 Cross-site Scripting (XSS) has emerged as one of the most prevalent types of security vulnerabilities in web applications. Current defense mechanisms are mainly based on detecting malicious content on HTTP-requests using a negative security logic approach. This approach has known limitations, derived from the difficulty to define all the HTTP-request payload characteristics that may lead to XSS attacks. In this work we present a positive security logic approach to detect and prevent XSS attacks by verifying that every web-page sent back to the user's browser contains only "legal and original" code scripts inserted into the HTTP-response by the web application without being influenced by malicious input. Our results show that after a short learning period the XSS detector has zero false-positive and zero false-negative given our prototype limitations.

 Identity Theft is a fraud, in which someone pretends to be someone else is order to steal money or get other benefits. To overcome the problem of Identity Theft an additional security layer relying on the verification of users, based on their keystroke dynamics is proposed. Additionally we suggest to continuously verify users based on their keystrokes and mouse dynamics. The motivation for such technology, its challenges and potential, will be discussed.

 SSSL combines two highly efficient mechanisms to defend against phishing attacks. The first mechanism is a specially crafted bookmark which provides two-factor authentication. The second mechanism is an interactive custom image which is presented to the user on each login, and which the user has to click on in order to submit his credentials. SSSL's main advantages are its enhanced security and simple deployment. These two defense mechanisms were proven to be the most efficient mechanisms among different defense mechanisms tested in real life experiments. Furthermore, the two mechanisms complement each other: each protects a different secret, creating a safer login method. SSSL may be most useful in preventing a number of phishing attacks at high-value sites such as banking sites and single sign-on sites such as OpenID providers

-Cars are going wired and no one is going to stop it. Many car manufacturers already offer an on board computer that is an integral part of the car and communicates with the world over cellular links. This computer offers navigation, entertainment, phone, location and safety application among others. However this level of connectivity both to the car systems and to the world presents a new threat affecting car users privacy and driving safety. The presentation will discuss new car computing platforms, their security implications and propose mitigation methods.

-Identity management is often driven by operational requirements rather than security requirements. The presentation will explore the security aspects of IdM as part of authentication and authorization. Among the issues discussed are: What security benefits can an IdM provide? What IdM types, techniques and methods best suit security requirements? And lastly what are the security pitfalls and disadvantages of IdM.

+The presentation will explore the Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack and how it be used in order to implement new and old attacks. ReDoS is commonly known as a “bug” in systems, but the presentation will show how serious it is and how using this technique, various applications can be “ReDoSed”. These include, among others, Web Application, WAFs, IDS, AV, Web Servers, Client-side browsers (including cellular devices), and Database.
