A survey of the World Wide Web evolution with respect to security issues

Recently, we hear more about web generations and its role in current web technologies we are using. Most of people know Web 2.0 and how the huge transformation changed from the previous version (Web 1.0). Web 2.0 is the style that became standard in the late 1990s and includes all the features that have allowed web pages to move beyond static documents. Web 2.0 marked a cultural shift in how web pages were developed, designed, and used from static era to dynamic one. It saw the meteoric rise of social media, including Facebook and Twitter, and user-generated content such as blogs, wikis, Wikipedia being perhaps the most famous and video-sharing sites such as YouTube. Its features made it very attractive for people to be familiar with it and learn to work with it. In this paper, we will go through some aspects of Web Generations from 1.0 to 3.0 and focus on some security issues for each generation.
