RISHABH CHAUHAN | WebSocket Based Ockam Transport In TypeScript

[rishabh99-rc]

Hii, I am Rishabh Chauhan, a pre-final year computer science undergrad student from Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology. I have been working on Web Authentication for the past couple of months (using the API & also using Firebase). I also have experience in Typescript, Javascript, MongoDB, React, Nodejs, C++ and have built projects related to the same.

I want to learn more about WebSocket Based Ockam Transport In TypeScript. As far as I could get the Routing Protocol decouples Ockam's suite of cryptographic protocols, like secure channels, key lifecycle, credential exchange, enrollment, etc. from the underlying transport protocols. This allows applications to establish end-to-end trust between entities.
This enables WebSocket to be one possible transport for Routing Protocol messages.

Looking forward to having a discussion and working under the Externship for Ockam.
Thanks!

First of all, thank you @mrinalwadhwa for creating such amazing documentation for Ockam. It really helped me a lot to head-start my understanding for End-to-End Encryption with Rust

To be honest sir, I don't have much exposure to the RUST framework but I am willing to read more about it and check out the docs as I have been doing the same. Can't wait to contribute to this project and would love to be a part of this amazing organization.

Timeline

So, this is how I have decided to approach my project & have made a rough timeline related to the same.

Week	Goals	Description
1	Mentor-Mentee Bonding	Interaction with the community
2	Understanding	understanding the codebase
3	Architecture creation	making a rough architecture as to how things would work out for us
4	Coding Rust implementation	understanding & coding the rust implementation for protocols
5	Coding	writing a code in TypeScript from the insights given by the mentors
6	Pipe component	Creating pipe component (unidirectional transport).
7	Channel Component	Creating a channel (bidirectional transport).
8	Stream Component	Creating a stream (transport with persistent storage)
9	Improvisation	improving the core logic by discussing with the mentor
10	Documentation	further improvisation by tweaking the code style, modularity & documentation
12	Testing	code testing so that it's production-ready

Time commitments:

I am currently having my End-Sem exams, which will get over by 7th Jan, after that by 23rd Jan our next session would begin in the offline mode, rest I don't have any other commitments during the externship period. So I would be adequately able to commit to the project.

@mrinalwadhwa, I wanted to implement the client-server example using the ockam_transport_websocket.

but was unable to do so. Although, I have already updated my Cargo.toml file, but tbh I didn't find much documentation on the implementation of the web-socket examples.

Although, I got a jist about what Web Socket is, after watching the Ockam Community Call - Sept 8, 2021, but still there no clear implementation of the example.

If possible, please do write a bit about it, so that we can implement it on our local system & get to know as to how things work for Ockam's Routing Protocol.
