Charter for HASMAT -- HTTP Application Security Minus Authentication and Transport WG Problem Statement Although modern Web applications are built on top of HTTP, they provide rich functionality and have requirements beyond the original vision of static web pages. HTTP, and the applications built on it, have evolved organically. Over the past few years, we have seen a proliferation of AJAX-based web applications (AJAX being shorthand for asynchronous JavaScript and XML), as well as Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), based on so-called Web 2.0 technologies. These applications bring both luscious eye-candy and convenient functionality, e.g. social networking, to their users, making them quite compelling. At the same time, we are seeing an increase in attacks against these applications and their underlying technologies. The list of attacks is long and includes Cross-Site-Request Forgery (CSRF)-based attacks, content-sniffing cross-site-scripting (XSS) attacks, attacks against browsers supporting anti-XSS policies, clickjacking attacks, malvertising attacks, as well as man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks against "secure" (e.g. Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL)-based) web sites along with distribution of the tools to carry out such attacks (e.g. sslstrip). Objectives With the arrival of new attacks the introduction of new web security indicators, security techniques, and policy communication mechanisms have sprinkled throughout the various layers of the Web and HTTP. The goal of this working group is to standardize a small number of selected specifications that have proven to improve security of Internet Web applications. The requirements guiding the work will be taken from the Web application and Web security communities. Initial work will be limited to the following topics: - Media type sniffing, as discussed in draft-abarth-mime-sniff - Same origin policy, as discussed in draft-abarth-origin (expired) - Strict transport security, as discussed in draft-hodges-stricttransportsec (to be submitted shortly) This working group will work closely with IETF Apps Area WGs (such as HYBI, HTTPstate, and HTTPbis), as well as W3C WebApps working group(s). Deliverables 1. A document illustrating the security problems Web applications are facing and listing design requirements. This document shall be Informational. 2. A selected set of technical specifications documenting deployed HTTP-based Web security solutions. These documents shall be Standards Track. Goals and Milestones Oct 2010 Submit "HTTP Application Security Problem Statement and Requirements" as initial WG item. Oct 2010 Submit "Media Type Sniffing" as initial WG item. Oct 2010 Submit "Web Origin Concept" as initial WG item. Oct 2010 Submit "Strict Transport Security" as initial WG item. Feb 2011 Submit "HTTP Application Security Problem Statement and Requirements" to the IESG for consideration as an Informational RFC. Mar 2011 Submit "Media Type Sniffing" to the IESG for consideration as a Standards Track RFC. Mar 2011 Submit "Web Origin Concept" to the IESG for consideration as a Standards Track RFC. Mar 2011 Submit "Strict Transport Security" to the IESG for consideration as a Standards Track RFC. Apr 2011 Possible re-chartering
