Introduction
The goal of the OWASP AJAX Security project is to identify and document security issues encountered by AJAX applications and document ways to secure these applications. The OWASP AJAX Security project is being lead by Anurag Agarwal.

Project Roadmap
1. Gather existing presentations and pull ideas into OWASP 2. Review AJAX frameworks and identify security issues handled by these frameworks 3. Review AJAX related literature (books, articles, ...) 4. Document ways to secure AJAX applications

Volunteers Needed
We are actively seeking contributors to add new sections. If you are interested in volunteering for the project, or have a comment, question, or suggestion, please drop me a line mailto:abraham_kang[at]yahoo.com Also if you have an idea for new sub-projects then email us.

Update: We have a new volunteer Vishal Garg. Many thanks to Vishal!

Current Project Status
We are currently working on reviewing Ajax frameworks/tools. The intent of the review is to provide an overview of the framework and the security issues handled by the framework.

The framework we are currently reviewing is the Google Web Toolkit[]. If you have experience using GWT and/or are interested in participating in this review please contact us either though the mailing list or emailing anurag.agarwal[at]yahoo.com
