As more
traditional sites adopt Web 2.0 technologies including AJAX, Web Services, SOA and PHP to perform
online transactions one thing is certain--- these new technologies bring

the specific security issues of AJAX,
especially cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and cross-site scripting (CSS),
and explain techniques for exploiting and protecting web services including
secure coding practices and how to properly secure web applications.
