Software Security Technologies - Security Feature Programming Exercise

Introduction

This is a team homework. Please form a team of no more than 3 persons. Your team, the accredited security experts, is hired to implement a secure file transfer mechanism for Company X. People in Company X love to perform file transfer using C/C++, Java and Perl.

Requirements

The following is a list of requirements for the file transfer mechanism:

• All communication must use SSL.
• The mechanism must be implemented in C/C++, Java and Perl. Thus, you can use your Perl implementation to transfer a file using SSL to your Java implementation or your C implementation and versus visa.
• Decide as a team on what protocol to use.
• Decide as a team on whether to use a client / server model or some other models.
