摘要：In recent times, research has shown that industries adopt distributed database system to improve their operations such as real time data exchange via remote database access. Traditionally, application connection to database is established using the database information such as database name, username, and password and IP address of the database server over a network. Studies in the past have shown that a number of security threats come to play in this approach as the database is exposed on that network. Much work has been done to tackle those threats but the proposed solutions huge processing. In this research a web-service-based remote database access method is proposed reducing the security threats by avoiding direct access. Another advantage of this approach is that it is platform-independent. An experimental case study of Nigerian Universities Certificate Verification System was designed and implemented using the proposed methodology.
