Title
A resource management approach to web browser security
Abstract
While today's web browsers support multiple principals (i.e., web frames with embedded JavaScript code, or plugins) from many different origins at the same time, they do not have a clear resource management model, and the loose control on resource access has led to various types of web-based attacks. In this paper, we present a resource management framework for web browsers that allows both users of a web browser and the owner of a web page to specify their resource access control policies - which are then enforced by the framework's resource reference monitor. With our resource management framework, a web browser can become more secure, and we show that popular web attacks such as frame hijacking, cross-site request forgery, and DNS rebinding attacks, can all be addressed easily by deploying correct security policies. We also discuss how our resource management approach may be deployed and what a new paradigm it can bring to counter web-based attacks.
