Web Platform Security
- Outcome
- Faster, more correct web platform security feature/tool roll-out (plus, easier maintenance!)
- Who
- tanvi, ckerschb, grobinson, sstamm, rbarnes
- [DONE] Consult/Research: plan out replacement for nsIContentPolicy and start executing (the Sicking project) [dri=tanvi, a=ckerschb] Try Run
- [DONE] Implement: Make new CSP parser on by default in nightly bug 925004 [dri=ckerschb, a=grobinson,sstamm]
- [DONE] Implement: Land WebCrypto [dri=rbarnes] bug 865789
Secure Client Platform
- Outcome
- incremental progress towards containing unprivileged code to mimize risk due to vulnerabilities
- Who
- bobowen, sstamm, tabraldes
- [MISSED] Get open.h264 plugin sandboxed on windows [dri=sstamm, a=tabraldes] (not done with reviews, close)
- [DROPPED] Get some tests on TBPL running with sandbox [dri=bobowen, a=sstamm,tabraldes] (Dropped due to complications in getting even e10s in windows running on TBPL, in favor of warn-only mode goal below)
- [MISSED] Create warn-only mode for sandbox in windows builds so developers can see what *will* break before it does [dri=bobowen, a=sstamm] (needs review and landing, close)
Secure Communications:
- Outcome
- More correct cert validation and way to detect MITM of at least one site (via pinning)
- Who
- keeler, cviecco, mmc, kathleen
- [DONE] Land key pinning [dri=cviecco, a=keeler,mmc]
- Landed, on by default (no sites are in "test-telemetry" mode). Working on enabling more sites next.
- See dashboard: http://people.mozilla.org/~mchew/pinning_dashboard/
- [DONE] mozilla::pkix on by default, (riding the train to) / (targeting a) release [dri=keeler, a=cviecco]
- [DEFER] BONUS (not required): Deploy UI for cert error reporting [dri=grobinson] bug 846489
- at risk due no engineer to work on it -- Updated Privacy Policy was published! (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/), unfortunately some links incorrect bug 1006204
- Made tons of progress
Tracking Protection / Privacy
- Outcome
- prepare Lightbeam for user study on tracking protection
- Who
- mmc, grobinson
- [MISSED] Get through the next 2 releases (1.0.10 (released) and 1.0.11) of Lightbeam: https://github.com/mozilla/lightbeam/issues/milestones towards the goal of conducting a small user study on tracking protection [dri=mmc, a=grobinson]
