Ajax applications should be open yet secure. Far too often security is added as an afterthought. Potential flaws need to be

identified and addressed right away. This book explores Ajax and web application security with an eye for dangerous gaps and

offers ways that you can plug them before they become a problem. By making security part of the process from the start, you

will learn how to build secure Ajax applications and discover how to respond quickly when attacks occur.

Securing Ajax Applications succinctly explains that the same back-and-forth communications that make Ajax so responsive also

gives invaders new opportunities to gather data, make creative new requests of your server, and interfere with the

communications between you and your customers. This book presents basic security techniques and examines vulnerabilities with

JavaScript, XML, JSON, Flash, and other technologies -- vital information that will ultimately save you time and money.
