White paper

Is the white paper published yet? I can't find it in the Ekoparty website or on Juliano's twitter feed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.66.52.86 (talk) 00:42, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Derivatives relevant?

I added the paragraph about BREACH as an advancement of CRIME, as relevant. User:Thompor took issue with that and deleted the lot with the terse edit summary "improved", which was later reverted. What do others think about mentioning derivatives of CRIME? --Lexein (talk) 07:49, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removed para

CRIME may also be defeated on the client side by placing restrictions on cross-site requests, known as cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection. The "CsFire" extension for Mozilla Firefox strips authentication and cookies from cross-site requests, while the "RequestPolicy" extension completely blocks cross-site requests by default. However, these extensions interfere with the normal operation of many websites, so the user must set up and maintain whitelists of unrestricted requests.^[1]

CRIME is generic (and different) attack, this only helps with BREACH.
It mitigates the attack, doesn't defeat it. The strength of the attack is in controlling (or knowing) the downloaded cleartext, not necessarily in the method used
"BREACH is a category of vulnerabilities"
it requires that the attacked system "Reflect a secret (such as a CSRF token) in HTTP response bodies" i.e. CSRF is only one secret type that can be revealed.
