Achieving data security in the bonus sharing system “bonusharing”

Abstract

The implementation of data security is arguably one of the most important aspects when developing a modern system. All application functions that somehow manipulate, store or view personalized or sensitive data should be brought to standard so that they guarantee confidentiality, integrity and availability. Since man-in-the-middle attacks could try to insert/remove data in a dataflow, it is important to follow such principles in all system data-related functions, communication and data storage. Building a safe and reliable system is not an easy task, but can be simplified by following basic methodologies and concepts created by professionals. It is recommended to implement well-known methods of security, as achieved in the “BonuSharing” system
