-# Cloud chat
+# CloudChat API
 
 SecureChat API is a Java Spring Boot application that provides a secure and efficient platform for storing and retrieving files while enabling secure communication between users through encrypted messages. The API leverages Spring Security for robust authentication and authorization mechanisms, ensuring the protection of sensitive user data.
-Features
 
-    File Storage and Retrieval: Easily upload and retrieve files through RESTful endpoints, making use of PostgreSQL for efficient data management.
+## Features
 
-    JWT Authorization and Authentication: Implementing JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure user authentication and authorization, adding an extra layer of protection to your API.
+- **File Storage and Retrieval:** Easily upload and retrieve files through RESTful endpoints, making use of PostgreSQL for efficient data management.
 
-    Group Creation and Messaging: Users can create groups, collaborate with each other, and exchange messages within these groups. Messages are encrypted using broadcast encryption for enhanced security.
+- **JWT Authorization and Authentication:** Implementing JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure user authentication and authorization, adding an extra layer of protection to your API.
 
-    Guava Cache Integration: Utilize Guava Cache to store temporary encryption keys, ensuring optimal performance and automatically clearing keys after 12 hours.

-Development Setup
+- **Guava Cache Integration:** Utilize Guava Cache to store temporary encryption keys, ensuring optimal performance and automatically clearing keys after 12 hours.
+
+## Development Setup
 
 For simplicity during development, the project utilizes the same database for storing users' public and secret keys. Similarly, sensitive information like JWT secrets and connection settings are stored directly in constants within their respective classes.
 
 Please note that this approach may differ in a production environment where a more secure storage strategy for secrets and keys is recommended.
