In 1991, a group of Sun Microsystems engineers led by James Gosling decided to develop a language for consumer devices (cable boxes, etc.). They wanted the language to be small and use efficient code since these devices do not have powerful CPUs. They also wanted the language to be hardware independent since different manufacturers would use different CPUs. The project was code-named Green.

This WEPP software consists of an erosion prediction model (WEPP) written in the Fortran programming language, a climate generator program (CLIGEN) also written in the Fortran programming language, and a Windows interface (WEPPWIN) written in the Visual C++ programming language. The interface accesses databases, organizes WEPP and CLIGEN simulations, creates all necessary input files for WEPP and CLIGEN, and executes the Fortran models when necessary. The interface also accesses and processes output information from the Fortran models for display and access by the user.

The web 2.0 concept is not sufficiently defined to allow a critical discussion of it, but we can discuss AJAX (asynchronous Javascript and XML). This concept, which underpins many web 2.0 sites, repackages and applies existing technologies to achieve a new structure for internet applications. Unfortunately, increased flexibility creates conditions for new security problems.

To understand how AJAX alters the security landscape for web application testing it is necessary to show the fundamental differences between it and traditional internet application models.

World Wide Web’s secure backbone in over a decade
The CA/Browser Forum, a consortium of Certificate Authorities (CAs) and browser providers including VeriSign and Microsoft, recently created a new class of Web site identity authentication — the Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate standard. EV SSL Certificates require Web sites to pass a stricter identity verification process than required by traditional SSL Certificates. These new certificates also trigger a more noticeable secure user interface in the latest high-security browsers for visitors to Web sites with an EV SSL Certificate. The address bar in Microsoft IE7 turns a highly visible green color to immediately signal the presence of identity information. A field on the right of the address bar toggles between the name of the Web site organisation and the issuing CA, such as VeriSign.
