Abstract:
“In today's computerized world, secure and well-organized document management
has become a critical necessity for businesses. Inadequate access control, the lack of
adequate role-based restriction, and a lack of transparent monitoring of activity pose
significant operational as well as security risks. To avoid these problems, CryptiDocs was
designed as a safe web document management system utilizing Role-Based Access Control
(RBAC), JSON Web Token (JWT)-based authentication, and activity logs to enable
appropriate data handling, user accountability, and system integrity.”
This personal report outlines my specific contributions as the backend programmer
of CryptiDocs. My responsibilities were developing the core server-side framework using
Node.js and Express.js, developing RESTful APIs to handle documents, performing secure
uploads of files, and handling user authentication and authorization logic. I also deployed
RBAC through custom middleware.
This is a documentation of the development process, backend architecture, results
of implementation, and problems encountered along the way in the project. The report also
highlights the pragmatic skills obtained in creating scalable, secure, and well-documented
backend systems. CryptiDocs was a reliable solution to secure document handling, besides
good hands-on experience with backend systems and integration.
