Abstract
A method by a service worker firewall middleware component is disclosed. The method includes causing a service worker firewall associated with a web site to be installed on a web browser, obtaining one or more rules in response to receiving a request from the service worker firewall for rules to be applied by the service worker firewall, sending a response to the service worker firewall, wherein the response includes the one or more rules, a digital signature for the one or more rules, and an indication of when the digital signature expires, wherein the digital signature is generated using a private key associated with the website, and receiving a rules violation report from the service worker firewall, wherein the rules violation report was generated as a result of the service worker firewall applying the one or more rules to cross-origin requests.
