Just a quick note to clue folks in to some emerging activity on web
security, mostly in the form of the HASMAT BoF at IETF 78.  The theme
here is better application-level security for the "modern" web, which
uses fun technologies like AJAX but also opens up the possibility for
new attacks (cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery,
malvertising, clickjacking, and all the rest).

The proposed charter [0] lays out these issues in greater detail, and
three Internet-Drafts [1] [2] [3] are currently being used as input to
the conversation.  If you go in for video, a relevant talk by BoF
co-organizer Jeff Hodges was recorded at the recent Internet Identity
Workshop. [4]

The BoF organizers will hold an introductory / preparatory conference
call tomorrow, July 14, at 16:00 UTC, and all those who are interested
in the intersection of security and the web are welcome to participate
in this call [5] and in the BoF on Tuesday, July 27, at 13:00 local time
in Maastricht. [6]

Thanks!

Peter
