Cyber Security Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of API Authorisation Regression Suite

This Cyber Security final year project investigates detecting accidental access to another synthetic user's records using authorised, synthetic or consented evidence within a defined defensive study.

Why choose this project topic?

A focused investigation of detecting accidental access to another synthetic user's records makes security assumptions visible and testable. The project can use cross-user access failures, test coverage and execution time to explain both the value of the proposed control and the situations where it remains insufficient.

How effectively does api authorisation regression suite address detecting accidental access to another synthetic user's records, assessed through cross-user access failures, test coverage and execution time?

Agree the owned test environment, threat assumptions and assessment criteria with your supervisor; keep the scope focused on detecting accidental access to another synthetic user's records.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the assets, trust boundaries and evidence relevant to detecting accidental access to another synthetic user's records.
  2. 02Create a local API with fictional tenants, specify expected object access and automate allowed and denied requests after controlled code changes.
  3. 03Evaluate cross-user access failures, test coverage and execution time and document residual limitations.

A suggested research approach

Create a local API with fictional tenants, specify expected object access and automate allowed and denied requests after controlled code changes. Agree the authorisation and data-handling boundaries before any collection. Record the baseline, expected outcomes and reproducible test conditions, then analyse cross-user access failures, test coverage and execution time without treating a successful demonstration as proof of complete protection.

What you will need

  • Owned API prototype
  • Synthetic tenant records
  • Permission test matrix

Keep your project scope clear

Do not test third-party APIs or use real customer identifiers in the experiment.
