TopSecret has built to keep your pages away of unauthorized eyes. To see a protected page, an user should know the login/password combination.

It runs in Linux boxes and in Windows when PHP is installed as a service. It will not run when PHP is installed as CGI (the most commom installation in Windows). TopSecret uses a MySQL database to store the user/password data.

TopSecret works entirely based on the HTTP authentication provided by PHP 3 and 4. So, TopSecret is a primary security program. Don't use it to protect sensitive data, like financial or enterprise ones. It this does not provide a 100% secureness site (if this is possible...).

Simple

You can get it up and running just creating the database and setting your choices in the config file. Notwithstanding, detailed instructions and example files are included.

 

Secure

The protected files could be viewed only by users who know the correct user/password pair. Once TopSecret uses a database to store data, you can set as much users as you need.

 

Friendly

To protect a file, just insert the <?php require "topsecret.php" ?> command in the first line of the file. Of course, the file to be protected should have the .php extension.

 

and more...

As an open source program, the code is entirely documented, so you can learn with it.
