DESCRIPTION:The focus of this presentation will be to review the current s
 tatus of Web transaction security and address the question of why e-crimin
 als still enjoy the upper hand notwithstanding the availability of means f
 or achieving strong transaction security. In particular\, the following to
 pics will be addressed:\n\n* the failure of strong multi-factor authentica
 tion methods\n* a taxonomy of attack vectors as the basis for a proper eva
 luation of protection strength\n* the need for a multi-layered approach to
  transaction security\n* how application hardening impacts the e-crime eco
 nomics (or hacking ROI)\n* a new method for dynamic application authentica
 tion\n* the impact of usability on security: how to thwart a provably secu
 re transaction validation method
