XML is quickly becoming the universal protocol for transferring information
from site to site via HTTP. Whereas HTML will continue to be the language
for displaying documents on the Internet, developers will find new and
interesting ways to harness the power of XML to transmit, exchange, and
manipulate data using XML. Validation of the XML document and of the
messages going to that document is the first line of defense in hack
proofing XML. The same properties that make XML a powerful language for
defining data across systems make it vulnerable to attacks. More important,
since many firewalls will pass XML data without filtering, a poorly
constructed and unvalidated document can constitute a serious system-level
vulnerability. Hack Proofing XML will show you the ins and outs of XML and .NET security.
Hack Proof XML is written by Dr. Everett F. Carter, Jr., 'ken'@ftu, Jeremy
