Microsoft Gazelle: New Browser Modern architecture

Posted on/at 1:50 AM by Areez

Logo Microsoft ResearchStarting from a browser application that the user to visit a static page site. Along with the internet berevolusinya be a dynamic place, the browser seems to be an operating system that rogue use the same resources for a variety of sites that do not trust each other (each site is called "principal"). Currently, there is no browser in the world, including berarsitektur new browser such as IE8 and Google Chrome has a multi-principal architecture.

The main purpose of the Gazelle is to create a browser with high security level to explore the application web-based applications all over the internet. At its core, "Gazelle trying to make the browser into the operating system more secure with the principal (the site) from one another with a separate power source that is used in the domain to their own. All information exchange between the two principle must be conducted through the channel dijembatani by the browser kernel. "
Arsitektur Sekuriti Gazelle


For the technical you might think "notGoogle Chrome all have separate power source to the site in the process of each?" Chrome architecture with the architecture introduced in the Gazelle has two major differences:
1. Chrome all the sites / applications with the same domain as the principal and so for example, mail.google.com docs.google.com akan considered as one unit. Gazelle assume two different applications of this as their principal.
2. When a site, for example igoogle.com embed content from other sites, such as for example content from youtube.com in an iframe, Chrome will put them to a principal in the same. Not so much as with the Gazelle

Microsoft research team said that the prototype has been successfully Gazelle 19 of the 20 most popular sites according to Alexa statistics, but acknowledge that the prototype performance is only "so-so." Reports published in a research team
also describe the security architecture Gazelle comparison with some other browser. If interested in the browser and security technologies, research is quite interesting to read
