Zimba, Brian Ackim Le, Hanh Information Technology Includes bibliographical references (leaves 52-54). The rise in global connectivity driven by user-demand is bringing about a wave of end-user interconnectivity applications. This, coupled with the improvements in software security that have forced a shift from syntactic to semantic attacks points at an every-growing likelihood of attacks targeting the human element. Literature predicts the extensibility of applications as presenting a growing threat, but the context of this threat beyond the web-browser model, remains unclear and uncharted. This work examines the possible threat extensibility poses in this developing context of greater enduser connectivity. 2015-04-02T14:18:47Z 2015-04-02T14:18:47Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12676 eng application/pdf Department of Computer Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
