Cyber Security Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Secure Webhook Verification Prototype

This Cyber Security final year project investigates rejecting forged or repeated test notifications in an owned integration using authorised, synthetic or consented evidence within a defined defensive study.

Why choose this project topic?

A focused investigation of rejecting forged or repeated test notifications in an owned integration makes security assumptions visible and testable. The project can use invalid acceptance, duplicate effects and verification latency to explain both the value of the proposed control and the situations where it remains insufficient.

How effectively does secure webhook verification prototype address rejecting forged or repeated test notifications in an owned integration, assessed through invalid acceptance, duplicate effects and verification latency?

Agree the owned test environment, threat assumptions and assessment criteria with your supervisor; keep the scope focused on rejecting forged or repeated test notifications in an owned integration.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the assets, trust boundaries and evidence relevant to rejecting forged or repeated test notifications in an owned integration.
  2. 02Use established message authentication, create signed dummy events and test body modification, replay windows and duplicate delivery handling.
  3. 03Evaluate invalid acceptance, duplicate effects and verification latency and document residual limitations.

A suggested research approach

Use established message authentication, create signed dummy events and test body modification, replay windows and duplicate delivery handling. Agree the authorisation and data-handling boundaries before any collection. Record the baseline, expected outcomes and reproducible test conditions, then analyse invalid acceptance, duplicate effects and verification latency without treating a successful demonstration as proof of complete protection.

What you will need

  • Owned test endpoints
  • Dummy signed events
  • Controlled clock harness

Keep your project scope clear

Keep signing keys fictional and do not send experimental events to production integrations.
