    Abstract :

    There are several new and innovative ways for developing software applications on the web. One suchinnovative ways is “Web Mashup” which allows users to create and develop new web applications by combining data and services from other web applications and data sources. Web mashups are created using several technologies such as Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax), Rich Site Summary (RSS), Representational State Transfer (REST), and Extensible Mark-up Language (XML). The presence of numerous online available data sources and services make mashup creation faster, easier and richer in data and content. Besides these advantages, there arises wide array of security issues while integrating diverse data and services gathered from diverse sources into a completely new environment. The security issues include user authentication, data confidentiality, data integrity, access control, Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and many more. Many research papers aimed at providing andpresenting approaches that resolve these security issues but still there arises a need of some general and systematic approach to resolve these issues. This paper aims at providing a general and systematic approach to web mashup security.
