Improving the trustworthiness of Javascript on the Web
A new specification co-authored by the authors introduces auditability to the web, addressing the challenge of trusting sites using cryptography due to the inability to audit changing client-side code.
MAIN POINTS
- Client-side code changes make it difficult to trust cryptographic sites.
- The specification aims to add auditability to the web.
- Auditability enhances trust in web cryptography.
- The authors co-authored the specification previewed.
TAKEAWAYS
- Trust in cryptographic sites is compromised by non-auditable client-side code.
- Introducing auditability could significantly improve web security.
- The specification is a collaborative effort to enhance web trust.
- Auditability could become a standard for web cryptography.
