I found the following paragraph in owasp.org. Can someone please elaborate on this? Parameters must be converted to the simplest form before they are validated, otherwise, malicious input can be masked and it can slip past filters. The process of simplifying these encodings is called "canonicalization."
There is a (very short) article on Wikipedia, to begin with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonicalization There is an example, not directly related to security.
