Entry Point Regulation

http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-epr-20150609/

Abstract

Entry Point Regulation aims to mitigate the risk of reflected cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site script inclusion (XSSI), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks by demarcating the areas of an application which are intended to be externally referencable. A specified policy is applied on external requests for all non-demarcated resources.
