Step-by-Step Implementation:
- User Authentication System (Auth/UserAuth.java) Create a UserAuth class that handles registration and login. Store hashed passwords using bcrypt or SHA-256, with salt.
- RSA Key Exchange (Crypto/RSAUtil.java) Generate a public-private key pair using the KeyPairGenerator class. Use the public key to encrypt the AES key, which will be used for the session.
- AES Encryption (Crypto/AESUtil.java) Encrypt data with AES using a shared secret key. Decrypt it on the other side using the same key.
- SQL Injection Protection (Security/InputSanitization.java) Use prepared statements with JDBC to interact with the database securely. Implement input validation to remove malicious characters.
- MITM Protection (Security/MITMProtection.java) Implement digital signatures to ensure data integrity and authenticity.
Tools and Libraries: Java Cryptography Extension (JCE): For implementing RSA and AES. BCrypt/SHA-256: For password hashing. JDBC: For secure database interactions, with prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. Log4j: For logging security events. JUnit: For writing unit tests for all major components.
