Abstract
Abstract : To enforce accountability of information in web applications, it is necessary to track and control information flows. Information flow control ensures that information affected by some source can be attributed to that source. This research explored new ways to control information flow in web applications by extending prior work on the JIF programming language. Several technical innovations made it possible to apply language-based information flow control in every tier of a web application: at the application server (in the SIF system), at the web browser (in the Swift system), and in the persistent store (in the Fabric system). Several peer-reviewed publications were produced, some appearing in highly competitive publication venues. In addition, most of the software produced under the auspices of this project, including the SIF and Swift systems, has been publicly released, along with manuals and tutorials explaining how to use them to build web applications.
