Security protocol architecture for website authentications and content integrity

With the spread of the internet and networks, more people are relying on information sharing to research any subject. The number of Websites that are providing information on a single subject is huge. Some subjects and issues are somehow more sensitive to some people than others. However, there is no agreed upon mechanism for authenticating the content provider Web sites or preserving the integrity of its contents. One aim of this paper is to develop frame work architecture protocol for Web site content authentication to build a trusted Web sites directory called Islamic trust (ITRUST). We cannot treat all documents with the same measure of security. Another aim is to solely focus on the data integrity rather than intellectual property rights and to provide different documents with different security levels. The proposed protocol we will employ public key infrastructure (PKI) and Digital Certificates (DC) for Website authentication and watermarking techniques for document integrity.
