COMP2098 Chapter Notes -Dialog Box, Microsoft Visual Studio, Asp.Net
Document Summary
The first step in securing your applications is deciding where you need security and what it needs to protect. For example, you may need to block access in order to protect private information. Or, maybe you just need to enforce a pay-for-content system. Perhaps you don"t need any sort of security at all, but you want an optional login feature to provide personalization for frequent visitors. These requirements will determine the approach you use. Security doesn"t need to be complex, but it does need to be wide-ranging and multilayered. For example, consider an e-commerce website that allows users to view reports of their recently placed orders. You probably already know the first line of defense that this website should use a login page that forces users to identify themselves before they can see any personal information. In this chapter, you"ll learn how to use this sort of authentication system.
