SilkSecured: A Comprehensive Analysis of Security and Dependencies in China's Governmental Web Systems

Abstract The study "SilkSecured" delves into the practice of governmental web systems in China. It scrutinizes the security and dependency challenges besieging China's governmental web infrastructure, with an intent to unearth pivotal concerns and proffer enhancements. The inquiry reveals substantial vulnerabilities and dependencies that could impede the digital efficacy and safety of governmental web systems. To counter these identified frailties, "SilkSecured" presents a suite of strategic recommendations tailored to bolster the digital fortitude of China's governmental web infrastructure. It underscores the critical need for robust domain name resolution services to assure secure and reliable access to government websites. The study accentuates the necessity for stringent vetting and regular updates of third-party libraries, aiming to avert potential security threats. Furthermore, it advocates for an optimized deployment of web systems by advocating for a diversified distribution of network nodes, which could substantially augment system resilience and performance. Through this comprehensive analysis, "SilkSecured" aspires to serve as a beacon for governmental departments, championing the ongoing enhancement of security protocols within China's governmental web domains. This initiative is envisioned to fortify the digital infrastructure against the spectrum of evolving cyber threats, thus safeguarding the digital governance ecosystem in China. The recommendations provided aim to underpin the robustness and reliability of governmental web systems, ensuring their integrity in the digital era.
