Assignment #$2$ is the extension of Assignment #$1,$ in which you

will implement a secure$,$ robust TCP client$-$server

communication system for the "Guess the Number" game using

Python's socket and SSL libraries. This implementation should

ensure that all communications are encrypted using SSL$/$TLS and

handle data transmission and reception reliably.

Requirements:

Server$-$Client Communication:

a$.$ Implement a synchronous server that can handle one

client at a time.

b$.$ The server chooses a random number between $1$ and $10,$

which the client must guess.

c$.$ The client will request to start the game by sending

the first request as "start."

d$.$ The client will have only five attempts to guess the

correct number

e$.$ The client will only win if he guesses the correct

number within five attempts.

Data Handling:

a$.$ Communications between the server and the client

should be serialized using JSON.

b$.$ Implement error handling to manage incomplete or

improperly formatted JSON data.

Security Features:

a$.$ Use SSL$/$TLS to secure all client and server

communications.

b$.$ Generate your own SSL certificates for testing.

Game History:

a$.$ The server and the client should maintain a history

of all messages exchanged during the game.

b$.$ This history should be compressed and saved at the

end of each game session using Python's pickle and

zlib modules.

c$.$ Ensure the chat history can be loaded and displayed

upon restarting the server or client.

Logging:

a$.$ Implement logging to capture important events such

as connections, disconnections, and errors.

Error Handling

a$.$ The program should handle the proper termination of

the client and server.

b$.$ The application should be able to detect and handle

network errors such as Connection, Socket, Timeout,

invalid certificates, invalid client requests, etc.

The exchange of messages between the server and client during

the game will follow the following conditions and message text

based on the difference between the actual number with the

server and the guessed number by the client:

$x=$ randomly chosen number by server

guess $=$ number guessed by a client

attempts $=$ number of attempts by the client

Game Conditions and messages:
