On the other hand, it’s this same open access that makes databases vulnerable to many kinds of malicious activity. This article refers how to protect the users password using JAVA cryptography, such as message digest and message signature. The recent expansion in communication and data distribution networks has resulted in a range of new security threats. The Internet architecture generates new threats, new problems that have to solve.
