Abstract

Web security is messy, quirky, and often quite complicated. Without a solid understanding of the security model, navigating this tangled web and building secure applications is impossible.

In this session, we explore how the browser thinks about security and how we can leverage that to build more secure web applications and APIs. We define core security techniques that you can use as the secure baseline to build your applications on. This session will give you the necessary background to secure your applications, and to dive into more advanced web security topics here at SecAppDev.
