Security is a very important aspect for web service technology. Many people find the idea of creating security metrics to be a daunting task. Secure web service discovery aims at finding the best component services that satisfy the end-to-end security requirements between service consumer and service provider. The term "metrics or criteria" refers to specific objectives that have defined securi...

Security indicators in web browsers alert users to the presence of a secure connection between their computer and a web server; many studies have shown that such indicators are largely ignored by users in general. In other areas of computer security, research has shown that technical expertise can decrease user susceptibility to attacks. In this work, we examine whether computer or security exp...

Purpose – Automated composition of semantic web services has become one of the recent critical issues in today’s web environment. Despite the importance of artificial intelligence (AI)-planning techniques for web service composition, previous works in that area do not address security issues, which is the focus of this paper. The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach to achieve securi...

Web application security remains a major roadblock to universal acceptance of the Web for many kinds of online transactions, especially since the recent sharp increase in remotely exploitable vulnerabilities has been attributed to Web application bugs. In software engineering, software testing is an established and well-researched process for improving software quality. Recently formal verifica...

Web 2.0 systems have drawn the attention of corporation, many of which now seek to adopt Web 2.0 technologies and transfer its benefits to their organizations. However, with the number of different social networking platforms appearing, privacy and security continuously has to be taken into account and looked at from different perspectives. This paper presents the most common security risks fac...

Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) can be used to enhance developing and maintaining web applications. Furthermore, security plays a crucial role in the area of web applications. A seamless integration of access control and modeling web applications becomes important. This work introduces model-driven integration of security concerns into the development life cycle of web applications. In...

Web sites are major sources of information today and Internet is dominating platform for deployment of various applications built for worldwide audience. Modern Content Management Systems (CMS) play major role in that situation since they enable technical users to build various standard and custom web applications but they also enable non-technical users to build various web sites and applicati...

Security providing devices that are used to protect against multiple threats like man-in-the-middle attack and phishing are known as ―security keys‖. With the help of security keys, user can register himself with any kind of online services that works with this protocol. If we install these security keys in some devices, deployment, implementation and use becomes very easy. We can also see the ...

In the last few years, the popularity of web-based applications has grown tremendously. A number of factors have led an increasing number of organizations and individuals to rely on web-based applications to provide access to a variety of services. Today, web-based applications are routinely used in securitycritical environments, such as medical, financial, and military systems. Web-based syste...

Web applications security is one of the most daunting tasks today, because of security shift from lower levels of ISO OSI model to application level, and because of current situation in IT environment. ASP.NET offers powerful mechanisms to render these attacks futile, but it requires some knowledge of implementing Web application security. This paper focuses on attacks against Web applications,...
