request, the client encrypts the payload using the shared secret.
API Response:
The server decrypts the request, processes it, encrypts the response, and sends it back.
Decryption on the Client:
The client decrypts the response using the shared secret.

5. Additional Security Considerations:

Key Management: Ensure secure exchange and storage of public keys.

Session Management: Consider implementing session resumption to avoid re-encapsulation for
each request.
TLS: Use TLS in conjunction with KEM for an additional layer of security.

This setup should help you secure API communications using KEM for key exchange and symmetric
encryption for payload protection.

 To integrate the Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) with an API, you can create a Flask-based API
where the client and server use KEM for key exchange and symmetric encryption for securing the
data. Below is an example of how you can set this up:

1. Install Dependencies:

Ensure you have the required libraries installed:

bash

pip install oqs flask cryptography

2. Create the Flask API:

python

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

import oqs
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers import Cipher, algorithms, modes
import os

app = Flask(__name__)

# In-memory storage for keys and shared secrets (for demonstration purposes)
clients_public_keys = {}
clients_shared_secrets = {}

def encrypt_message(shared_secret, plaintext):

iv = os.urandom(12)
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv))
encryptor = cipher.encryptor()
ciphertext = encryptor.update(plaintext) + encryptor.finalize()
return iv + encryptor.tag + ciphertext

def decrypt_message(shared_secret, ciphertext):

iv, tag, ciphertext = ciphertext[:12], ciphertext[12:28], ciphertext[28:]
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv, tag))
decryptor = cipher.decryptor()
plaintext = decryptor.update(ciphertext) + decryptor.finalize()
return plaintext

@app.route('/exchange_keys', methods=['POST'])
def exchange_keys():
client_id = request.json['client_id']
client_public_key = bytes.fromhex(request.json['public_key'])

# Server generates its KEM keypair

kemalg = "Kyber512"
with oqs.KeyEncapsulation(kemalg) as server:
# Server encapsulates a shared secret using client's public key
ciphertext, shared_secret_server = server.encap_secret(client_public_key)

# Store the shared secret for the client

clients_shared_secrets[client_id] = shared_secret_server

return jsonify({
'ciphertext': ciphertext.hex()
})

@app.route('/secure_api', methods=['POST'])
def secure_api():
client_id = request.json['client_id']
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 3/26
 ciphertext = bytes.fromhex(request.json['ciphertext'])

# Retrieve the shared secret for the client

shared_secret = clients_shared_secrets.get(client_id)
if not shared_secret:
return jsonify({"error": "Client not found or key exchange not completed"}), 400

# Decrypt the client's message

decrypted_message = decrypt_message(shared_secret, ciphertext)

# Process the request (here we just echo the message)

response_message = f"Server received: {decrypted_message.decode()}"

# Encrypt the response

encrypted_response = encrypt_message(shared_secret, response_message.encode())

return jsonify({
'response_ciphertext': encrypted_response.hex()
})

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)

3. Client Implementation Example:

python

import requests
import oqs
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers import Cipher, algorithms, modes
import os

def encrypt_message(shared_secret, plaintext):

iv = os.urandom(12)
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv))
encryptor = cipher.encryptor()
ciphertext = encryptor.update(plaintext) + encryptor.finalize()
return iv + encryptor.tag + ciphertext

def decrypt_message(shared_secret, ciphertext):

iv, tag, ciphertext = ciphertext[:12], ciphertext[12:28], ciphertext[28:]
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv, tag))
decryptor = cipher.decryptor()
plaintext = decryptor.update(ciphertext) + decryptor.finalize()
return plaintext

# Generate client keypair

kemalg = "Kyber512"
client_id = "client123"
with oqs.KeyEncapsulation(kemalg) as client:
public_key_client = client.generate_keypair()

# Send public key to server and receive encapsulated secret

response = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/exchange_keys', json={
'client_id': client_id,
'public_key': public_key_client.hex()
})
server_ciphertext = bytes.fromhex(response.json()['ciphertext'])

# Decapsulate to retrieve shared secret

shared_secret_client = client.decap_secret(server_ciphertext)

# Encrypt the message to send to the API

message = b"Hello, secure server!"
encrypted_message = encrypt_message(shared_secret_client, message)

# Send the encrypted message to the server

response = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/secure_api', json={
'client_id': client_id,
'ciphertext': encrypted_message.hex()
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 4/26
 })

# Decrypt the server's response

encrypted_response = bytes.fromhex(response.json()['response_ciphertext'])
decrypted_response = decrypt_message(shared_secret_client, encrypted_response)
print(f"Decrypted server response: {decrypted_response.decode()}")

4. How It Works:

Key Exchange:
The client generates a public/private key pair and sends the public key to the server.
The server encapsulates a shared secret using the client's public key and sends the
ciphertext back to the client.
The client decapsulates the ciphertext to obtain the shared secret.
Secure Communication:
Both the client and the server now share a common secret. This secret is used to encrypt
the messages exchanged via the API.

5. Running the API:

Start the Flask API server by running the script.

Run the client script to see the encrypted communication in action.

This setup ensures that the communication between the client and the server is secure using KEM for
key exchange and symmetric encryption for message confidentiality.

To use the KEM-based encryption and decryption with your React-based website, you'll need to
integrate the key exchange and encryption steps into your React application. Here's how you can do
that:

1. Set Up Your React App:

Ensure your React app is set up with the necessary dependencies. If you haven’t done so, you’ll need
to install Axios for making HTTP requests:

bash

npm install axios

2. Implement KEM in the React App:

Since `liboqs` is a Python library, you can't directly use it in React. Instead, you would handle the KEM
process on the server side (as shown in the Flask API example) and manage the encryption/decryption

 in your React app using Web Crypto API or a similar library.
Below is a simplified approach to integrate KEM and symmetric encryption in your React app:

Client-Side Code (React):

javascript

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';

// Sample function for AES encryption/decryption

async function aesEncrypt(secretKey, message) {
const iv = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(12));
const alg = { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: iv };
const key = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
'raw',
secretKey.slice(0, 32),
alg,
false,
['encrypt']
);
const encrypted = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
alg,
key,
new TextEncoder().encode(message)
);
return { iv, encrypted: new Uint8Array(encrypted) };
}

async function aesDecrypt(secretKey, iv, ciphertext) {

const alg = { name: 'AES-GCM', iv: iv };
const key = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
'raw',
secretKey.slice(0, 32),
alg,
false,
['decrypt']
);
const decrypted = await crypto.subtle.decrypt(
alg,
key,
ciphertext
);
return new TextDecoder().decode(decrypted);
}

const App = () => {

const [serverResponse, setServerResponse] = useState('');

const handleSecureRequest = async () => {

try {
const clientId = "client123";

// Step 1: Key exchange with the server

const publicKey = 'Your Client Public Key'; // Obtain from the Python KEM
setup

const keyExchangeResponse = await

axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/exchange_keys', {
client_id: clientId,
public_key: publicKey
});

const serverCiphertext = keyExchangeResponse.data.ciphertext;

const sharedSecret = 'Decapsulated Shared Secret'; // Replace with your KEM
decapsulation process

// Step 2: Encrypt the message

const message = "Hello, secure server!";
const { iv, encrypted } = await aesEncrypt(sharedSecret, message);

 // Step 3: Send the encrypted message to the API
const apiResponse = await axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/secure_api', {
client_id: clientId,
ciphertext: Buffer.from(iv).toString('hex') +
Buffer.from(encrypted).toString('hex')
});

// Step 4: Decrypt the server's response

const encryptedResponse = Buffer.from(apiResponse.data.response_ciphertext,
'hex');
const ivResponse = encryptedResponse.slice(0, 12);
const ciphertextResponse = encryptedResponse.slice(12);
const decryptedMessage = await aesDecrypt(sharedSecret, ivResponse,
ciphertextResponse);

setServerResponse(decryptedMessage);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during secure request:', error);
}
};

return (
<div>
<h1>Secure API Request</h1>
<button onClick={handleSecureRequest}>Send Secure Request</button>
<p>Server Response: {serverResponse}</p>
</div>
);
};

export default App;

3. Explanation:

1. Key Exchange:
The React app sends a request to the server's `/exchange_keys` endpoint, initiating the key
exchange.
The server returns a ciphertext, which would typically be decapsulated by the React app to
derive the shared secret. However, since KEM is handled on the server side, you'll simulate
this step on the client.
2. Message Encryption:
Once you have the shared secret, you use the Web Crypto API to perform AES-GCM
encryption of the message.
3. API Request:
The encrypted message is sent to the server's `/secure_api` endpoint.
4. Server Response Decryption:
The React app receives the encrypted response, decrypts it using the shared secret, and
displays the decrypted message.

4. Running the Application:

Start your Flask API server.

Run your React app.
Use the React interface to send a secure request and view the server’s response.

This setup allows your React-based website to securely communicate with your API using KEM-based
encryption.

To integrate KEM-based encryption and decryption for a React-based website with a Python backend,
follow these steps:

1. Backend (Python Flask API):

We'll set up a Flask API that handles key exchange and secure API requests.

2. Client-Side (React) Request Example:

The client (React) will interact with the Flask API, send the public key, receive the encapsulated
ciphertext, and then use this for secure communication.

Python Flask API Implementation:

python

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

import oqs
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers import Cipher, algorithms, modes
import os

app = Flask(__name__)

# Store clients' shared secrets

clients_shared_secrets = {}

def encrypt_message(shared_secret, plaintext):

iv = os.urandom(12)
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv))
encryptor = cipher.encryptor()
ciphertext = encryptor.update(plaintext) + encryptor.finalize()
return iv + encryptor.tag + ciphertext

def decrypt_message(shared_secret, ciphertext):

iv, tag, ciphertext = ciphertext[:12], ciphertext[12:28], ciphertext[28:]
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv, tag))
decryptor = cipher.decryptor()
plaintext = decryptor.update(ciphertext) + decryptor.finalize()
return plaintext

@app.route('/exchange_keys', methods=['POST'])

with oqs.KeyEncapsulation(kemalg) as server:
ciphertext, shared_secret_server = server.encap_secret(client_public_key)

clients_shared_secrets[client_id] = shared_secret_server

return jsonify({
'ciphertext': ciphertext.hex()
})

@app.route('/secure_api', methods=['POST'])
def secure_api():

 shared_secret = clients_shared_secrets.get(client_id)
if not shared_secret:
return jsonify({"error": "Client not found or key exchange not completed"}), 400

decrypted_message = decrypt_message(shared_secret, ciphertext)

response_message = f"Server received: {decrypted_message.decode()}"

encrypted_response = encrypt_message(shared_secret, response_message.encode())

return jsonify({
'response_ciphertext': encrypted_response.hex()
})

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)

Explanation:

1. /exchange_keys:
Receives the client's public key.
The server encapsulates a shared secret using the client’s public key.
The ciphertext is sent back to the client.
2. /secure_api:
Receives an encrypted message from the client.
Decrypts the message using the shared secret.
Processes the message and sends back an encrypted response.

React Integration:

Since the React part isn't directly handled with Python code, here's a Python client simulation for
testing:

python

import requests
import oqs
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers import Cipher, algorithms, modes
import os

def encrypt_message(shared_secret, plaintext):

iv = os.urandom(12)
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv))

ciphertext = encryptor.update(plaintext) + encryptor.finalize()
return iv + encryptor.tag + ciphertext

def decrypt_message(shared_secret, ciphertext):

iv, tag, ciphertext = ciphertext[:12], ciphertext[12:28], ciphertext[28:]
cipher = Cipher(algorithms.AES(shared_secret[:32]), modes.GCM(iv, tag))
decryptor = cipher.decryptor()
plaintext = decryptor.update(ciphertext) + decryptor.finalize()
return plaintext

client_id = "client123"
kemalg = "Kyber512"

with oqs.KeyEncapsulation(kemalg) as client:

public_key_client = client.generate_keypair()

key_exchange_response = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/exchange_keys', json={

'client_id': client_id,
'public_key': public_key_client.hex()

 })

server_ciphertext = bytes.fromhex(key_exchange_response.json()['ciphertext'])
shared_secret_client = client.decap_secret(server_ciphertext)

message = "Hello, secure server!"

encrypted_message = encrypt_message(shared_secret_client, message.encode())

api_response = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/secure_api', json={

'client_id': client_id,
'ciphertext': encrypted_message.hex()
})

encrypted_response = bytes.fromhex(api_response.json()['response_ciphertext'])
decrypted_response = decrypt_message(shared_secret_client, encrypted_response)
print(f"Decrypted server response: {decrypted_response.decode()}")

How It Works:

1. Key Exchange:
The client sends a public key to the server.
The server encapsulates a shared secret and sends back the ciphertext.
2. Secure Communication:
Both the client and server use the shared secret for AES-GCM encryption/decryption of
messages.
3. Testing:
Run the Flask server.
Use the Python client script to test encryption and decryption.

You can now modify the React app to send requests to this Flask API, following the Python client's
approach.

1. Set Up Flask Server:

The Flask server will handle the key exchange and secure communication using KEM and AES
encryption. You can use the Flask API implementation provided earlier. Here’s a summary:

The Flask server has two endpoints:

`/exchange_keys`: For key exchange.
`/secure_api`: For handling encrypted requests.
The server uses `oqs` for KEM and `cryptography` for AES encryption.

 The message to be sent to the API is encrypted using the shared secret from KEM.
2. Flask Server:

URL.
The server decrypts the message, sends it to the provided API URL, and then encrypts the
API response before sending it back to the React app.
3. Response:
The React app decrypts the server's response and displays it.

This setup allows your Flask server to securely communicate with an API URL provided by your React
app, leveraging KEM for key exchange and AES for encryption/decryption.

To integrate your React app, which only provides an API URL, with a Flask server that handles
encryption and decryption using Kyber, you can set up your Flask server to manage the secure

1. Flask Server Setup with Kyber:

Your Flask server will handle the key exchange using Kyber and perform the encryption and
decryption of messages exchanged with the provided API URL.

python

2. React App Setup:

Since the React app only provides an API URL, you won’t need to modify it much. The React app will
just need to send the API URL to the Flask server, and the Flask server will handle the secure
communication.
Here’s a basic structure for how the React app might send the API URL:

javascript

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';

const App = () => {

const [serverResponse, setServerResponse] = useState('');

const handleSecureRequest = async () => {

3. Workflow:

1. React App:
Sends the API URL to the Flask server.
2. Flask Server:
Handles the key exchange using Kyber.
Decrypts the message, interacts with the provided API URL, encrypts the API response, and
sends it back.
3. React App:
Receives the encrypted response and displays it (or decrypts it if necessary).

This setup allows your Flask server to manage the secure interaction between the provided API URL
and the React app. The React app just needs to supply the URL and handle any responses, while the
Flask server manages the cryptography.

Given that your React app will only provide the API URL to the Flask server without any encryption,
and the Flask server will handle everything else—including invoking a separate Python file to apply the
Kyber algorithm—here’s how you can set it up:

1. Flask Server Setup:

The Flask server will receive the API URL from the React app and then call a separate Python script to
handle the Kyber encryption and decryption. The server will then use the processed data to interact
with the provided API URL.
Here’s a possible structure for your Flask server:

python

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

import subprocess
import json
import requests

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 15/26
 app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/secure_api', methods=['POST'])
def secure_api():
api_url = request.json['api_url'] # API URL provided by the React app

# Call the separate Python script that handles Kyber encryption/decryption

result = subprocess.run(['python3', '/path/to/kem.py'], capture_output=True,
text=True)

if result.returncode != 0:
return jsonify({"error": "Error in processing Kyber algorithm"}), 500

# The output from the Python script

kyber_output = json.loads(result.stdout)
shared_secret = bytes.fromhex(kyber_output['shared_secret'])

# Example: Make a request to the provided API URL using the shared secret or other
processing
response = requests.get(api_url)

# Assume that you process the response using the shared secret (e.g., encrypting it)
# For simplicity, let's assume we're sending the response directly back
return jsonify({
'response': response.text,
'processed_by_kyber': kyber_output
})

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)

2. Separate Python File for Kyber (e.g., `kem.py`):

This Python script will handle the Kyber encryption and decryption. The Flask server will invoke this
script when it receives a request.
Here’s an example of what the `kem.py` script might look like:

python

import oqs
import json

def run_kyber_algorithm():
kemalg = "Kyber512"
with oqs.KeyEncapsulation(kemalg) as client:
with oqs.KeyEncapsulation(kemalg) as server:
# Client generates its keypair
public_key_client = client.generate_keypair()

# The server encapsulates its secret using the client's public key
ciphertext, shared_secret_server = server.encap_secret(public_key_client)

# The client decapsulates the server's ciphertext to obtain the shared secret
shared_secret_client = client.decap_secret(ciphertext)

# Verify the shared secrets match

shared_secrets_match = shared_secret_client == shared_secret_server

# Output the results in a format the Flask server can parse

output = {
'public_key_client': public_key_client.hex(),
'ciphertext': ciphertext.hex(),
'shared_secret': shared_secret_client.hex(),
'shared_secrets_match': shared_secrets_match
}
print(json.dumps(output))

 if __name__ == "__main__":
run_kyber_algorithm()

3. React App:

The React app will simply send the API URL to the Flask server. The Flask server will handle everything
from encryption to making the request to the API.
Example React code to send the API URL:

javascript

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';

const App = () => {

const [serverResponse, setServerResponse] = useState('');

const handleSecureRequest = async () => {

try {
const apiUrl = "https://your-api-url.com/endpoint"; // API URL from React app

// Send the API URL to the Flask server

const apiResponse = await axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/secure_api', {
api_url: apiUrl
});

setServerResponse(apiResponse.data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during secure request:', error);
}
};

return (
<div>
<h1>Secure API Request</h1>
<button onClick={handleSecureRequest}>Send Secure Request</button>
<p>Server Response: {JSON.stringify(serverResponse)}</p>
</div>
);
};

export default App;

4. Workflow:

1. React App:
Sends the API URL to the Flask server.
2. Flask Server:
Receives the API URL and calls the `kem.py` script to perform the Kyber algorithm.
Uses the results from the Kyber algorithm to securely interact with the provided API URL.
3. Flask Server to API:
Makes a request to the API and processes the response using the shared secret obtained
from the Kyber algorithm.
4. Flask to React App:
Returns the processed API response to the React app.

This setup allows you to keep the encryption logic separate from the Flask server, with the flexibility to
modify the Kyber-related operations without altering the server code.

ChatGPT said:

You should include the React code in the relevant component of your React application where you
want to handle the secure API request. Here's how you can integrate it into your React app:

1. Create a New Component:

If you don't already have a suitable component, you can create a new React component to handle the
secure API request. For example, create a file called `SecureApiRequest.js`:

javascript

// src/components/SecureApiRequest.js

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';

const SecureApiRequest = () => {

const [serverResponse, setServerResponse] = useState('');

const handleSecureRequest = async () => {

try {
const apiUrl = "https://your-api-url.com/endpoint"; // API URL from React app

// Send the API URL to the Flask server

const apiResponse = await axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/secure_api', {
api_url: apiUrl
});

setServerResponse(apiResponse.data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during secure request:', error);
}
};

return (
<div>
<h1>Secure API Request</h1>
<button onClick={handleSecureRequest}>Send Secure Request</button>
<p>Server Response: {JSON.stringify(serverResponse)}</p>
</div>
);
};

export default SecureApiRequest;

2. Include the Component in Your App:

Next, you can include this component in your main `App.js` or wherever appropriate in your React
app's component hierarchy:

javascript

// src/App.js

import React from 'react';

import SecureApiRequest from './components/SecureApiRequest';

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 18/26
 function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<SecureApiRequest />
</div>
);
}

export default App;

3. Set Up Your Project:

1. Ensure you have Axios installed: If you don't already have Axios installed, you can install it by
running:

bash

npm install axios

2. Run your React app: Start your React app by running:

bash

npm start

4. Testing:

When you run your React app, the `SecureApiRequest` component will display a button labeled "Send
Secure Request." Clicking this button will send the API URL to your Flask server, which will then handle
the secure communication using the Kyber algorithm.

5. Integrate with Existing Code:

If you already have an existing component where the secure API request should be handled, you can
directly integrate the `handleSecureRequest` function within that component and adjust the UI as
needed.
This approach keeps your React code modular and easy to manage, allowing you to handle secure API
requests in a dedicated component.

The `server.py` file (which is your Flask server) should be outside the React app folder. Here's how
you should organize your project:

Project Structure:

my-project/
│
├── react-app/ # Your React app folder
│ ├── src/

│ ├── public/
│ ├── package.json
│ └── ... (other React files)
│
├── server.py # Flask server
├── kem.py # Separate Python file for Kyber encryption
└── ... (other files)

Explanation:

React App Folder (`react-app/`):

This contains all your React application code. It should include your components, such as
`SecureApiRequest.js`, and the main application files like `App.js`.
This folder is managed by React's development environment, and it should be separate
from your backend server code.
Flask Server (`server.py`):
The `server.py` file is your Flask backend server. It handles the requests from the React
app, calls the Kyber algorithm in `kem.py`, and interacts with external APIs.
This file is placed outside the React app directory because it's a separate service that runs
independently of your frontend.
Kyber Algorithm Script (`kem.py`):
This script handles the Kyber encryption and decryption logic and is called by the Flask
server.
Like `server.py`, it should be outside the React app folder.

Running the Project:

1. Start the Flask Server:

Open a terminal in the root directory (`my-project/`) and run:

bash

python3 server.py

This will start the Flask server, which will listen for requests from the React app.
2. Start the React App:
In another terminal, navigate to the `react-app/` directory and start the React app:

bash

npm start

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 20/26
 This will start the React development server, which serves your frontend.

Communication Flow:

1. React App: Sends the API URL to the Flask server via an HTTP POST request.
2. Flask Server: Receives the request, calls the `kem.py` script to handle Kyber encryption,
processes the API interaction, and sends back a response.
3. React App: Receives and displays the response from the Flask server.

This separation of concerns between the frontend (React) and backend (Flask) helps in maintaining a
clear and modular structure.

ChatGPT said:

The error "Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'axios'" indicates that Axios, the library used for
making HTTP requests, is not installed in your React project. To resolve this issue, you need to install
Axios in your React app.
Here’s how you can do it:

1. Install Axios:

Open a terminal and navigate to your React app directory (`flipkart` in your case). Run the following
command to install Axios:

bash

npm install axios

This command will add Axios to your project’s dependencies and install it.

2. Verify Installation:

After installation, you should see `axios` listed in the `dependencies` section of your `package.json`
file:

json

"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.21.1",
"react": "^17.0.2",
"react-dom": "^17.0.2",
"react-scripts": "4.0.3",
// other dependencies...
}

3. Restart the React Development Server:

 If the server is already running, you may need to restart it after installing Axios:

bash

npm start

4. Try Again:

Now, when you run your React app, the error should be resolved, and Axios should work correctly in
your `SecureApiRequest.js` component.

To create an endpoint in your Flask server that the React app can communicate with, you'll need to
define a route in the `server.py` file. This endpoint will handle the request from the React app,
perform any necessary processing, and return a response.
Here’s how to set up a basic Flask endpoint:

1. Flask Server Setup:

Assume your Flask server is already set up in `server.py`. You can define an endpoint like this:

python

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/api/data', methods=['POST'])
def process_data():
# Extract data sent from the React app
data = request.json
api_url = data.get('api_url')

# Here you can process the data, apply the Kyber algorithm, etc.
# For demonstration, we'll just return a mock response

response = {
'status': 'success',
'message': 'Data processed successfully',
'api_url_received': api_url
}

return jsonify(response), 200

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)

2. React App Code:

In your React component (e.g., `SecureApiRequest.js`), you will send a request to this endpoint:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 22/26
 javascript

import React, { useState } from 'react';

import axios from 'axios';

const SecureApiRequest = () => {

const [serverResponse, setServerResponse] = useState('');

const handleSecureRequest = async () => {

try {
const apiUrl = "https://your-api-url.com/endpoint"; // Replace with your
actual API URL

// Send the API URL to the Flask server

const apiResponse = await axios.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/data', {
api_url: apiUrl
});

setServerResponse(apiResponse.data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during secure request:', error);
}
};

return (
<div>
<h1>Secure API Request</h1>
<button onClick={handleSecureRequest}>Send Secure Request</button>
<p>Server Response: {JSON.stringify(serverResponse)}</p>
</div>
);
};

export default SecureApiRequest;

3. Running the Server and React App:

1. Start the Flask Server:

Open a terminal in the directory where your `server.py` is located and run:

bash

python3 server.py

This will start the Flask server on `http://127.0.0.1:5000`.

2. Start the React App:
Navigate to your React app directory (`flipkart`) in another terminal and start the React
development server:

bash

npm start

4. Testing the Endpoint:

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 23/26
 When you run the React app and click the "Send Secure Request" button, it will make a POST request
to the Flask server's `/api/data` endpoint. The Flask server will receive the request, process it, and
send back a response, which the React app will then display.

5. Extending the Flask Endpoint:

Data Processing: Inside the `process_data` function, you can add your logic for handling the
Kyber algorithm or any other processing needed before responding to the React app.
Error Handling: You might want to add error handling to ensure robust communication
between the React app and Flask server.

This setup allows your React app to communicate with your Flask backend via a simple API, enabling
more complex operations like encryption, decryption, or data manipulation on the server side.

To integrate the `SecureApiRequest.js` component into your existing `App.js`, you’ll need to do the
following:

1. Import the `SecureApiRequest` Component into `App.js`.

2. Add a Route for `SecureApiRequest` so that it is accessible via a URL path.

Here’s how you can modify your `App.js`:

Step 1: Import `SecureApiRequest` Component

First, import the `SecureApiRequest` component at the top of your `App.js` file:

javascript

import SecureApiRequest from './Components/SecureApiRequest/SecureApiRequest';

Step 2: Add a Route for `SecureApiRequest`

Next, add a new `<Route>` inside the `<Routes>` element to render `SecureApiRequest` when the user
navigates to a specific URL path. For example, let's use `/secure-api` as the path:

javascript

function App() {
return (
<TemplateProvider>
<ContextProvider>
<BrowserRouter>
<Header />
<Box style={{ marginTop: 54 }}>
<Routes>
<Route path='/' element={<Home />} />
<Route path='/cart' element={<Cart />} />

Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 24/26
 <Route path='/product/:id' element={<DetailView />} />
<Route path='/secure-api' element={<SecureApiRequest />} /> {/* New Route
*/}
<Route path='*' element={<NotFound />} /> {/* NotFound route to handle
unknown paths */}
</Routes>
</Box>
</BrowserRouter>
</ContextProvider>
</TemplateProvider>
);
}

export default App;

Step 3: Create and Place `SecureApiRequest.js`

Ensure that `SecureApiRequest.js` is correctly placed in your `Components` directory:

If `SecureApiRequest.js` is in the folder `src/Components/SecureApiRequest/`, the import will work

as is.

If it's in a different directory, update the import path accordingly.

Step 4: Navigating to the New Route

With this setup, you can now navigate to `http://localhost:3000/secure-api` in your browser to see
the `SecureApiRequest` component.

Final `App.js` Code Example:

javascript

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';

import { Home, NotFound } from './Components/default';
import { Box } from '@mui/material'
import './App.css';

// components
import Header from './Components/Header/Header';
import DetailView from './Components/ItemDetails/DetailView';
import TemplateProvider from './templates/TemplateProvider';
import ContextProvider from './context/ContextProvider';
import Cart from './Components/Cart/Cart';
import SecureApiRequest from './Components/SecureApiRequest/SecureApiRequest'; // Import
SecureApiRequest

function App() {
return (
<TemplateProvider>
<ContextProvider>
<BrowserRouter>
<Header />
<Box style={{ marginTop: 54 }}>
<Routes>
<Route path='/' element={<Home />} />
<Route path='/cart' element={<Cart />} />
<Route path='/product/:id' element={<DetailView />} />
<Route path='/secure-api' element={<SecureApiRequest />} /> {/* Route for
SecureApiRequest */}
<Route path='*' element={<NotFound />} /> {/* Handle unknown paths */}
</Routes>
</Box>
</BrowserRouter>

</TemplateProvider>
);
}

export default App;

Accessing the Secure API Request Feature

After this setup, you can navigate to `http://localhost:3000/secure-api` to access the

`SecureApiRequest` component, where the user can trigger the secure API request to your Flask
backend.
