Hi Everyone, I'm doing a project for a client and they want to employ some kind of security mechanism that will allow a customer can have access to their content but not their competitors, meaning:
* They have information that resides in a text based database. * A customer can search for the information through a web form. The information is returned based on a match of the zip code from the web form. * They don't want competitors to get this information since it is their intellectual property. Currently, a session is set and a servlet makes sure that no one tries to retrieve information via the web form more than 3 times. The problem is that someone can close and reopen a browser and start over. I'm also thinking that a semi smart programmer could bypass the whole browser and do it programmatically anyway. Security is new to me, and I'm looking for suggestions on how to solve this. Can someone suggest some general ideas, a book, or something to get me started? I would surely appreciate it. Thanks! -Brian Menke --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
