Mailing-List, Coordination and Contact

The project ended sucessfully in 2012, so the mailing list is closed now. However, you can still contact the project leader Ralf Reinhardt.

This is a project of the OWASP German Chapter.

Abstract

Technical review of the module web application ("Baustein Webanwendungen") of the IT-baseline protection catalog ("IT Grundschutz Katalog") of the German Federal Office for Information Security ("BSI") from the OWASP's point of view.

Introduction

The German "Federal Office for Information Security" (BSI), which is comparable to departments focused on security in organizations like NIST or CCTA, offers the IT Baseline Protection ("IT-Grundschutz") for public usage, which is based on ISO/IEC 27001. The IT Baseline Protection include a catalog of approx. 80 "Bausteine" (building blocks). Those blocks are dealing with one particular subject of IT security. They are usually written in the German language and later translated to English. They become the de facto standard for IT security and related certifications in Germany after they are finally released.

In January 2012 the draft of the block "Webanwendungen" (web applications) was released with a request for comments. Since this is the core expertise of OWASP we invited a delegate of the BSI to attend the last chapter meeting of the German Chapter which took place in Frankfurt / Main on the 3rd of February. The meeting's outcome was the strong wish to perform a review of that very web application block as an OWASP project. This project will help to expand the visibility of OWASP in the German IT security landscape broadly.
