1. Date : 2/12/2010 Web Technology Solutions Class: Adding Security and Authentication Features to Your Application

2. Tonight ✤ DB Review PHP User RegistrationPHP User Login PHP User Password ResetLab

3. Lab Preview ✤ Continue CRUD on Final ✤ Create Single Survey ✤ Create, Update and Delete Questions ✤ Create Responses, View Responses ✤ Build a User Auth System for Final ✤ Build Registration Page ✤ Build Login Script ✤ Build Password Reset

4. Final Project Review ✤ Final Project - Web App (link) ✤ registration feature ✤ login logout ✤ admin ability to create\read\update\delete (CRUD) ✤ Maintain State throughout app (cookies\sessions) ✤ XML and RSS feeds ✤ Valid HTML and CSS design

5. PHP Output Control ✤ Output Control allows you to tell PHP when to submit information to the browser. ✤ Great: ✤ Working with header(), avoid errors ✤ Controlling Browser Output ✤ Cons: ✤ Buffer Limits (default bite size of 4096kb) ✤ Memory Limits

6. Output Buffering ✤ ob_start(); ✤ Turns on output buffering ✤ data is held within internal “buffer” waiting to be published to the browser. ✤ Call at start of script ✤ Can have a callback function ✤ Can nest buffers

7. Output Buffering ✤ ob_end_flush() ✤ Sends the data in the buffer to the browser ✤ Turns off output buffer. ✤ Loop through ob_end_flush() to close all jobs

8. Output Buffering ✤ ob_end_clean() ✤ //removes data from the buffer (doesn’t go to browser) ✤ ob_flush() ✤ //send data to the browser but buffer remains on ✤ ob_get_contents() ✤ //get the content of the buffer (no browser or erase)

9. String Encryption ✤ Add additional security by using string encryption on secure data. ✤ Passwords. Credit Cards, etc. ✤ md5() //creates a 32 hex-dex char ✤ apple = 1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f ✤ Good for one way matching ✤ Cannot “reverse”

10. String Encryption ✤ The sha1() function calculates the SHA-1 hash of a string. ✤ Stronger encryption that md5. ✤ Hackers and Rainbow Tables ✤ $str = 'Hello'; ✤ echo sha1($str); //f7ff9e8b7bb2e09b70935a5d785e0cc5d9d0abf0

11. Salts ✤ In cryptography, a salt consists of random bits that are used as one of the inputs to a key derivation function.cryptographyrandombitskey derivation function ✤ $str = 'Hello'; ✤ $salt = “World”; ✤ $storage = $str. $salt; ✤ echo sha1($storage); //fwd8s23jd9sfjk9sdfljk3jsd8kdwv

12. Lab & Next Week ✤ Lab ✤ Create Login system ✤ Properly Encrypt Password. ✤ Add Security and Authorization into your app. ✤ Reading: Chapter 11 See you Tuesday!
