From the Call for Participation: "This Workshop aims to identify steps W3C can take to improve Web Security from the user-facing end of the spectrum: Practical security online often fails because users can be induced to make decisions that jeopardize their security and privacy, based on a lack of working authentication of Web sites' identities (phishing). We will look at technologies that can support Web users to better assess the trustworthiness and identity of sites with which they deal."
The Call for Participation asked all interested parties to submit position papers. 41 position papers were received and accepted. About 55 participants joined us in New York on 15/16 March. The pesentations shown are now linked from the Workshop program page.
A big "Thank You" to the program committee, to the speakers, and to all participants who made this happen.
To keep the conversation going, a mailing list has been set up (subscribe). We invite all participants to the workshop, and other interested parties, to join the discussion there.
A workshop summary report is now available.
The workshop was hosted in New York by Citigroup.
Networking infrastructure was provided by CISCO.
