🚀 Building a Secure & Scalable Airport Management System
I’m currently developing a full-stack Airport Management System using React.js, Node.js (Express), and MySQL, with a strong emphasis on security, role-based access control (RBAC), real-time communication, and scalable system architecture. This project is designed to simulate real-world airport operations by integrating multiple departments into a single secure platform.
✈️ Project Overview
The system brings together key airport departments:
Administration
Operations
Ground Staff
Passenger Services
Safety & Security
Reporting
Each module is protected using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), ensuring users can only access features permitted by their assigned roles, following the principle of least privilege.
🔐 Authentication & Authorization
Google Single Sign-On (OAuth 2.0)
Automatic user creation on first login
Role-based access validation at UI, API, and WebSocket levels
Two-step verification using OTP for enhanced security
🧾 Ticket Booking System (MySQL Persistence)
Ticket bookings are permanently stored in a MySQL database
Booking data persists across page refresh, logout, and server restarts
Passenger and Admin dashboards fetch data directly from the database
Supports PDF ticket generation using stored booking details
✈️ Live Flight Streaming (WebSockets)
Real-time updates for arrivals, departures, delays, and gate changes
Secure WebSocket authentication using tokens
Role-specific live dashboards and instant alerts
🤖 Role-Based Chatbot
Integrated chatbot within the dashboard
Provides role-aware responses and limited command execution
Backend validation prevents unauthorized or privileged actions
☁️ Cloud Storage
Secure storage for system logs, reports, and audit trails
Role-based access to stored resources
Designed for future analytics and reporting extensions
🛠 Tech Stack
