    2017 International Conference on Computer, Electronics and Communication Engineering (CECE 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-476-9 The Effect of HTML5 on Information Security Jing AN*, Lei ZHANG , Xue-chao ZHANG and Chun-lan YOU No 23, Taiping Road, Beijing, China *Corresponding author Keywords: HTML, Web application, Information security. Abstract. As the new generation of Web language, HTML 5 has a lot of new attractive features, it can be said to be the huge progress of Web standards in nearly a decade. This paper focuses on its impact on Web applications and security problems on the basis of the development course of HTML5, and countermeasures are put forward briefly from two aspects of management and technology. Introduction Hypertext markup language (HTML) is a standard programming language for describing web content and appearance. HTML 5 is the new revision of the hypertext markup language, the goal is to replace 1999 HTML4.01 and XHTML 1.0 standards, in order to make the web standards to adapt to the rapid development of Internet applications, and meet the demand of actual network. HTML 5 is the greatest progress in the field of Web development standards in the last decade. It has many improvements on the basis of HTML 4, including: new enhanced flexibility of parsing rules, a new attribute, instant pattern painting, on-time media playing, etc., these improvements not only bring more interactivity to Internet browsers, also create new vulnerabilities for web security. The Progress of Development The first official version of HTML was HTML 2.0, launched by the Internet engineering task force (IETF).

My wife, Rachel Finkelstein, has been steadfast throughout all of this, not least of which in the birth of our daughter, but also in her endless encouragement of my scholarship. All three of my readers, Cary Levine, Victoria Rovine, and Christoph Brachmann, deserve thanks for reading through several drafts and providing invaluable feedback. Cary has also admirably served as my advisor throughout the Art History degree program as well as a member of my dissertation committee. At times when it seemed difficult, if not impossible, to complete everything for both degrees, Cary calmly assured me that I could achieve these goals. Leading the spring 2019 thesis writing seminar, Dr. Rovine helped our whole cohort through to the successful completion of our theses, providing detailed and thoughtful comments on every draft. I also deeply appreciate the support from my peers in the course.

  • THE NEW “UNIVERSAL TRUTH” of the WORLD WIDE WEB Alexandru
    THE NEW “UNIVERSAL TRUTH” OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB Alexandru Tăbușcă1 Abstract We all see that the world wide web is permanently evolving and developing. New websites are created continuously and push the limits of the old HTML specs in all respects. HTML4 is the real standard for almost 10 years and developers are starting to look for new and improved technologies to help them provide greater functionality. In order to give the authors flexibility and interoperability and to enable much more interactive and innovative websites and applications, HTML5 introduces and enhances a large set of features, such as new form elements, APIs, multimedia elements, structure and semantics updates. The development of HTML5, started in 2004, is currently carried out by a joint effort of the W3C HTMLWG and the WHATWG organizations. A lot of important companies participate in this effort, including the largest browser developers: Microsoft, Mozilla, Opera and Apple. The specifications of the new “to be” standard is still work in progress and quite a way lies ahead before its completion. Taking into account this fact there is a certain possibility that the features presented below have already been somehow modified or changed even in the near future. Keywords: html5, cross-platform, css3, JavaScript, mobile application development, flexibility, interoperability. Introduction First of all we have to remember several historical, background facts about the well- known and widely used HTML standard. In 1999, the W3C consortium has decided to stop working on the

It's also one of the most exciting technological advances perhaps ever (a big claim, especially for something I just described as a mess). There are quite a few books, most of them excellent, on HTML5. Some cover the markup exclusively. Some cover markup and JavaScript APIs. Others still focus on a specific development challenge like games. This book is a little different. Rather than simply looking at the what and how of HTML5 (though it does that as well) it endeavors to explain the why and why not of HTML5.

These client-side HTML5 applications are increasingly accessing sensitive data, including users' personal and social data, sensor data, and capability-bearing tokens. Instead of the classic client/server model of web applications, modern HTML5 applications are complex client-side applications that may call some web services, and run with ambient privileges to access sensitive data or sensors.
