For example, Fa-cebook is created using PHP, and it is proven that it has lower security aspects than .NET framework. However, my proposed system will be developed by .NET frame-work which has own security mechanism such as Code Access Security (CAS).Moreover, it uses AppDomains for separating codes that will add an outstand-ing security of the system [13]. 3.
