Note: This project is for educational purposes and should not be used in a production environment.
An Express demo-app featuring encrypted user signup forms, user login forms & session variables (cookies). All stored in a .json format.

The goal of this project is to function as a reference for teaching, and learning, the fundamentals of:

• Cryptography (Two-way (en|de)cryption, incl. salt & pepper)
• Hashing algorithms (One-way encryption)
• GET/POST request handling
• Handling user data
• Managing databases / datasets
• Spotting edge cases
• Input sanitization
• Session files / Cookies

• Edge case: Add a redirect callback wherever /login is referenced
• Add "Edit Profile" functionality; display name, password, etc.
• Define "login" protected zones in a more intuitive manner.
• Sanitize inputs (no special characters in name etc.)
• Add a NoSQL/SQL version.

Ideally this project should be segmented and further explained in a wiki, step by step. Detailing the wrong ways & the less wrong ways.
Might get to that eventually, for now a classroom environment will do.
