RE: [+SPAM+]: Re: W3C Web Security IG - about SOP and web security model amendment

Anders,

I think what we need is not *indirect words*, neither history, nor conclusion saying we are stuck, but positive contribution here : https://www.w3.org/Security/wiki/IG/a_view_on_SOP

For the sake of the debate , Anders, thanks for trying to keep the plan which is
(1) write down problem and possible technical direction in the wiki and
(2) debate once the wiki is stable on this mailing list

Regards,
Virginie
Chair of the Web security IG

Dear Virginie,

I have personally spent considerable time on write-ups like this one http://webpki.org/papers/permissions.pdf
which *indirectly* says that it is highly unlikely that there ever will be a Hardware Security API in the browser except for SOP-compliant solutions like FIDO.
Is this the kind of information and level you are requesting?

For this particular issue I have numerous of times (yes, I am repeating myself...), pointed in an entirely different direction but the only one who have responded is Ryan Sleevi who didn't like it at all, although it actually builds on features which were fairly recently introduced in Chrome.

Even the eID use-case which is a multi-billion-dollar-per-year business have been dismissed as a bad thing which ASAP should be removed from the Web.

So, unless somebody comes up with an even more "brilliant" idea, I think we're pretty stuck, including the coming HwSec and Web Payments WGs.
