Abstract
In the presence of attacker controlled code, popular protection mechanisms such as access control and taint tracking fail. We argue for the necessity of full information-flow control and present JSFlow, an information-flow aware interpreter for full ECMA-262(v.5). Previous work has shown that (hybrid) dynamic information-flow enforcement is a fruitful approach to enforcing secure information flow in the setting of web application. Those results naturally extend to hybrid mobile apps, with JSFlow deployed as a library.
