I have a question concerning web technologies. As I am working with a LAMP (Linux, Apache,MySql, PHP) Webserver, I am confronted with a new project, that demands a real secure web area for file exchange and forms data transmission.
If I am really in demand of a good and secure web basesd communication system, which development environment would I choose ? If I take all necessary security preparations into consideration can I still rely on PHP/mySql or should I use somewhat JSP/Servlet like (which a lot of e-banking accounts are in favour of)? PHP would offer some good development by Pear Modules, whereas JSP offers a Struts Framework which makes use of the MVC(3-tier Model View Controll) Model.
Does anyone have experience in sensitive data exchange on the web ? What technology do I use? What do I need besides SSL, and constant maintenance of the webserver,its components and its software ? Any recommandations or ressources on this topic ?
Thx a lot, Jakob
And of course I know there cannot be total security...
