Abstract
In one general aspect, a method can include receiving, by an application running on a computing device, an indication that a user of the computing device has been authenticated, and receiving a selection of a settings page, the settings page associated with the application and the user. The method can further include requesting the settings page for display on a display device included in the computing device, and receiving the settings page including a value for a preference for a setting included on the settings page, the value for the preference being signed by a private key associated with the user. The method can further include validating, by the application, the value for the preference using a public key associated with the application, and based on the validation, displaying, by the display device, the settings page including an indication of the value of the preference for the setting.
