Current architecture sum m ary

  • XML based, recognized standard
  • W

idespread technology: m any clients and APIs

  • Enables injecting security inform

ation within existing W ebsites

  • Enables filtering of the inform

ation

  • Any webm

aster can use the feed

  • Coherent, up-to-date inform

ation is available

  • Design up to W

ebm asters, but som e layout can be pushed However:

  • RSS requires a server-side m

echanism

  • W

ebm asters need to trust the authors or perform m anual updates

Future

W e need to:

  • Provide better, m
  • re targeted content
  • Provide a second layer of inform

ation, via external W eb pages

  • Receive contributions from

the com m unity

  • Deploy the m

echanism am

  • ngst m
  • re sites
  • Im

prove the way the inform ation is sorted
