whitepaper Build Robust Security Into a Rails-Based Wiki System2007-06-27 JupiterMedia
  One of the core advantages of wiki systems is the ability to edit web pages stored on a server through a web browser. However, this function also allows administrators to look at the contents of one's wiki pages, particularly if one's wiki uses a shared server. If one stores confidential information on that server, this is an especially undesirable compromise. A simple solution to this dilemma is to store the web pages in an encrypted form and use authentication to access them in a readable form.

whitepaper How to Configure OpenLDAP for the AXIGEN Mail Server2007-05-18 GECAD TECHNOLOGIES
  LDAP stands for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. This protocol is used to access a directory listing. It is being implemented in Web browsers and e-mail programs to enable lookup queries (searches for certain types of information). When compared to other querying architectures such as SQL databases, lookup speed is the major advantage of using LDAP. In large companies, a huge number of requests are made and storing the information in a database becomes a very resource consuming approach. The basic principle behind LDAP is the optimization toward many record reads and few additions or modifications. From an administrator's point of view, LDAP is fairly easy to use as long as the concepts behind the system are understood.

whitepaper CSurf: A Context-Driven Non-Visual Web-Browser2007-05-12 Association for Computing Machinery
  Web sites are designed for graphical mode of interaction. Sighted users can "Cut to the chase" and quickly identify relevant information in Web pages. On the contrary, individuals with visual disabilities have to use screen-readers to browse the Web. As screen-readers process pages sequentially and read through everything, Web browsing can become strenuous and time-consuming. Although, the use of shortcuts and searching offers some improvements, the problem still remains. This paper addresses the problem of information overload in non-visual Web access using the notion of context. The prototype system, CSurf, embodying the approach, provides the usual features of a screen-reader.

whitepaper Extensible Web Browser Security2007-04-29 University of Illinois
  This paper examines the security issues in functionality extension mechanisms supported by web browsers. Extensions (or "Plug-ins") in modern web browsers enjoy unlimited power without restraint and thus are attractive vectors for malware. To solidify the claim, the paper takes on the role of malware writers looking to assume control of a user's browser space. The paper has taken advantage of the lack of security mechanisms for browser extensions and have implemented a piece of malware for the popular Firefox web browser, which is called BROWSERSPY, that requires no special privileges to be installed. Once installed, BROWSERSPY takes complete control of a user's browser space and can observe all the activity performed through the browser while being undetectable.
