Toward a More Secure Web

On behalf of the Quatro project, ICRA submitted a paper, that has now been accepted, for the forthcoming W3C Workshop Toward a More Secure Web. The Workshop aims to identify steps that can be taken to improve Web Security from the user-facing end of the spectrum: Practical security online often fails because users can be induced to make decisions that jeopardize their security and privacy, based on a lack of working authentication of Web sites’ identities (phishing). The workshop will look at technologies that can support Web users to better assess the trustworthiness and identity of sites with which they deal.
