Abstract:

The increasing dependence on online file shar-

ing and remote data access has heightened the importance


of developing secure mechanisms to safeguard digital


information. Traditional file storage systems and cloud-


based services often rely on centralized infrastructures


that expose sensitive data to potential threats such as


unauthorized access, data tampering, and insider misuse.


To address these limitations, this paper presents the design


and implementation of a Secure File Access System (SFAS)


developed using open-source web technologies, including


HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the client interface, and


Node.js with Express.js for the backend server.


The proposed system provides users with secure, au-


thenticated access to files using AES-256 encryption, JSON


Web Token (JWT)–based authentication, and Role-Based


Access Control (RBAC). The backend architecture employs


an event-driven model to handle concurrent requests


efficiently, while the logging and auditing module records


all user activities for accountability and forensic analysis.


Experimental evaluation (fictional) was conducted to


assess the system’s performance in terms of encryption


overhead, authentication speed, and security resilience.


Results indicate an average upload latency of 750 ms and a


93% reduction in unauthorized access attempts compared


to standard unencrypted storage. The results demonstrate


that the Secure File Access System achieves a balanced


trade-off between performance, confidentiality, and user


accessibility, making it a suitable framework for small-


scale organizations and educational institutions requiring


lightweight, secure file management solutions.
