Gazelle Web Browser

Hi all,

I will be presenting the technical report - “The Multi-Principal OS Construction of the Gazelle Web Browser” on 03/09/09.

Gazelle, a secure web browser from Microsoft & University researchers, is constructed as a multi-principal web browser aims at providing better security than Google’s Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox or Microsoft’s own Internet Explorer! Gazelle has new security features that address UI redressing attacks, block race condition attacks where attackers create a Web page to get you to click a certain area which could lead to an attack. In addition to that, Gazelle sandboxes plug-ins so they remain isolated.

We will discuss in detail the Gazelle Architecture, how does it differ from current browsers, how does the Gazelle architecture help in thwarting different attacks, and pros and cons of this new architecture.
