Prevention Of Cross-Site Scripting Attacks XSS On Web Applications In The Client Side
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks are
currently the most popular security problems in modern
web applications. These Attacks make use of
vulnerabilities in the code of web-applications, resulting
in serious consequences, such as theft of cookies,
passwords and other personal credentials. Cross-Site
scripting (XSS) Attacks occur when accessing
information in intermediate trusted sites. Client side
solution acts as a web proxy to mitigate Cross Site
Scripting Attacks which manually generated rules to
mitigate Cross Site Scripting attempts. Client side solution
effectively protects against information leakage from the
user's environment. Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks
are easy to execute, but difficult to detect and prevent.
This paper provides client-side solution to mitigate crosssite
scripting Attacks. The existing client-side solutions
degrade the performance of client's system resulting in a
poor web surfing experience. In this project provides a
client side solution that uses a step by step approach to
protect cross site scripting, without degrading much the
user's web browsing experience.
