Standard

This specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the confidentiality and integrity of communications.

This document describes how an author can set a referrer policy for documents they create, and the impact of such a policy on the Referer HTTP header for outgoing requests and navigations.

The Permissions Standard defines common infrastructure for other specifications that need to interact with browser permissions. It also defines an API to allow web applications to query and request changes to the status of a given permission.

ISO/IEC 18045:2008 is a companion document to ISO/IEC 15408, Information technology - Security techniques - Evaluation criteria for IT security. ISO/IEC 18045:2008 defines the minimum actions to be performed by an evaluator in order to conduct an ISO/IEC 15408 evaluation, using the criteria and evaluation evidence defined in ISO/IEC 15408. ISO/IEC 18045:2008 does not define evaluator actions for certain high assurance ISO/IEC 15408 components, where there is as yet no generally agreed guidance.
