Secure API Enhancement for Sensitive Data Transmission
Cross-Checks Background Reporting Inc. is seeking to enhance the security of its backend API system, which handles sensitive data transmission. The project focuses on developing a robust security architecture to protect user data and ensure compliance with industry standards. Key objectives include implementing a robust authentication and authorization system with role-based access control to limit user permissions. Additionally, the project aims to ensure data encryption both at rest and in transit, and to perform input validation and sanitization for user forms. Learners will research and recommend tools and methods for securing API designs, as well as establish logging and monitoring mechanisms. The ultimate goal is to create a comprehensive security architecture and compile a detailed report for the organization.
AI-Powered Health Advisor Integration and/ or WordPress Website enhancement
HAPPY NUTRITION aims to enhance its Health Academy site by integrating a Large Language Model (LLM) to provide personalized health advice and nutrition tips. The project involves creating a dedicated page on the website where users can interact with the AI to receive tailored recommendations based on their dietary preferences and health goals. The goal is to offer an engaging and informative user experience that leverages AI technology to support users in making healthier lifestyle choices. The project will require learners to apply their knowledge of web development, AI integration, and user interface design.
