----------
The goal of this one day workshop is to bring
together researchers and practitioners from
academia and industry to focus on understanding
Web 2.0 security and privacy issues, and
establishing new collaborations in these areas.

Web 2.0 is about connecting people and amplifying
the power of working together. Enabled by a wave
of new technology, these social and business
interactions rely on composition of content and
services from multiple sources, commonly called
mash-ups, leading to systems with complex trust
boundaries. This trend is likely to continue
because individuals and businesses desire the
efficiency and simplicity these technologies offer.

Together with their virtues, these technologies
raise issues about management of identities,
reputation, privacy, anonymity, transient and
long term relationships, and composition of
function and content, both on the server and on
the client (web browser). Although the underlying
security and privacy issues are not new, the use
of these technologies on a wide scale and by a
broad audience raises new questions. This
workshop is intended to discuss the limitations
of current technologies and explore alternatives.

The scope of W2SP 2009 includes, but is not limited to:
* Trustworthy cloud-based services
* Privacy and reputation in social networks
* Usable security and privacy
* Security for the mobile web
* Identity management and psuedonymity
* Advertisement and affiliate fraud
* Provenance and governance
* Security and privacy as a service
* Web services/feeds/mashups
* Security and privacy policies for composible content
* Next-generation browser technology
Potential workshop participants should submit a
paper on topics relevant to Web 2.0 security and
privacy issues. We are seeking both short
position papers (2–4 pages) annd refereed papers
(a maximum of 8 pages). Papers longer than 8
pages may be automatically rejected by the chair
or workshop committee. From the submissions, the
program committee will strive to balance
participation between academia and industry and
across topics. Selected papers will appear on the workshop web site.
