Abstract: A runtime approach receives a request from a target location. Data elements are received from a data store. Privacy data type categories corresponding to retrieved data elements are identified. Data flow category is identified based on the target location. Privacy actions are performed modifying some data elements based on the identified privacy data type categories and the data flow category so that the modified data elements comply with one or more data privacy rules pertaining to the target location. A design-time approach retrieves data types included in a software application data design. Privacy categories are selected that correspond to the retrieved data types. Flow categorization data is retrieved that correspond to software application processes. Privacy categories and flow categorization data are compared to privacy rules. A user is informed if privacy rules are violated to facilitate software application modification in order to comply with the privacy rules.

Abstract: A method for decomposing a web application into one or more domain sandboxes ensures that the contents of each sandbox are protected from attacks on the web application outside that sandbox. Sandboxing is achieved on a per-element basis by identifying content that should be put under protection, generating a secure domain name for the identified content, and replacing the identified content with a unique reference (e.g., an iframe) to the generated secure domain. The identified content is then served only from the generated secure domain.
