<h3>Web Environment Integrity</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The Web Environment Integrity spec is a proposal by Google engineers
|
|
|
|
|
to add a mechanism to browsers that verifies them and the platform it's running on
|
|
|
|
|
to be trusted by third party (attester). This is often compared as being
|
|
|
|
|
<abbr title="Digital Rights Management">DRM</abbr> for Websites.
|
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
As an example Google Play is named as an attester for Android.
|
|
|
|
|
Of course this would enable Google to mark their own
|
|
|
|
|
Browser, Google Chrome, as trusted. Furthermore Google would be able to discourage the
|
|
|
|
|
use of Browsers that harm their business model (selling ads) like Firefox, a browser
|
|
|
|
|
that has a rich ecosystem of ad blockers and tracker protection.
|
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows Systems, Microsoft will likely play the role of the attester and
|
|
|
|
|
encourage the use of Edge. Which third would attest for a Browser to be trusted on
|
|
|
|
|
Linux distributions is not clear yet. There might be different attesters
|
|
|
|
|
being used in different distributions. More niche distros might have trouble
|
|
|
|
|
finding a third party to attest for their platform.
|
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
By implementing this spec Google is also forcing other browsers to do the same.
|
|
|
|
|
Browsers that don't implement the spec would simply not be trusted by websites
|
|
|
|
|
for demand the browser to proof it is trusted.
