Study Notes
Web Services
- Provide interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network
- Represent business or data-tier components used by web applications to receive information
- Are connected using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Web applications connect with users while services interact with other services
- Languages for Secure Web Service Development:
- Do not include sensitive data in user-viewable source code
- Assemblies supporting untrusted callers should not expose objects from assemblies that do not allow untrusted callers
- Allow untrusted callers only after careful code review and security precautions
- Disable tracing, debugging, and testing-related functions before deployment
- Avoid verbose error information to the user
Markup Languages
- Modern systems for annotating documents in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text
- Categories: Presentational, Procedural, Descriptive
- Common web languages: HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Extensible Markup Language (XML)
HTML
- Markup language for creating web page documents
- Defines structure and layout using tags and attributes
- Contains JavaScript for web page interactivity
XML
- Used to express content within SOAP messages
- Basis for security technologies used by Web services
- Designed for extensibility and combination
- Offers integrity, confidentiality, and other security benefits to XML documents
- Risks posed by XML are not unique and can appear in other technologies
- Risks are more severe for XML due to its expressiveness, flexibility, and power
Style Sheets
- Separate presentation and content in web design
- Define the look and formatting of documents written in HTML or XML
- Determine how elements are displayed on a web page (layout, colors, fonts, etc.)
Client Side Scripting Languages
- Executed by the user's web browser
- Change static content to dynamic content based on user interaction
- Examples: AJAX, DOM, ActionScript, JavaScript, VBScript
Server Side Scripting Languages
- Executed by the Web Server when a document is requested
- Produce output in a format understandable by Web Browsers (HTML)
- User cannot see the script's source code
- Require language interpreters on the server and produce consistent output regardless of the client's system
- Examples: ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, JSP, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby
Sandboxed Languages
- Provide an independent sandbox environment for application creation
- Controlled and restricted setup for executing programs or scripts
