Abstract

Everybody loves the new Web 2.0 applications. They are easy to use, fast, and can be accessed from any computer or smartphones without installation. They allow us to easily communicate and share data with each other, make shopping simple, and give us access to vast amount of information. However, Web 2.0 is also frequently mentioned in the news in connection with novel exploits, data leaks, or identity theft. Active content, tight integration, and the overall complexity of the continuously evolving Web 2.0 technology creates new risks which we can hardly grasp. Turning back is no solution, since we would lose many beloved features. But how can we get both - pleasant user experience and security - in such a messy place such as the current Web 2.0 represents? We study the complex security situation and attack surface of Web 2.0 applications and attempt to give a brief tour through this zoo, focusing on already existing applications. We particularly outline open research challenges in this field and give recommendations how to approach these issues.
