Site Security

Hey guy's

How would i go about adding site security to me web page .. I'm new at this so bare with me.

Would I have to buy an application or is it somehting like a DLL that I have to implement?

In site security I mean .. Password authentication and maybe later on C-Card details.

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Depends on what kind of site your running - ASP or straight HTML? With ASP you can validate user information against a database.

What kind of site is this?

Hey there

I'm running ASP and already validating users against a Database.

I want to do Encryption ... of the data sent over the lines .. what can i use for that?

Thanks for the help!

How about SSL (https on port 443)? You need to buy a certificate from someone like Verisign or Thawte. Then you need to set it up on the server (I believe IIS might have a wizard, or else check MSDN). Then user can access you site through https://www.yoursite.com/secure.asp and the data will be encrypted as it's sent.

Hi Randhart,

In ASP you can encrypt the querystring. Here is an article to get you started:
