Security, privacy, trust and abuse

Today’s Web is about connecting people and amplifying the power of working together. The mixing of technology and social interaction is occurring in the context of a wave of technologies supporting rapid development of these interpersonal and business interactions. Â However, there are issues with respect to management of identities, reputation, privacy, anonymity, transient and long term relationships, and composition of function and content, both on the server side and at the client (web browser).

  • Content filtering: spam, porn, viruses, etc.
  • Authentication, authorization, and auditing on the web
  • Content protection and abuse on the web (web/blog spam, etc.)
  • Access control and rights management
  • Malware defense on resource-constrained devices
  • Fine-grained sharing, access control, privacy, security
  • Privacy-enhancing technologies, including anonymity, pseudonymity and identity management, specifically for the web
  • Dealing with client-side risks
  • Denial of service attacks against Web systems and counter-measures
  • Anomaly detection and monitoring
  • Security for new web services (blogs, web feed, wikis, social networks, etc.)
  • Applications of cryptography to the web, including PKI and supporting concepts like digital signatures, certification, etc.
  • Security in electronic commerce, particularly security mechanisms for e-cash, auctions, payment, and fraud detection
  • Security and privacy issues in search, advertising, and mining of the Web and social networks
