Data protection on websites is a common objective for entities and organizations, so new security strategies are constantly being sought. This research evaluates the effectiveness of using security metadata in HTML structures to protect sensitive data. To achieve this, a website scraping experiment will be conducted on sites that include authentication, to verify on which sites this type of fraud can be performed and to identify the use of security metadata. Our results show that 25% of the websites selected for the experiment could be extracted from the database, and the remaining sites have different settings, such as metadata, robots.txt file, and others, to protect and prevent data extraction. This proves that metadata is the first step of website security.

摘要

Data protection on websites is a common objective for entities and organizations, so new security strategies are constantly being sought. This research evaluates the effectiveness of using security metadata in HTML structures to protect sensitive data. To achieve this, a website scraping experiment will be conducted on sites that include authentication, to verify on which sites this type of fraud can be performed and to identify the use of security metadata. Our results show that 25% of the websites selected for the experiment could be extracted from the database, and the remaining sites have different settings, such as metadata, robots.txt file, and others, to protect and prevent data extraction. This proves that metadata is the first step of website security.
