Current status: The Web Security Context Working Group has sucessfully concluded its chartered work by publishing the Web Security Context: User Interface Guidelines Recommendation. As of 13 August 2010, the Working Group is closed. This home page is not actively maintained. Please direct comments about the specification to [email protected] (public archive).
From our charter: The mission of the Web Security Context Working Group is to specify a baseline set of security context information that should be accessible to Web users, and practices for the secure and usable presentation of this information, to enable users to come to a better understanding of the context that they are operating in when making trust decisions on the Web.
The Group is part of the Security Activity, and follows up on the W3C Workshop on Transparency and Usability of Web Authentication.
