Web Application Security in Network Data Services using VPN

This proposal aims to find out and analyze the security issues of the web application in network data services while using VPN. The primary objective of this research is to find the mitigating process of the threats that prevails while using VPN for the web application in network data services. The methodology that will be followed for this proposal is a self-administered closed ended survey. Along with that recent literature research on the subject of the project will be done as well.

1. Introduction Background
Information,
Issues and
Current
Solutions
Network Data Services is provision of a network access to the users without considering
their geographic location. A web application is a service that is available over the
Internet and anybody can have the access to it. Hence, there always comes a scene of
security issues for the user using the application services. Such instances could be
recovered with the usage of VPN that would use a data encryption method, which will
hide all the transferring of data between the receiver and sender.
Shortcomings/
limitations in
the current
/existing
solutions
Many users are still not in the side of using VPN as usage of VPN also compromises
security in case if it is a free one. In addition to it, jurisdictional issues are one of the
common instances. IP logging, traffic restrictions and issues with the speed of the
network are some of the few vulnerabilities that can be experienced with the usage of
VPN.
Importance of
solving this
problem
The importance of solving this problem with the usage of VPN because once the threats
could be managed and prevented from taking place, usage of VPN will surely increase
and security issues while being over the internet for using the web applications will be
minimized to an extent. Organisations can move themselves out of the load of
mandatory storage and can enjoy the services, which will bring efficiency in work with a
reduction in the consumption of time.
2. The Main
objective and
purpose of this
research
The primary objective of this research is to find the mitigating process of the threats that prevails while
using VPN for the web application in network data services.
In addition to it, the secondary objective of this paper is to analyse the usage of VPN by users for availing
security while being over the internet. This approach would surely emphasize all possible security issues
and their solutions.
3. Questions need
to be answered
What kind of data needs to be collected?
The data that would be collected would be primary in nature in which surveys will be conducted to a
random sample of users who uses the platform of web application services

Which data is needed: Structural or functional? Why?
Both structural and functional data is required as until and unless the structure gets modified, there would
be no functional modifications taking place within the system.
What data is available in the area of your research?
The data that will be available for the research is the direct feedbacks of the users that will be collected by
the survey.
How can data be effectively merged and visualised?
Simple statistical measures and functions would be used for the visualisation of the data. The merging will
be done by categorical division of the data that will be collected.
4. A Brief
Description of Your
Proposal
This proposal aims to find out and analyse the security issues of the web application in network data
services while using VPN. Thereafter this proposal will try to find the mitigation procedures and the process
of application of such procedures.
5. The Process or
Methodology of
Your Project
The methodology that will be followed for this proposal is a self-administered closed ended survey. Along
with that recent literature research on the subject of the project will be done as well.
5. Expected
Outcomes
The outcome that is expected from this project is to find all the security issues that arises while using VPN
and the solutions for the issues or threats. Besides, it will be researched that whether any other solutions
could be found for the issues that takes place when using the web application over the network data
services.
