Hey folks, In the context of the set of side-channel-mitigating isolation primitives that we've discussed on the past few calls, I've been thinking about the notion of Secure Contexts. TL;DR: I think limiting the scope of that mechanism to the transport layer was a great idea in 2015; I think 2020 is a great time to revisit and expand it to include the threats we care deeply about today. I sketched out a proposal for an updated threat model in https://github.com/mikewest/securer-contexts/, which includes COOP/COEP/CORP on the one hand, and hand-waves at injection mitigation on the other. I'd appreciate feedback, either here on the list, in the GitHub repository, or on the design review request at https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/471. :) Thanks! -mike
