This book describes three approaches for the security of web applications related to the current trends and threats imposed on web applications. The first method is multi-factor authentication by dynamic questions in web-based applications. This is a multi-level authentication strategy which is used to protect the accessibility of the server-side scripts by the unauthorized users. This method protects the web application as well as its users from a wide range of cross-site server scripts and attacks. Second method is session management on the server side. The server will prepare a script which will monitor the login user patterns. The server-side script is used to monitor the time. If the system detects any suspicious activity on the client side, the server-side script will get activated and prompt the users to go through another level of authentication check. The third method is a prevention mechanism for Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack. If the user visits a virus website, at this time, because the virus website cannot obtain the value of the third-party cookie, cannot hash this random number, it will be verified by the server and filtered out.

One of the most important systems in modern agriculture today is sustainable agriculture. In sustainable agriculture, the stability of performance in the long term with minimal impact on the environment is emphasized. The main goal of sustainable agriculture, which is a necessity for human life, is to reduce consumption inputs, increase the internal cycle of soil nutrients by reducing tillage and using biological fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers in order to increase the yield of crops and produce more food. In order to have optimal growth, plants must have enough and balanced food available. Soil contains natural sources of nutrients for plants, but most of these resources are inaccessible to plants and every year only a small part of them is released through biological activities and chemical processes. Therefore, fertilizers should be added to the soil as food supplements.
