Sicherheit und das World Wide Web

Zusammenfassung

Das World Wide Web hat sich binnen weniger Jahre von einer Vision eines Einzelnen (Tim Berners-Lee, damals am CERN) zum dominanten Nutzungsgebiet des Internet entwickelt. Die Vision des World Wide Web, wie sie Berners-Lee 1991 formuliert hatte, ist heute noch gültig und wird täglich weiterentwickelt:

Aus [14]: “The project represents any information accessible over the network as part of a seamless hypertext information space.

W3 was originally developed to allow information sharing within internationally dispersed teams, and the dissemination of information by support groups. Originally aimed at the High Energy Physics community, it has spread to other areas and attracted much interest in user support, resource discovery and collaborative work areas. It is currently the most advanced information system deployed on the Internet, and embraces within its data model most information in previous networked information systems.

In fact, the web is an architecure which will also embrace any future advances in technology, including new networks, protocols, object types and data formats.”
