Firefox for Desktop

for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android

First Web browser to Support Do Not Track on Multiple Platforms

Browser ID

Firefox: Do Not Track

Tell Web sites that users wish to opt-out of online behavior tracking

Initiative that Safari joined later, leaving Google behind

IE9 is joining

84% of browser market share 'Firefox, Safari, IE'

W3C held the first workshop on tracking protection

Firefox: Do Not TrackHow it Works?

Tracking: associated with online behavioral advertising

Not all websites or advertisers allow for opt-out

Make opt-out easily configurable

Firefox 4

instead of the cookie-based mechanism, firefox sends a specially formatted HTTP header to Web servers

nothing that user doesn't want to be tracked

Passive header solution

30 lines of code for implementation

Associated Press and Chitika started to recognize the header on the server side

DNT HTTP Header

DNT Header and Ack

DOM Flag

navigator.doNotTrack

No DOM Flag = No Do Not Track-aware JavaScript

<?php if(array_key_exists("HTTP_DNT",$_SERVER) and $_SERVER["HTTP_DNT"] == "1") {print("var DoNotTrack = 1;\n);} ?>

Third party has to check for DNT header

What to do about logging the request?

What about clients that don't support JavaScript?

Have to look at the header

Response Header

Makes DNT response clear

Requires third party implement response header

More traffic on the wire

Fights for that!Support DNT!

Firefox: Browser ID

Experimental new way of signing into websites

For users: BrowserID provides a safer and easier way to sign in

For developers: BrowserID offers a world class sign-in experience with only a couple lines of code

Firefox: Browser ID

When clicking Sign in, BrowserID displays a window with email addresses, you select the email address, and you are done!

Firefox: Browser IDHow does it work for

Users?

BrowserID verifies email ownership, user picks the

email to sign in with

www.browserid.org

http://identity.mozilla.com

Developers?

implements the verified email protocol

It doesn't require that email providers support the system, but provides a better experience if they do

effectively a universal login system

Developers?Difference between BrowserID and OpenID:

creating identity token - User ID or personal URL - and describing how to use the token for authentication is not the optimal way

BrowserID uses email address

Developers?Why email addresses?

fully distributed system

millions of participating hosts

billions of accounts

deeply interdependent with DNS 'Globally Distributed DNS Lookup System'

Supports pseudonymous identity through anonymous remailers

users understand what an email represents

Developers?

helghareeb@gmail.com

Can be used with other protocols than SMTP

email host authenticates a user to prove control over identity

Developers?BrowserID System allows Firefox 'or any other Web browser to':

Maintain a list of user's verified email addresses

Demonstrate control of an email address to a website through cryptographic means

Developers?System allows an identity authority 'mail server' to:

Store secure, revocable key representing user authentication

Indicate to the browser the terms of use of the key 'expiration, invalidation, and refreshing'

Crete pseudonymous identities

Certify a user authentication to allow browser to present proof of authentication

Developers?Site allows a relying site 'any web site' to:

indicate to the browser that they can accept verified email addresses

ask the browser to prompt the user to select an address

Receive a cryptograhically-verifiable assertion of the user's identity

Verify the identity assertion locally

Firefox: Browser ID

easy to usesecure

cross-browserdecentralized

even better on future browsersrespects user privacy

Firefox

So, that's it?

Of course No, but we have a presentation to follow

Peer 2 Peer University

Peer 2 Peer University is an open education project dedicated to 'learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything'

P2PU offers a community and platform for lifelong learning through online courses and freely available open education materials

Privacy Icons

This project has a very simple goal: to develop a series of graphical and machine-readable privacy icons that companies can use to convey important elements of their privacy policy to users and that developers can build applications on top of to enable users to make choices based on the disclosures

Open Attribute

The problem: Creative Commons licensed content is awesome, but attributing it can be difficult and confusing

There are specific requirements for what needs to go into attribution

Solution: Simple tool everyone can use to do the right thing with the click of a button

Query metadata around a CC-licensed object and produce a properly formatted attribution

ChromelessWeb itself should be the

Platform

idea: removing the current browser user interface and replacing it with a flexible platform which allows for the creation of new browser UI using standard Web technologies

instead of building a whole new platform, we suggest that the Web itself should be the platform!

PlatformComputing platform includes some sort of hardware architecture

and a software framework (including application frameworks). The combination allows software to run. Typical platforms include a

computer's architecture, operating system, programming languages and related user interface (run-time system libraries or

graphical user interface).

A platform is a crucial element in software development. A platform might be simply defined as a place to launch software. The

platform provider offers the software developer an undertaking that logic code will run consistently as long as the platform is

running on top of other platforms. Logic code includes bytecode, source code, and machine code. It actually means execution of the program is not restricted by the type of operating system provided.

It has mostly replaced the machine-independent languages.

Featured Mozilla-Based

Applications

Mozilla Projects

Gecko: layout engine that reads web content, such as HTML, CSS, XUL, and JavaScript and renders it on a user's screen. In XUL-based applications, Gecko is used to render the application's user interface as well.

Necko: network library that provides a platform-independent API for several layers of networking, ranging from transport to presentation layers. This API is used in many Mozilla-based client applications (including Firefox) and can be used for writing other networking clients.

NSPR: Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) provides a platform-neutral API for system level and libc-like functions.

NSS: Network Security Service (NSS) is a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates and other security standards

Rhino: open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. It is typically embedded into Java applications to provide scripting to end users.

SpiderMonkey: SpiderMonkey is JavaScript engine written in C. It is written to embed easily and can be found in a variety of different applications including Firefox.

Tamarian: JavaScript engine written in C++. It currently implements Adobe Action Script 3 and is embedded within the Adobe Flash Player 9.

XPCOM: cross platform component object model, similar to Microsoft COM. It has multiple language bindings, letting the XPCOM components be used and implemented in JavaScript, Java, and Python in addition to C++.

XUL Runner: (pronounced /ˈzuːl/ "zool"), the XML User Interface Language, provides an environment for developers to build XUL-based applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird. It provides mechanisms for installing, upgrading, and uninstalling applications.
