W3C’s mission is to develop open standards for an interoperable web to meet requirements for accessibility, internationalization, privacy, and security – so that humanity can experience all that the web has to offer.

The last two requirements, Privacy and Security, are integral to human rights and civil liberties and have always been of the Consortium's concern.

Also, in the Ethical Web Principles, there are several principles related to security both as a societal impact The web does not cause harm to society and in terms of people's security The web is secure, and respects peoples' privacy, where the goal is to create technology that creates as few threats as possible, or mitigates those threats

Several working groups deal with security issues, such as developing mechanisms and best practices which improve the security of Web Applications, develping strong authentication functionality for Web Applications, developing APIs to allow a website to request an identity credential securely, and enhancing the security and interoperability of various Web payments technologies.

Security is also a horizontal topic that often touches other groups and standards. Security can impact any protocol or API, which can have security implications. W3C Process mandates Wide Reviews, which is one of the Interest Group’s main scope.
