Difference between revisions of "Web Site Identity"

Revision as of 20:38, 4 September 2018

The current manner in which a Web Site can be identified by a User is badly broken.

When Tim Berners-Lee created the world wide web the existing Universal Resource Locator (URL] already existed for machine-machine discovery.
No one expected that the Web would grow to the point where 5 year old children were getting URLs on kids TV.

The Web Site exposes its name in a manner that allows the user to make a meaningful trust decision.
Most browsers come with a feature that will evaluate any file downloaded to a computer based on a set of constantly updated filters installed in the cloud.

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a 501(c)(3) worldwide not-for-profit charitable organization focused on improving the security of web site software.
ISACs are member-driven organizations, delivering all-hazards threat and mitigation information to asset owners and operators.
