Designing Secure Web Application using J2EE Security Patterns

Today your website is your brand, your business backbone and often your first contact with your customers. If it’s not safe & secure, those critical business relationships can be compromised. A single security breach could be a finished a small business. Security Pattern described a recurring problem that arises in specific context, and it presents a well proven generic solution. During past few years developing secure application using security design pattern is popular area in the field of security. The role of security pattern is fulfilling security requirement and provide well-structured solution for security vulnerabilities. Providing end to end security using j2ee security pattern is differ from traditional infrastructure security design pattern in term of addressing security requirement, mitigating security risks, securing business object and data across logical tires, securing communication and protection the application from unauthorized threats and vulnerabilities. Our approach is to find a j2ee security pattern as a countermeasure to vulnerability. This is the way of providing link between security expertise and software developers to apply security knowledge in software development practice. Security should be considered throughout each stage of software development process to develop secure application [2]. This security engineering approach restricted due to complexity and diffusion of today security knowledge so it is still difficult to integrate security into software development process [9]. In this paper approach for ‘designing secure web application using j2ee security pattern’ is presented which Aim find threat and security requirements of web application and use j2ee security pattern to mitigate vulnerability. So that developer can be specify the threats and vulnerabilities in web application during early stage of development, and then it can be solve using the j2ee security pattern.
