Abstract :
It turns out that the World Wide Web is not as secure as we once thought or at least hoped. In this talk, we review the security mechanisms, digital certificates and passwords, that we have been using to make the Web secure, and then argue, that despite these mechanisms, the web remains vulnerable to human mistakes and Phishing and Pharming attacks.
