 CLIENT-SERVER NETWORK SECURITY

Introduction to network Security

We can define that Network Security is a set of rules and
regulations which are designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and the private
data of the Computer Networks by using both the hardware and software
technologies. Each and Every organization from smallest scale to biggest use various
network security techniques to protect their network and to maintain a security
around their network.
Now-a-days our architecture is very complex and there is threat of
being hacked by the attackers which attack on our network and on our data as well.
So, to protect our network and our system we have to use the Network Security.

E-Commerce Security:
Todays most of the people do shopping online through ecommerce sites
because it is the best and easy way to get a lot of stuff from one place and so many
offers are also provided by these ecommerce websites. To maintain the privacy of
the costumers and to provide them a safe environment to shop online and safe for
their payments the Ecommerce Websites give them the security.
With the help of this security a person can easily do the
shopping online and it is also able to do the payment transactions online. The
Ecommerce sites main focus on the security so that no a single fraud happens with
their Costumer.
The Security of the E-commerce is divided into two parts:
1. Client-Server Network Security
2. Data and Transaction Security
 1. Client-Server Network Security:
In Client-server Security a different type of Security
Environment is created with the help of the Authorization methods. In this
various security techniques are used which make sure that only a valid user or a
program has the valid access to the information resources such as a person
account or a database.
A Client-Server relation is made with the help of the Security so that there is only
a one server and various clients which are authorized persons to use that server
for example On Amazon site there are various clients that are their costumers and
each and every person have their own account which has a username and
password so that only the valid person is able to use that account.
In this proper access control mechanism is maintained to ensure that only the
authenticated users are allowed to access the resources in which they are
interested.
Such mechanism includes password protection, bio-metrics, encrypted payment
system and firewalls.

Various Problems that lead to Client Server Network Security threats:

1. Physical Security Holes:
In this there is the unauthorized access to the data and the
hackers gain the password.

2. Software Security Holes:

In this there is hole due to bad program and due to send mail
hole- knee88, root access.

3. Inconsistent usage Holes:

In this the admin assembles the hardware and software.
To overcome these problems the following Protection methods have been
developed
PROTECTION METHODS:
1. Trust based Security:
In this approach we assume that no one get access to the data that it
will get the root access and delete the files.
2. Security through Obscurity:
In this we hide our password in binary files or in the scripts with the
assumption that “nobody will ever find them”.
3. Password Schemes:
In this we make a strong password by using a mixed password or
changing password.
4. Biometric System:
In this there are finger prints, palm prints, signature verification, voice
recognition and retinal patterns.
