Cyrano Server

Cyrano is a learning project by hilarious potato during our web development bootcamp at Ironhack.

Cyrano Server is the Backend for the Cyrano App, which provides users a simple way to share encrypted messages. The process of encryption and decryption happens entirely in the frontend. That has brought up a few challenges for us. Maybe, we haven’t solved them entirely on CIA level, but it works 💪!
