Popis
Shrnutí:The world is exceedingly reliant on the Internet. Nowadays, web security is biggest challenge in the corporate world. It is considered as the principle framework for the worldwide data society. Web applications are prone to security attacks. Web security is securing a web application layer from attacks by unauthorized users. A lot of the issues that occur over a web application is mainly due to the improper input provided by the client. This paper discusses the different aspects of web security and it's weakness. The main elements of web security techniques such as the passwords, encryption, authentication and integrity are also discussed in this paper. The anatomy of a web application attack and the attack techniques are also covered in details. This paper explores a number of methods for combatting this class of threats and assesses why they have not proven more successful. This paper proposes a better way for minimizing these type of web vulnerabilities. It also provides the best security mechanisms for the said attacks.
