Client-Server Java Application with mySQL db (P2P connection)

In this project, you are required to design and implement using JAVA a COVID prevention application to keep university campus safe. The project is composed of two parts. In the first part, you are expected to develop the basic features of a COVID prevention application using a client/server paradigm. For the purpose of your application, you decide whether TCP or UDP is to be used as the underlying transport layer technology. Users create accounts and log in a centralized server that has to keep track of the health status of all students and instructors and, moreover, provide instructions to stop the spread of COVID. You have to define the protocol to be used between the client and the server and implement it. In the second part, the application has to be extended to support a hybrid architecture that allows peer-to-peer communication where clients can update each other about their health status. As an optional feature and for additional credit, you are asked to design your system to support privacy. This extension will be assessed based on its novelty and completeness. Client-Server COV ID@UNI Application (90 pts) Client - Design and implement a COVID prevention client that has the following features and functionalities: • The client has a graphical user interface (GUI). • The user opens the client application and connects to the server application using the server domain name and port number. • The user is given the option to register or to login. • If the user is not registered, they can sign up and provide the server with name, photo, email address, username, password, and vaccination status. If the user is vaccinated, they are asked to upload the vaccination certificate to complete their portfolio. • The user sends regular updates to the server including their location. • In the case of a registered user, the user logs in with their existing account where the server performs authentication by verifying the username and password. • The user can query for the total number of active cases and other interesting statistics that you may choose to include. • The user has the option to identify a group of trusted people to whom they wish to disclose their health status. • The user can check the status of any other user who indicated them as trusted. • The user shares the positive PCR result, if any, with the server. • The user has three status conditions, contagious if they tested positive, at risk if they were exposed to the virus, and safe otherwise. • The user gets update from the server if they got close to a user with contagious status or with at risk status. Server - Design and implement a COVID prevention server that has the following features and functionalities: • The server application takes as a command line argument the port number on which it would be listening. • The server allows the users to register and login. • Every time a new user signs up for a new account, the server adds a new user. • Every time a user logs in, the server authenticates them by verifying their username and password. • The server application manages a database that stores user accounts and details. • The server has to keep track of the IP address, port number, and location of each user (if the user is online). • The server changes the user status to contagious if they tested positive, at risk if they were exposed to the virus, and safe otherwise. • If infected, the server keeps track of the number of days the user spent in quarantine, and once completed, it changes the user status to safe. • Depending on the user status, the server provides instructions related to quarantining, doing a PCR test, taking precautionary measures, and others. • The server allows the user to retrieve some virus statistics on campus. • The server sends notifications and instructions to all users who got close to someone tested positive or at risk.
