Using Layout Information to Enhance Security on the Web

From Anita Borg Institute Wiki

Presenter: Terri Oda (Carleton University)

Web security lies primarily in the hands of those who create the pages. Unfortunately many people and organizations that run web sites do not have the time, security knowledge, or motivation to produce secure sites. As a result, users are frequently exposed to insecure pages. My research investigates ways to protect users using existing information from the page layout to produce good security policy without requiring an expert.
