SECURITY



Whenever a new semester starts students are in dire need of textbooks, but very cheap textbooks don’t come by easily, and my entrepreneurial idea is bathed from this NEED! I want to come up with a website which will offer students the opportunity to buy or sell their textbooks.
Due to the nature of this business, advanced methods of cryptography will have to be employed to secure the user’s data. Cryptography, which can simply be defined as hidden secret writing (Wikipedia), will enhance the site’s security as users log into their accounts. Hence, when users type their passwords, they can be sure that the business is applying information security protocols, like typography, specifically the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to secure their data.
Maintaining a clean website is very important, and as such I will make use of three suggestions adapted from:
1)      Identifying bad behavior
2)      Removing the badware behavior
3)      Preventing future infection
Badware such as: Malicious scripts; ,htaccess redirects, and hidden iframes will be thoroughly searched for by the website’s developers, so as to find the exact code. Once identified, corrective measures will be undertaken to delete the code, and prevent future infection.
