Web is the premier platform for diversity of mobile space

Handheld intelligent devices are ubiquitous

App. distribution

More diversity of device types

Greater degree of globalization of the Web

… but now this platform is driving new capabilities

Focus of several years has been the Mobile Web Initiative

Increasingly, the same Web, independent of device, processing power, screen size, etc.

Location-based applications

A platform for Web applications, not just Web browsing

The impact of the Open Web Platform on mobile applications

The Web is the applications and services platform for the future of mobile

Web Apps platform is the underlying platform (one common set of APIS and formats)

Key services enabled by W3C work:

voice built on WebRTC

video built on HTML5

location-based

games

social networking

mobile advertising

The Web is increasing government transparency, efficiency, and lowering costs.

WEB HAS IMPROVED GOVERNANCEThe

‣ Linked government data a major theme due to public service nature

‣ Accessibility is key as the Web replaces paper forms‣ Digital access is a “right” not a privilege‣ Social networking has impact on politics in many countries

SOCIAL NETWORKINGWORLD IN TRANSITION

SOCIAL WEB IS THE WEB OF PEOPLEThe

The Social Web has introduced an order-of-magnitude more people who are putting content on the Web. They want the latest and greatest in video, image, graphics, and flexibility of device access. The scale of social networks drives performance concerns.They are exploiting linkages between data as never before.Constantly developing new paradigms: e.g., real-time communications.The scale of social networks drives performance concerns.Usages of the social network have accentuated privacy concerns (next section).

SECURITY AND PRIVACYWORLD IN TRANSITION

A WORLD OF RISKSThe

‣ Cross-site scripting, request forgery‣ It must become easier to build secure yet powerful

apps

‣ The concerns have moved from trade journals and policy gatherings to the front page of every newspaper with the advent of social networking, behavioral tracking

PRIVACY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN WITH THE WEB FOR YEARS

SECURITY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN WITH THE WEB FOR YEARS

ELECTRONIC WARFARE, CENSORSHIP, WEB SHUTDOWNS, DENIAL OF SERVICE

W3C TRUSTS THE COMMUNITY WILL MANAGE RISK

How

‣ The Web Platform has evolved a unique security model๏ Sandboxing and mobile code; visit any site, securely

๏ Different trust domains for different Web applications๏ Upcoming work on Web app security will ease

development‣ A growing consensus that with Web standards defined at W3C, there is a responsibility to address privacy and security systematically

‣ Some areas (WebID) have been worked on elsewhere and resulted in Balkanized solutions: need to bring together at W3C

NEXT GENERATION PRIORITIES FOR SECURITY AND PRIVACY

The

‣ Tracking๏ It also can lead to unwanted intrusion into personal lives๏ The tools to mitigate intrusion are confusing to novices and

inconsistent๏ Tracking and profiling of users can lead to beneficial value-added

services๏ The balance between these are hotly debated, poorly understood, and

vary by culture‣ Identity

๏ Identity now part of core web architecture. Need for consistent experience through browser.

‣ Security in general๏ WebApps, HTML5
