That way users from all different corners of the world can access the data, so it is extremely important to properly protect them. To achieve satisfying security level few layers of protection should be implemented. First there is server security or limited access to data stored on the server. Then there is user-authentication security, and finally session security, which ensure that data is not intercepted as it is broadcast over the Internet.
