User Authentication Method against SQL Injection Attack

The Internet and web applications are playing very important role in our today's modern day life. Most of the web applications use the database as a back end to store critical information. SQL injection attacks represent a serious threat to any database-driven site. The methods behind an attack are easy to learn and the damage caused can range from considerable to complete system compromise. Despite these risks an incredible number of systems on the internet are susceptible to this form of attack. Organizations are using a reactive approach towards these threats, instead of a proactive approach that would help avoiding them. In this paper, we propose a technique for user authentication to prevent SQLIAs by hashing and salting the user name and password.
