Abstract

We propose Web Content Integrity, a framework that allows a service provider to guarantee the integrity of their static website, even in the face of a compromised web server. Such integrity guarantees can then be built upon, for example to implement a secure end-to-end encryption application built as a website. Our framework encompasses developers, the Domain Name System, and Web Browsers, and is still resilient against loss of cryptographic key material. The required data structures can be generated automatically, and we expect the benefits to outweigh the introduced delays for most use cases.
