  • Abstract
    Web applications are an important target for security attacks. Most of these applications make use of cookies to maintain user state. Many attacks are carried out over these cookies in order to compromise network security. In this paper, we propose an architecture and a method of cookies security. This method aims to enforce cookies with integrity and confidentiality services. It was necessary to review the behavior of Reverse Proxy in order to apply these contributions. The approach has been quantitatively and qualitatively validated. The results of this validation are analyzed in this article.
