Introduction

ASP are primarily used by Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) to generate web pages that the client can use to interact with the IIS. Interaction can vary from inputting and viewing personal data to making business purchases involving the transaction of credit information and order information. In each case, these interactions involve the transaction of client/server information over remote connections where they're potential exposed to outside interference (corrupt connections, hackers, etc).

As a powerful web-based solution, ASP employs a range of security techniques to remove (at worst greatly minimise) the potential threat posed by remote transactions. For this report we will review the current security techniques available to ASP and discuss future developments in ASP security.
