Here, we will discuss some of
the popular software security measures to protect your web applications.
However, none of them is a complete security solution for your web. It would be
a great idea to combine these approaches with hardware to protect your business
from unwanted attacks. The two most important security considerations are
authorization and authentication. It is necessary to learn how you can
implement these considerations in your application.
- Authentication:
Here users’ privileges areas
are verified before he takes entry to a protected area of website. The two
broad categories of authentication include – basic and form-based
authentication.
- Basic authentication:
Users can access unprotected
areas of website without entering a password. However, to access the secure
page it is necessary to give a username and password. Both security parameters
are encoded and directed to web server in a secure form. If your username and
password are authenticated then you are free to access a secure page of
website.
- Form-based authentication:
This is most popular approach
used by eCommerce sites and other businesses worldwide. This is a fast access
technique where you don’t have to wait much to browse the protected area.
- Authorization:
Authorization protects your
java web application against most sophisticated hackers. The two broad
categories of authorization include – Code and caller authorization.
- Code authorization:
The process removes unwanted
code from class-path and has full control over the application. The team makes
sure that your application is free from extraneous code and third-party tools.
Caller authorization:
Similar to code, you can also
protect caller or back-office systems. To access the protected area, it is
necessary to give correct username and password. If security parameters are
wrong, it prevents caller from completing the action.
Protecting web applications is
an important consideration for Java development by an Indian team. It surely
minimizes java development time, unwanted security attacks, and coding efforts.
