Mashup Component Isolation Via Server-Side Analysis and Instrumentation

Web 2.0 and mashups provide opportunities for exciting new applications. However, the security model of the underlying browser technology is quite inadequate to deal with the new trust and security issues. In particular, it provides no good and easy way to isolate mashup components from each other. While browsers might eventually fix these problem, this will take its time. One promising approach which works with current browsers is based on server-side analysis and code instrumentation. Web 2.0 mashups provide exciting new ways to aggregate information services from multiple providers, and present them to users.
