The Security Architecture of the Chromium Browser | 2009-04-24 | University of Washington |
| Most current web browsers employ a monolithic architecture that combines "The User" and "The Web" into a single protection domain. An attacker who exploits arbitrary code execution vulnerability in such a browser can steal sensitive les or install malware. This paper presents the security architecture of Chromium, the open-source browser upon which Google Chrome is built. Chromium has two modules in separate protection domains: a browser kernel, which interacts with the operating system, and a rendering engine, which runs with restricted privileges in a sandbox. This architecture helps mitigate high-severity attacks with-out sacrificing compatibility with existing web sites. It defines a threat model for browser exploits and evaluates how the architecture would have mitigated past vulnerabilities.

The Multi-Principal OS Construction of the Gazelle Web Browser | 2009-02-28 | Microsoft |
| Web browsers originated as applications that people used to view static web sites sequentially. As web sites evolved into dynamic web applications composing content from various web sites, browsers have become multi-principal operating environments with resources shared among mutually distrusting web site principals. Nevertheless, no existing browsers, including new architectures like IE 8, Google Chrome, and OP, have a multi-principal operating system construction that gives a browser-based OS the exclusive control to manage the protection of all system resources among web site principals. This paper introduces Gazelle, a secure web browser constructed as a multi-principal OS. Gazelle's Browser Kernel is an operating system that exclusively manages resource protection and sharing across web site principals. |
