As the Web has grown to be an essential part of our lives, the notion of trust between its users has become paramount. Security and privacy guarantees are indeed fundamental to the successful conduct of most web transactions; at the same time, the sheer success of web-based transactions and services have made them a ripe target for abuse by hostile parties.
This track offers a forum to discuss the notions of trust and abuse on the Web, and to present advances in research in security and privacy technologies for the Web.
