Chapter 7. Security and Ajax
This chapter covers
- The JavaScript security model
- Remote web services
- Protecting users’ data on the Internet
- Protecting your Ajax data streams
Security is an increasingly important concern for Internet services. The Web is inherently nonsecure, and adding proper security measures to an Ajax application can be a strong differentiator for a product. Clearly, if a user’s money is involved in any way, such as online shopping or providing a service that he has paid for, giving due consideration to security is essential.
