A case study based project which was part of a Web Technology Integration unit at Bournemouth University, BSc (Hons) Computing degree.

The project’s requirement was to build a login/signup system for an eCommerce store.
The system had to:

• Allow an unregistered user to sign up
• Allow a registered customer to log in (and once logged in)
  • Display the user’s personal details  and allow them to update their details
  • Allow logged in users to change their password
• Use a mechanism to allow users to stay logged in (e.g. cookies)
• Connect to a database where the users’ details are stored.

Demo of the system: Here

Some of the features of the system include:

• Entered data validation
  • Client side
    • via javascript to validate the user input on the front-end
  • Server side
    • via php to validate and sanitize user input on the back-end
•  Security
  • Session Hijacking prevention
  • SQL Injections prevention
  • Brute Force Attacks prevention
  • Password encryption using 128-bit hash algorithm (SHA-512)
  • Database connection information hidden in a separate file
