Title: Secure Socket Layer Protocol Simulation

Study Area Review: The complete study is based on network security and its importance over socket layer applications.

Aims:  To design a simulation model that describes the implementation mechanism of Secure Socket Layer Protocol and simulation of the protocol.

Objectives:  This application has the following objectives

• To evaluate the security and performance of an application with implementation of Secure Socket Layer Protocol
• Developing a model and simulating the protocol at different test conditions and thus recording the outputs with the SSL.

• Provide Privacy and Data integrity between two communicating applications
• To evaluate Cryptographic security and Interoperability 

Deliverables:   This application delivers the following

• Working simulation model of SSL
• Secure web application with implementation of SSL
• Prototype that calculate the efficiency of the data transfer across the web application 

Project Type: 

This is a web application, where the communication and data transfer occurs with in a web server and browser.

 Professional Project Claim 

This project emphasises design and evaluates a web-based system using appropriate processes and tools, as follows 

J2sdk1.4, Netbeans or Edit plus, Pentium processor to execute the operations. 

My product will exhibit the attributes of quality, reliability, timeliness and maintainability in the following ways 

• Proper project plan is being prepared to enable the application to follow strict timelines
• I am following standard templates while preparing the documentation to ensure the quality of document and literature review
• All the java coding standards and best practices are being implemented to ensure the quality of coding done
• Prototype software model is being developed to check the reliability of the application
• Multiple levels of testing will be done to deliver the quality product 

Research Methodology: 

Both qualitative and quantitative approaches are followed as a part of research methodology. Initial phases the entire project and its planning is done with the help of qualitative approaches. Further evaluation and simulation modelling is done based on the quantitative approach.
