Abstract:
Today many sites on the World Wide Web require identification of a user and
have many reasons for such identifications.. Subscription oriented sites need to verify
identity of the user or often corporate intranet sites need to secure access to propriety
information, also many Web sites sometime wish to tailor services to the preferences of
the individual users. Microsoft provides standard verification mechanism in their product
Internet Information Server (IIS), which uses Windows NT security system to manage
rights and identification scheme by utilizing familiar tools such as NT User Manager and
File Manager. However, IIS is unsuitable for Internet use when large no of Internet users
are required to be identified and provided the permissions individually. In the existing
scenario the main objective of the project under consideration is to develop the
authentication software that works independent of the IIS and NT interface and access
control functions, but still be able to provide directory and file level security. In Army,
keeping in view the requirements of handling the information safely, so that no
unauthorized person should be able to access in confidential information, such system
will provide a sound footing for developing any extra ordinary system as per the specific
requirement of in department.
