        abstract = {This paper presents a Secure Smart Parking Management System implemented as a lightweight academic web prototype. The system uses Python Flask for request handling, SQLite for persistence, and HTML/CSS templates for the user interface. Its functional scope includes account registration, authentication, parking-slot display, booking creation, booking cancellation, administrator functions, and activity logging. The design treats foundational web-application security as a core requirement through password hashing, server-side validation, parameterized database queries, session protection, and role-based access checks. The project owner has confirmed that the application starts locally and that registration, login, and dashboard access work in the available prototype. This paper does not convert implementation evidence into unmeasured claims: booking, cancellation, administrative authorization, performance, and adversarial-security outcomes require separately recorded runtime tests. The work therefore contributes a feasible, security-oriented parking workflow for academic demonstration and establishes a reproducible evaluation plan for future extension.},
