  1. A Web Framework For Selective Encryption Richie Steigerwald

  2. Privacy on the Web

  3. Session Cookies

  4. Session Cookies

  5. HTTPS

  6. Why HTTPS is slow

  7. HTTPS • HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL • SSL acts like a sub layer under regular HTTP application layering • HTTPS encrypts an HTTP message prior to transmission and decrypts a message upon arrival.

  8. HTTPS • Authentication • Integrity • Privacy

  9. Selective Encryption • Authentication • Encrypt cookies • Data integrity • Encrypt data checksum • Data privacy • Encrypt private data

  10. Authentication • For all requests, encrypt • Cookie • Secret Code • For all responses, encrypt • Secret Code

  11. Integrity • Perform authentication related encryption • In the response, attach and encrypt checksum with secret code Don’t read this while I’m presenting! If this is distracting you then I guess my presentation is pretty boring anyway. I actually wrote this presentation this morning. I hope it’s going well. Anyway, here’s something interesting: Apparently some brothel in Borneo (dunno WTF that is) was using a shaved orangutan as a sex slave. I just saw that on reddit. Maybe you’re looking at reddit right now, I don’t blame you. *(a$TH(0et1? be912zHZ&?

  12. Privacy • Perform authentication related security • Encrypt the entire request/response SSL in the 90’s

  13. Framework Interface • Developers should only have to specify what level of security to use • Framework should keep track of sessions and perform checksums automatically

  14. Server • Keep track of sessions • Guarantee it’s the same person • Checksums • Encryption

  15. Client • Decrypt and verify secret code • Decrypt and verify checksum • Decrypt private data • Sandbox received code

  16. Validation • Guarantee authenticity with near-HTTP speeds • Guarantee integrity with speeds faster than HTTPS

  17. Performance • Checksum faster than encryption

  18. Problems • Tradeoff speed vs. privacy • Encrypting shorter messages easier to crack
