I am in the final stages of implementing the CodeIgniter website, which requires a really simple login system. One user and one password to protect the administration area. I think that I will use one of the many CodeIgniter authentication libraries, which should allow me to ensure that people cannot read from the database without being registered as an administrator (hopefully). Are there any bright holes in this design? Should I take additional measures, besides using such a library, to ensure data security in the MySQL database? It will be hosted on a shared server; which means little or no server configuration.
