About OWASP
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is an open community
dedicated to enabling organizations to develop, purchase, and maintain
applications that can be trusted. All of the OWASP tools, documents,
forums, and chapters are free and open to anyone interested in
improving application security. We advocate approaching application
security as a people, process, and technology problem because the most
effective approaches to application security include improvements in
all of these areas. We can be found at www.owasp.org.


* TOPICS OF INTEREST *
We encourage the publication and presentation of new tools, new
methods, empirical data, novel ideas, and lessons learned in the
following areas:

•    Security in web services, REST, and service oriented architectures
