  • A Trusted Infrastructure for Symbolic Analysis of Event-Driven Web
    A Trusted Infrastructure for Symbolic Analysis of Event-Driven Web Applications Gabriela Sampaio Imperial College London, UK [email protected] José Fragoso Santos INESC-ID/Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal Imperial College London, UK [email protected] Petar Maksimović Imperial College London, UK [email protected] Philippa Gardner Imperial College London, UK [email protected] Abstract We introduce a trusted infrastructure for the symbolic analysis of modern event-driven Web applica- tions. This infrastructure consists of reference implementations of the DOM Core Level 1, DOM UI Events, JavaScript Promises and the JavaScript async/await APIs, all underpinned by a simple Core Event Semantics which is sufficiently expressive to describe the event models underlying these APIs. Our reference implementations are trustworthy in that three follow the appropriate standards line-by-line and all are thoroughly tested against the official test-suites, passing all the applicable tests. Using the Core Event Semantics and the reference implementations, we develop JaVerT.Click, a symbolic execution tool for JavaScript that, for the first time, supports reasoning about JavaScript programs that use multiple event-related APIs. We demonstrate the viability of JaVerT.Click by proving both the presence and absence of bugs in real-world JavaScript code. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Software and its engineering → Formal software verification; Software and its engineering → Software testing and debugging Keywords and phrases Events, DOM, JavaScript, promises, symbolic execution, bug-finding Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.ECOOP.2020.28 Acknowledgements Fragoso Santos, Gardner, and Maksimović were partially supported by the EPSRC Programme Grant ‘REMS: Rigorous Engineering for Mainstream Systems’ (EP/K008528/1) and the EPSRC Fellowship ‘VetSpec: Verified Trustworthy Software Specification’ (EP/R034567/1).

Realizing that this might be an opportunity for content providers to enrich their coverage of large events by making use of the attendees’ contributions, MOG Technologies started a project in a partnership with INESC TEC, Jornal de Notícias and OSTV. The idea of the project is to offer simple means for the event attendees, who can be general public or professional reporters, to send video streams in real-time to the TV producer who is covering the event and live broadcasting it to the public. The video streams are captured with the smartphones of the attendees through an intuitive web app. On the production side, the intention is to allow the TV event producer to continuously browse through the different received feeds using a drag-and-drop web-based GUI and, at any instant, to select a given feed to be inserted automatically in the main broadcast stream, which can also appear in the on-site large TV screens.

    Position Paper: Challenges for enabling targeted multi-screen advertisement for interactive TV services for the Fourth W3C Web and TV Workshop Christopher Krauss, Louay Bassbouss, Stefan Pham, Stefan Kaiser, Stefan Arbanowski, Stephan Steglich Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems Kaiserin-Augusta-Allee 31, 10589 Berlin, Germany ffi[email protected] February 3, 2014 The Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS1 Competence Center Future Applications and Media FAME2 re- searches and develops in the fields of interactive smart and social media services, cross-platform applica- tions as well as personalized service offerings. All technical solutions comply with applicable international standards, such as DASH IF, the Open IPTV Forum, HbbTV and W3C. In this context, the theme of the FAME organized 4th FOKUS Media Web Symposium3 on May 8 - 9, 2014 is "Internet delivered Media and Multi-screen Technologies and Standards". In this position paper we will address the challenges and missing standards for enabling targeted multi-screen advertisement for interactive TV services. Furthermore, we will outline and discuss the limitations and difficulties of building cross-platform and multi-screen TV services. We will also propose potential solutions for closing the gap between the web and TV domains based on the following use case: Alice and Bob are watching a Formula 1 race on the TV. The broadcaster offers a service which allows users watch the race from different camera perspectives, where the TV displays the perspective of the main camera and a companion device may be used to display the perspective of the on-board camera of a selected driver (user can select which driver).

Clicking on a link is always a GET request while HTML forms only allow GET and POST methods.

  • An Expressive Model for the Web Infrastructure: Definition and Application to the Browserid SSO System
    An Expressive Model for the Web Infrastructure: Definition and Application to the BrowserID SSO System∗ Daniel Fett, Ralf Küsters, Guido Schmitz University of Trier, Germany {fett,kuesters,schmitzg}@uni-trier.de Abstract The web constitutes a complex infrastructure and as demonstrated by numerous attacks, rigorous analysis of standards and web applications is indispensable. Inspired by successful prior work, in particular the work by Akhawe et al. as well as Bansal et al., in this work we propose a formal model for the web infrastructure. While unlike prior works, which aim at automatic analysis, our model so far is not directly amenable to automation, it is much more comprehensive and accurate with respect to the standards and specifications. As such, it can serve as a solid basis for the analysis of a broad range of standards and applications. As a case study and another important contribution of our work, we use our model to carry out the first rigorous analysis of the BrowserID system (a.k.a. Mozilla Persona), a recently developed complex real-world single sign-on system that employs technologies such as AJAX, cross-document messaging, and HTML5 web storage. Our analysis revealed a number of very critical flaws that could not have been captured in prior models. We propose fixes for the flaws, formally state relevant security properties, and prove that the fixed system in a setting with a so-called secondary identity provider satisfies these security properties in our model. The fixes for the most critical flaws have already been adopted by Mozilla and our findings have been rewarded by the Mozilla Security Bug Bounty Program.
