Objectives

In this project, students will study security model for ASP.NET applications.

A functional ASP.NET application relies on the successful interoperation of many different elements and technologies. Each solution component provides security capabilities designed to meet its own requirements. However, it is not enough to look at security purely from the perspective of individual components. To provide security for the overall solution you must also consider how the components interact. And more details can be found here. Try to answer the following questions:

·          Compare and contrast the authorization and authentication mechanisms available for use in your Web application.

·          Identify gatekeepers and gates that you can use to enforce trust boundaries in your application.

·          Understand which security features are provided by each of the implementation technologies used to build .NET Web applications, and how they work together.
