| Summary: | Security is an essential entity to any software application. The most famous
threat to any software application is unauthorized updating and deleting of the
application and data. Characteristics of a software application that could contribute to
the degree of security concerns are accessibility, forgery, vulnerability and density. If
the software application contains most of these characteristics, the more vulnerable it
would be to any security threats. Thus, a web application being an open application
and contains all of the characteristics faces the most degree of security concern and
open to all possibility security threats such as hacker, eavesdropping and spooling. A
security system that would secure the web application from most of the security
threats is crucially needed. The findings of this research is in the form of a prototype of a security system
specifically for a web application. The web application that it secures is a knowledge
application. The prototype is called SecureApp. It is developed by using Microsoft
Visual Basic as its development tool and Microsoft Access as its database package.
SecureApp consists of two main applications which are User Identification and
Security Administration. These applications follow a predetermined security policy
developed to protect the web application. Theory of encryption is used in its design
and development for both applications especially to secure the passwords.
SecureApp gives solution to the problem of securing a web application from any
unauthorized users and other threats. The Security Administration application would
allow the Security Administrator to monitor and detect any users who tries to b reach
the security policy of the web application. Whereas, the User Identification application
would secure the web application and ensure that the security policy of the web
application is not breached. |
