Security

For every program that has access to network resources security is a key concern. Atomsnet has been created as an easy to use program, meaning that configuration of the system is largely unnecessary. Therefore no human errors can make the system less secure (aside from the possibly needed firewall configuration discussed in the previous section).

The simplicity of the application is the strongest advantage of the atomsnet application. Since external users are only allowed basically four actions and by default denied others I believe the system to be very secure. All actions allowed use the HTTP GET protocol. Any other network requests are automatically declined. All requests result in read-only operations. I will now deal with safety regarding each allowed action.
