Main

The goal of this project is to build a secure applications framework based off of JAVA and .NET architectures but written in javascript utilizing DOM and json as its foundation. This will allow JAVA and .NET programmers the ability to use their current programming methodologies via javascript .js files. See the Roadmap OWASP Focus Roadmap for more information on our plans.

Web Security Overview

While Java and .NET contain many security technologies for back-end development, it has not been so easy for back-end programmers to produce flexible front-end application without security vulnerabilities. Most application security vulnerabilities apply to developers not being able to code the front-end the same as the back-end with consistent coding methodologies. Notable this is because they are using different API frameworks for coding back-end (JAVA) verses front-end (JavaScript json/dom).

There are a lot of articles with tons of information regarding JavaScript and web UI programming vulnerabilities here at OWASP, however, this project is intended to provide a set of client side API's familiar to JAVA and .NET programmers along with built in OWASP best practices. This will enable them to write more secure code with little or no vulnerabilities.

Roadmap

The OWASP Focus overall goal is to...

1. Create a core structure of how interface components will be built.
2. Create an accessibility API for allowing other technologies interactive capabilities.
