  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNSC,volume 6615))

Abstract

In the tradition of distributed systems security, access control equals authentication and authorisation, where obtaining the source of the request is called ‘authentication’ [4]. In web applications, the source of a web page is a host known by a DNS name. Web browsers attempt to enforce same origin policies on scripts executing within a web page or on the dissemination of HTTP cookies.
