The study outlines a number of security requirements that is typical of a host of Web-based applications using a case study of a real life online Web-based customer support system. It subsequently proposes a security solution that employs a combination of Web server security measures and cryptographic techniques. The Web server security measures include the formulation and implementation of a p...

The seminar had a well-filled program, with 3 keynotes, 28 research talks, and 15 5-minute talks. As web application security is a broad research domain, a dive...

Evidence-based medicine is now generally perceived to be the dominant operating system in conventional medicine. Evidence-based medicine developed concurrently with the internet and the world wide web. This is no coincidence since evidence-based medicine suggests a personal responsibility for clinicians to keep abreast of research that would be difficult without the information access that the ...

The paper is concerned with the role of international outsourcing and import penetration for determining individual perceived job security. Combining industry-level outsourcing and trade measures with micro-level data from a large household panel survey, we estimate a number of conditional logit models accounting for the ordinal nature of reported job loss fears and individual unobserved hetero...

Web services may be able to publish easily their functions to the rest of the web world. At the same time they suffer by several security pitfalls. Currently, there is limited research on how the proposed web-services security countermeasures affect performance and applicability. In this paper, we introduce the threats/attacks vs. web-services authentication, present the most widely used securi...

There are numerous crucial factors that serve as a motivation to emphasize on security predicament in web engineering. These are broadly categorized as economic issues, people issues and legislative issues. Security has become the most critical matter of concern in today’s extremely complicated, web empowered, superfast information rich business environment. This paper presents the idea that an...

This paper examines the use of Internet banking systems and several critical factors related to Internet banking services. The analysis suggests that the constructs tested considerably explain the variation in customer interactions. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are important in facilitating customer interactions. Perceived security, responsiveness and convenience also represen...

While in its early days, the Web was mostly static, it has organically grown into a full-fledged technology stack. This evolution has not followed a security blueprint, resulting in many classes of vulnerabilities specific to the Web. Even though the server-side code of the past has long since vanished, the Internet Archive gives us a unique view on the historical development of the Web’s clien...
