mitigate this risk. Provide a basic code example (using prepared statements) to demonstrate this
concept. (3 Marks)
2. Discuss the role of secure password hashing techniques in web applications. Briefly compare two
common hashing algorithms used with PHP and their security advantages. (3 Marks)
3. Describe the role of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Javascript in web development. How can
these technologies potentially introduce security vulnerabilities? (2 Marks)

Section C: Scenario-Based Design (20 marks)

A. Given the following web page:

Welcome to my FCFA To EURO converter

FCFA EURO
=

1. Write the corresponding HTML code of this page knowing that the title of the page is HTML-CSS-
JAVASCRIPT 3 marks
2. Write a CSS code to specify the background color of the body to red, the font-family to Time new

 3. Write a javascript that you will insert in the previous web page to perform the conversion from FCFA
to EURO when clicking on the button “=”. (Note that 1 EURO=656 FCFA) (5 marks)
B. You are tasked with designing a secure web application for a local library. The application will allow
users to search for books, manage their library accounts, and renew book loans online.

Instructions:

Using the scenario above, answer the following questions:

1. Identify three key security considerations you would prioritize during the design phase of the library
web application. Explain your reasoning. (3 Marks)
2. What web development tools would you recommend for this project and why? (3 Marks)
3. Design a simple login form for the library web application. Include essential security features such as
input validation and secure password storage. (4 Marks)
