Fwd: Reading on security & the Web

Could be of interest to us.

Btw. Just reading "Beyond Fear" by Bruce Schneier which came out 2003
http://books.google.com/books?id=wuNImmQufGsC

It is a very entertaining book, with many good stories to help make the
points.
Here's an interesting paragraph from page 145 in the chapter "security
revolves
around people"

[[
Good security uses technology, but centers around people. Good security
systems are designed to maximise the value people can offer while at the
same time minimizing the vulnerabilities inherent in using them. People are
dynamic, and better able to react to new
threats and respond to new situations than technology is. They make certain
kinds of
mistakes more often than machines, but only people can change the way they
react as
an attack happens]]

Hello,

I've written up an introduction to security related to Web architecture at
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/02/security-web.html

I intend to discuss this at our upcoming meeting in the session on security.

Regards,

- John
