So I’m making a app for a bank, but it doesnt manage very important

  • 0

So I’m making a app for a bank, but it doesnt manage very important data. I have two problems, it will run over a VERY large LAN network protected by all kinds of security(antivirus and firewalls) and the bandwidth in certain regions is as low as 56kbps.(Its a desktop app with a web server backend connected by web services)

From the security point of view all I want is to prevent someone from executing the web services from some other source or app results in change in the database . I’m thinking of each desktop app installed with a install code, this will be hashed and required as a parameter for every function call and will act as an authentication ticket? Is this good enough? Are they better SIMPLER means?

For performance, how do I measure or know if the web service will send and receive data at a decent rate?

Thanks

Gideon

    Assuming you are on a windows domain. You could configure the server to use windows authentication and restrict the users which can access the web service.

    For performance measuring – asp.net will show you a sample request and response if you hit the web service from a browser, you can work out the site of a message and use the bandwidth to calculate how long it should take. You could also call the web service and use the stopwatch class to measure the time it takes.
