Abstract:
The assignment was to implement a secure E-commerce solution for the Internet, in an isolated LAN consisting of 3 machines: a Novell-server for authentication on the LAN, a NT-server to run the web server and a NT-workstation with Netscape Communicator to simulate the users.
After some research, I have chosen to use Netscape Enterprise Server (NES) 3.5.1 as web server and Java Servlets to do all information processing on the server. Javascript is used to add some intelligence on the client-side. Also on the client-side, cookies are used to keep track of temporary data. The security of purchase is guaranteed by the use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
Practically, this thesis project consists of a web site that allows the secure purchase of items over the Internet, featuring shopping carts, Credit Card validation, a database of customers and a database of products. It also contains documentation/reviews on: JBuilder 1.1, Installing Netware 4.11, Installing Windows NT over a LAN and configuring Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1.
