k4 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hey all, I'm in the process of developing a PHP login system for the website of a team I'm involved with. I have a MySQL database already set up to hold user data, but I lack the knowledge to create a respectably secure login system. I tend to be a tad obsessive when it comes to security, and seeing different systems being implemented on various tutorials that cover this topic makes me cynical of the integrity of any of them. So, my question is: how can I create a secure login system that isn't too complex in implementation? Are there any reliable tutorials for this? Would some sort of system that uses session variables be what I'm looking for? I don't require excessive security, but privelidges gained if this system is compromised would be no small matter. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplexus Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 some great info here: http://phpsec.org/articles/2005/password-hashing.html and here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-php-encrypt/ although the second one is a bit out of date, it had great concept coverage.
