1. Introduction: Login and Registration System in C++

`A.C.S.’S. DIPLOMA IN ENGG & TECH, ASHTI Page | 3

This C++ program serves as a basic login and registration system for a hypothetical website. The system
prompts users with a welcome message and gives them the option to register as new users or log in if
they already have an account.

Features:

1. User Registration:

- The program requests the user's first name, last name, email address, and password registration.

- Input validation ensures that the entered information meets certain criteria:

- First and last names must start with uppercase letters.

- Email addresses must follow a specific format and cannot start with a number or special character

- Passwords must meet length requirements and include at least one digit, one special character,
one uppercase letter, and one lowercase letter.

2. Verification Code:

- After successful registration, the program generates a verification code and prompts the user to enter it.

- This step simulates an email verification process often used to confirm user identities.

3. User Login:

- Users who already have accounts can choose to log in.

- The program requests the username and password for login.

Improvements and Considerations:

- The program emphasizes input validation to ensure that user-provided information is accurate
and secure.

- Code organization and modularization have been considered to enhance readability and

maintainability.

- The password complexity check can be further enhanced to enforce stronger security measures.

`A.C.S.’S. DIPLOMA IN ENGG & TECH, ASHTI Page | 4

- Error handling is implemented to address potential issues with user input.

Usage:

- Users interact with the program through the console, providing input as prompted.

- Successful registration and login messages are displayed upon completion of the respective
processes.

This program provides a foundational structure for a user authentication system and can serve as a
starting point for more advanced implementations with additional features and security measures.

2. Working of functions in program

Here is the functions and their working, which are going to use in our program:

`A.C.S.’S. DIPLOMA IN ENGG & TECH, ASHTI Page | 5

1. NewRegister() :

- This function handles the user registration process.

- It prompts the user to specify whether they are a new user or not.
- If the user is new, it collects and validates information such as first name, last name,
email, and password using helper functions (`validfirstname`, `validlastname`,
`validEmail`, `validpassword`).
- After successful registration, it calls the `verificationcode()` function for email
verification.
- If the user is not new, it prompts for login credentials.

2. validfirstname(string firstname) :

- Validates the user's first name.

- Checks if the first character is an uppercase letter.

3. validlastname(string lastname) :

- Validates the user's last name.

- Checks if the first character is an uppercase letter.

4. validEmail(string email) :

- Validates the user's email address.

- Checks if the email follows a specified format, contains one '@' and one '.', and does not start
with a number.

5. validpassword(string password) :

- Validates the user's password.

- Checks if the password meets length requirements and includes at least one digit, one special
character, one uppercase letter, and one lowercase letter.

6. verificationcode() :

- Simulates the email verification process.

- Generates a random verification code and displays it to the user.

`A.C.S.’S. DIPLOMA IN ENGG & TECH, ASHTI Page | 6

 - Prompts the user to enter the verification code.
- If the entered code matches the generated one, it indicates that the user's account has been
verified and calls the `Login()` function.

7. Login() :

- Handles the user login process.

- Prompts the user to enter their username and password.
- Displays a success message upon successful login.

8. main() :

- The entry point of the program.

- Displays a welcome message and initiates the registration process by calling `NewRegister()`.

Overall Flow :

- The program starts by welcoming the user and calling `NewRegister()` to handle registration or
login.
- During registration, the program collects user information, validates it, and performs email
verification.
- If the user is not new, the program prompts for login credentials.
- Successful registration or login results in a success message.

Note :

- The code emphasizes input validation to ensure that user-provided information is accurate and
secure.
- Error handling is implemented for potential issues with user input.
- The program simulates an email verification process for educational purposes, and in a real-
world scenario, this would involve external email services.

This program provides a basic foundation for user authentication, and further enhancements can
be made to meet specific application requirements and security standards.

3. Work and working of program

`A.C.S.’S. DIPLOMA IN ENGG & TECH, ASHTI Page | 7

1. User Account Persistence:

- Implement a mechanism to store user account information persistently, such as in a file or a simple
database.

- Allow the program to retrieve and use this stored information during subsequent runs.

2. Password Hashing:

- Enhance the security of the user passwords by implementing password hashing.

- Choose a secure hashing algorithm (e.g., SHA-256) and modify the registration and login processes
accordingly.

3. User Interface (UI) Development :

- Create a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for the program using a C++ GUI library like Qt or
SFML.

- Design screens for registration, login, and account verification.

4. Multi-User Support :

- Extend the program to support multiple user accounts.

- Implement user authentication based on stored account information.

5. Account Locking and Unlocking :

- Introduce a mechanism to lock user accounts after a certain number of failed login attempts.

- Implement a process to unlock accounts, perhaps through an email verification link.

6. Email Sending Simulation :

- Simulate an actual email sending process by integrating an email sending library (or API) to send
verification codes.

- Explore libraries like SendGrid or use local SMTP servers for testing.

`A.C.S.’S. DIPLOMA IN ENGG & TECH, ASHTI Page | 8

7. Enhanced Password Policies :

- Strengthen password policies by implementing more advanced rules (e.g., password expiration,
complexity requirements).

- Allow users to change their passwords after initial registration.

8. Security Audit and Vulnerability Assessment :

- Conduct a security audit of the program to identify potential vulnerabilities.

- Implement fixes or improvements based on the audit results.

9. User Session Management :

- Implement a basic user session management system.

- Expire user sessions after a certain period of inactivity.

10. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) :

- Integrate a simple two-factor authentication system.

- Explore methods like time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) for 2FA.

11. User Profile Management :

- Allow users to manage their profiles, such as updating personal information or changing profile
pictures.

- Implement a profile page where users can view and edit their details.
