Client-side encryption allows for the creation of applications whose providers cannot access the data its users have stored, thus offering a high level of privacy. [ 1 ] Applications utilizing client-side encryption are sometimes marketed under the misleading or incorrect term "zero-knowledge" , [ 2 ] but this is a misnomer, as the term zero ...
Cross-site scripting (XSS) [a] is a type of security vulnerability that can be found in some web applications.XSS attacks enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
The Web Cryptography API would allow the application to locate suitable client keys that were previously created by the user agent or had been pre-provisioned by the web application. The application would be able to give the user agent the ability to either generate a new key or re-use an existing key in the event the user does not have a key ...
End-to-end encryption is regarded as safer [20] because it reduces the number of parties who might be able to interfere or break the encryption. [21] In the case of instant messaging, users may use a third-party client or plugin to implement an end-to-end encryption scheme over an otherwise non-E2EE protocol. [22]
Server-Sent Events (SSE) is a server push technology enabling a client to receive automatic updates from a server via an HTTP connection, and describes how servers can initiate data transmission towards clients once an initial client connection has been established. They are commonly used to send message updates or continuous data streams to a ...
The XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object, a tool used by Ajax applications for browser–server communication, can also be pressed into service for server–browser Comet messaging by generating a custom data format for an XHR response, and parsing out each event using browser-side JavaScript; relying only on the browser firing the onreadystatechange ...
Typically data is fetched using Ajax techniques and rendered in the browser on the client-side by a client-side application framework, however as the stack is commonly entirely JavaScript-based, in some implementations of the stack, server-side rendering where the rendering of the initial page can be offloaded to a server is used so that the ...
Mapping between HTML5 and JavaScript features and Content Security Policy controls. If the Content-Security-Policy header is present in the server response, a compliant client enforces the declarative allowlist policy. One example goal of a policy is a stricter execution mode for JavaScript in order to prevent certain cross-site scripting attacks.
