whitepaper The Security Architecture of the Chromium Browser2009-04-24 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.

whitepaper Organizing Bookmarks With Firefox to Save Screen Space2009-03-19
  The author is sitting here typing on a 13.3" 1280 x 800 resolution LCD screen, and to him, 1280 x 800 isn't low resolution, but it's not quite enough to show him everything he wants to see. This is especially true while browsing the web and accessing the authors bookmarks toolbar in Firefox. At most, the author was able to fit 11 bookmarks and folders in the toolbar.   
whitepaper Internet Explorer 8 Technology Overview for Enterprise and IT Professionals2009-03-01 Microsoft
  Internet Explorer 8 builds on the Phishing Filter technology introduced in Internet Explorer 7 which was designed to warn users when they attempt to visit known-phishing sites, and replaces it in Internet Explorer 8 with the SmartScreen Filter that helps protect against phishing Web sites, other deceptive sites, and sites known to distribute malware. The SmartScreen Filter improves upon the Phishing Filter in many ways by providing improved user interface, faster performance, new heuristics and enhanced telemetry, anti-malware support, improved group policy support, etc.   
whitepaper The Department of Defense and Open Source Software2009-03-01 Oracle
  Is open source software a viable strategy for large-scale SOA deployments, especially at the U.S. Department of Defense? This white paper looks at the pros and cons of open-source software and helps organizations understand how to build a business case that is based on cost, schedule, performance and risks across the entire program lifecycle not just up-front program inception costs and considerations.

whitepaper The Multi-Principal OS Construction of the Gazelle Web Browser2009-02-28 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.   
whitepaper Building Interactive Web Applications Using Stored Processes2009-02-27
  In this paper the author will outline some of the most useful things that he has learnt while he has been building applications with SAS 9.1. Prior to this the author had built SAS applications using SAS/AF, which was very powerful and flexible. Moving to SAS 9.1 and with the advent of Stored Processes and the Stored Process Web Application it has opened up the possibility to easily create applications that run through a web browser.

whitepaper AXIGEN - The Easy and Effective Way to Mobile Email2009-01-15 GECAD TECHNOLOGIES
  The AXIGEN messaging solution uses an advanced mobile webmail interface that supports all mobile web browsers compatible with the XHTML format for page rendering. The mobile webmail is integrated into the same server module and therefore provides seamless access to information to all users just like the regular webmail interface. When accessing the AXIGEN webmail interface, the end-user Mobile Browser ID String (User Agent ID) is identified and the mobile webmail is loaded and rendered automatically. The mobile webmail setup involves the activation of the webmail service from the Web Administration interface (WebAdmin) for users intended to have access to it and enabling the mobile capabilities for this service by checking the corresponding option on the service setup page.

whitepaper Improving Consumer Use of the Web: Speed and Ease in the Real World #12009-01-01 Microsoft
  Ease and speed in the real world are measured in minutes, not milliseconds - in clicks and in frustration, not just in code. In what many perceive to be a new version of "The Browser Wars," there is a lot of talk about what makes a "Good" browser but not a lot of data. One knows the browser is important; for some people, the 15 hours they spend online each week is second only to the 40 hours they spend working. But time spent on the Web doesn't help one understand how a particular browser improves or detracts from a person's experience.

whitepaper Web Browsers: An Emerging Platform Under Attack2009-01-01 McAfee
  The first layer of malware defense should be placed at the network perimeter and be managed centrally. This helps the IT person in charge sleep better. This layer alone can't replace proper patch management and rollouts, but it keeps desktop computers with outdated or misconfigured local security software protected while they surf the Internet, and it can identify and isolate desktop computers that are infected - preventing the leakage of sensitive data and credentials. And because scarce false-positives are less problematic at the gateway level, more aggressive heuristics are possible that permit the highest proactive detection rates.

whitepaper UPK Browser-Based Player File Size and Bandwidth2008-11-04 Oracle
  This paper is a discussion of what occurs when an end user calls UPK Browser-based Player content. It is intended for the consideration to help one to assess the implications for using the UPK Browser-based Player in the own environment. The data included is the result of testing on a Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.
