The Seif Project
summary
Seif is an open source project started at PayPal that aims to transition the Web from a brittle document system into a real application delivery platform by removing legacy unsafe patterns and reducing platform complexity. It targets concrete failure modes: XSS, CSRF (excess RF in transcript), clickjacking and the dependency on passwords — calling out the ancient username:password in URL pattern from RFC 1738 — and proposes new protocols and APIs for relationship management to make web apps safer and easier to develop.
