Design and Implementation of a Secure Database

Undergraduate #226
Discipline: Computer Sciences and Information Management
Subcategory: Computer Science & Information Systems

Maalik Hornbuckle - Howard University
Co-Author(s): Shenick Alcine



In this project we intend to design and implement a secure database structure which will serve in the collation of data obtained from a rural weather station and the activities of the local farmers. Such data, if well exploited by policy makers will help increase crop production in developing countries such as Cameroon. At the conclusion of the project our database will populate with information directly from the server, then posted onto an extensive weather web application completed with relative weather visuals. The project will employ concepts in Java programming and cryptography in the design. Hence, students will make use of firewall concepts and the use of the API (Application Programming Interface) for encryption in Java in the implementation and design of the secure database structure using data from a weather station on the university campus. Finally, the students will construct a web application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript methods to allow access to our gathered data.
