Abstract

Secure web application development is one of the prime challenges for the software industry. In the last decade, web applications have rapidly developed but web engineering methods have some limitations while designing web applications. The extensive literature survey explores various concepts like web engineering, hypertext modelling, web applications hypertext modelling methods, attacks on web applications, same origin policy (SOP) and cross origin resource sharing (CORS). The complexity of web pages is a major concern for security. The proposed secure hypertext model (SHM) provides hypertext modelling of web applications and helps in the identification of attacks on hypertext links. It provides security stereotypes and precisely specifies vulnerability defences in web application design. This standardized attack vector and defence mechanism will help developers to build more secure applications.
