Towards Secure SPARQL Queries in Semantic Web Applications using PHP\n (Extended Version)

The Semantic Web (SW) is a significant advancement in the field of Internet\ntechnologies and an uncharted territory as far as security is concerned. In\nthis paper we investigate and assess the impact of known attacks of\nSPARQL/SPARUL injections on Semantic Web applications developed in PHP. We\nhighlight future challenges of developing robust Semantic Web applications\nusing PHP. Our results demonstrate and quantify impacts on Confidentiality,\nIntegrity and Availability (CIA) breaches of data in Semantic Web applications.\nOur recommendations are targeted to PHP developers, to encourage them to\nintegrate security as early in their design and coding practice as possible.\n
