Project 5

A basic security system for a Laravel web application can be quickly set up by leveraging Laravel's built-in authentication and authorization features. Start by installing Laravel Breeze, which provides a simple authentication system out of the box, including user registration, login, and password reset functionality. By running migrations, Laravel automatically creates the necessary database tables for users and sessions. To implement role-based access control (RBAC), you can add a type field to the users table to distinguish between roles, such as 'admin' and 'user'. Middleware can then be used to restrict access to specific routes based on user roles. Laravel’s CSRF protection is enabled by default, ensuring that forms are protected from cross-site request forgery attacks. Additionally, password hashing and validation can be managed securely using Laravel's Hash facade and validation rules. These core security features, combined with database protection (using query builders and Eloquent ORM), provide a solid foundation for securing any Laravel web application
