This project was built in the context of the Network and Computer Security course at IST.
TheCork is a service that allows its users to make restaurant reservations via a mobile application and website that integrates seamlessly with the restaurants' calendars.
Customers can see which restaurants are available and book a table in a mobile app. They can also do these commands on a website. Restaurants also have a platform where they can manage their schedule and approve or deny clients’ reservations.
The system also has a discount card service provider, that allows customers to use their card points in order to have discounts in their bookings.
This section expands on the introductory paragraph to give readers a better understanding of your project. Include a brief description and answer the question, "what problem does this project solve?"
For this project we used the following technologies:
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
Follow the installation guide
The home page of the platform contains the users' reservations and the available restaurants sorted by distance.
If a user selects a restaurant, they can check out the avalability schedule and make a reservation on an available time slot. With each reservation, users earn points which they can trade for restaurant discounts associated with the reservation.
There is aditionally a backoffice page available to users with the role of admin where it is possible to update the schedule, as well as see the upcoming reservations, which they can choose to accept or decline.
If you are deploying to a live system (e.g. a host or a cloud provider), you should follow the installation guide ignoring the steps related to virtual machines.
The provided SSL certificates are self-signed and are only meant for a development environment. In production, they should be replaced with new certificates, signed by a trusted CA.
Additionally, all the endpoints need to be replaced in the .env files, along with the secret tokens.
Furthermore, if the databases were to be deployed on separate machines, SSL should be enabled in the configuration in order to ensure secure communication.
