Secure Web Access Control Algorithm
This addresses web security for PHP-based sites, but it is incremental as it builds on existing session mechanisms.
The paper tackled securing web access by proposing a flexible and efficient algorithm based on PHP sessions, resulting in a method that enables implementation of secured access through a portal page and an additional script for registered users.
The paper presents a flexible and efficient method to secure the access to a Web site implemented in PHP script language. The algorithm is based on the PHP session mechanism. The proposed method is a general one and offers the possibility to implement a PHP based secured access to a Web site, through a portal page and using an additional script included in any site page, which is required to be accessed only by registered users. This paper presents the design, implementation and integration of the algorithm on any generic WEB site.
