securing http

Reffering to my last article, I said we could use cookies to keep spies from identity theft when using http.

I figured out that cookies are not suffisent since we cannot issue a cookie that would be readable by the plugins and scripts in the http pages but that would not be transmitted over the internet with every http request.

So I gave a little thoughts into this, and came up with a solution involving an html-5 functionality to implement my http-security : sessionStorage.

http outdated…

Since the release of the Firesheep extension for Firefox, making http-session-hijacking easyer than ever, I've seen an increasing concern about security on the web.

In this article, i'm going to review the technical fundaments of http-sessions, explain the problems encountered and offer a view on possible solutions.

Opera wins again

For a long time, Opera was the fastest browser, with the fastest rendering engine, and the fastest javascript engine. But a few years ago, other browsers began to optimise toward faster rendering/JS-engines...

So opera fighted back and always stayed first with the rendering engine. But the JS-engine was getting oooold... Powerfull enought for any web usage, but still, Opera decided to give some developpment effort and strike back.

And they did ! The latest JS-engine is again the fastest engine, here some test results on my Unix Platform :
Opera, Firefox, and Chrome. Note (as the url of the test suggest) that chrome have been heavily optimized for this specific test, and still doesn't achieve any significant speed difference to opera, and is beated on lots of  others tests.
