HTML and JavaScript have become the go-to languages for many developers making apps for multiple smartphone operating systems. HTML provides developers with a way to make a universal framework to build cross-platform apps. This convenience does not come without risk, however. Being HTML-based, these apps are susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). In this paper, we break down what a cross-site scripting attack is, how it works, and the security risks that come with it. We also investigate several different methods used to detect and path code with vulnerability.

Every day, web credibility is becoming an increasingly important. It affects how we interact with information on the internet as well as the quality of those interactions. Web credibility also spills into the real world, as misinformation from the internet can have very real consequences and catastrophic losses. It also sets an aggressive challenge of choice among different web services in the internet user community. In this paper, we investigate the existing practice and research work on evaluating web service credibility. We classify the available techniques and discuss their capabilities and impacts on user/web interactions. This work will help discover the venues for credibility measures and highlight the effective techniques in different web service domains. It will also help build more rigorous techniques to disseminate credibility measures and support internet user choices.
