New to This Edition
The third edition of this book reflects the changes taking place on the internet, and in web applications and cloud computing. Most of these changes are technology driven, but a fair amount of them are the result of user and developer experience and the knowledge gained from it. In addition, the applicable security standards and guidelines that are also emerging, or advancing, are discussed when relevant to the area to which they apply. In each case, these changes and their impacts are explored.
This edition maintains the focus on web security but expands on its inclusion in the design, development, and application to webpages, applications, and services. The role of the user and his or her importance to the design and functionality of these web elements has also been emphasized.
Audience
The material is suitable for undergraduate or graduate computer science majors or information science majors, or students at a two-year technical college or community college who have a basic technical background, or readers who have a basic understanding of IT security and want to expand their knowledge.
