Build a Secure File Sharing App with Rust, Axum, Next.js & ShadCN | End-to-End Encryption

Description:

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build a secure file-sharing application using Rust and Axum for the backend, paired with Next.js and ShadCN for the frontend. This project demonstrates end-to-end encryption using AES and RSA, ensuring high-level privacy and security for file transfers. Whether you're enhancing your Rust backend skills or building a responsive frontend with Next.js, this tutorial covers everything. What You'll Learn: Building the Backend with Rust & Axum: Set up Axum to handle API routes and requests. Implement AES for fast encryption and RSA for secure key exchange. Use CBC block mode for stronger encryption. Developing the Frontend with Next.js & ShadCN: Build a dynamic Next.js frontend for managing file uploads/downloads. Use ShadCN components for a sleek UI. Connect the Next.js frontend to the Axum backend via secure API routes. Testing the Full Stack App: Ensure that end-to-end encryption works as intended. Test both backend and frontend for security and smooth user experience. By the end, you'll have built a fully functional, encrypted file-sharing app using Rust, Axum, Next.js, and ShadCN. Key Concepts: Rust & Axum Backend: Learn Rust with Axum to create a secure backend. Next.js Frontend: Develop a scalable and responsive frontend. End-to-End Encryption: Use AES and RSA to secure file data. Block Modes: Strengthen encryption with CBC mode. API Integration: Connect frontend to backend for secure file transfers. Tools Used: Backend: Rust, Axum, AES, RSA for encryption. Frontend: Next.js, ShadCN for responsive UI. Testing: Ensure encryption works with unit and integration tests. Why Watch This Video: Build a secure full-stack app using Rust, Axum, Next.js, and ShadCN. Master end-to-end encryption with AES and RSA.
