Overview:
Rich Internet Application (RIA) frameworks are seeing an enormous growth in popularity – technologies like Ajax and Flash create nearly unlimited opportunities to expand and improve the web user experience. They also bring with them a host of new security risks. The popularity of these frameworks among application developers insures that we’ll see more attacks and issues in the months and years ahead.
