A Web-based Integrated Console for Controlling a Set of Networks (WICCSN) By Avinash & Amber For Web Security Class under Dr Yang Andrews

Agenda  Project Introduction  Design  Prototype Screen Shots  Questions and Answers

What is WICCSN?  Network today consists of Wired and wireless counterparts  Network has grown enormously  Needs CONTROL  Web is Ubiquitous  Controlling should be easy through web  If not necessarily all the configurations, settings

Challenges  What all to be controlled( The servers, switches, routers, firewalls other shared devices)  How much of control is possible  What different technologies could be used  Security of the interfaces Secure web Connections Secure web Connections Secure Data Base and connectivity Secure Data Base and connectivity

Initial Design  4 Tier system separated well enough to support any extensions  Advantage: not much changes to other interfaces if one interface changes or is modified  Problem! – lack of time

More Middleware  Middle ware implements and understands all the API’s nuances  Could easily support many simple calls from the web server( implemented using JSP, ASP.. Etc) like mw_read(args*) mw_write(args*) mw_modify(args*)..  Can acess more than one type of database & also other applications

WICCSN – an introspection  Very ambitious project to be done in 3 months!  Lacking expertise in the key areas, including the know how about the networks work  Controlling the network through web needs some more technologies to be familiar with.

So far..  Prototype  Proof of concepts for middleware  Design Still to go..  More Network tools  JNI interface  HTTPS
