Excerpt
Excerpt The TripWire open source code shows how document integrity can be checked, and how instructions can be executed where a document has been altered, at a level beyond the narrowness of a web browser. The triggering of the integrity check is a matter of configuration and timing, and adds no appreciative novelty to the solution. |
Relevance
Claims
1
A method of determining if a document associated with a web browser has been altered, the method comprising:
obtaining a first information associated with the document;
responding to an event by obtaining a second information associated with the document; and
comparing the first information with the second information and based on the comparison, executing a second set of computer instructions.
Relevance
[Tripwire] provides a mechanism to determine if a document has changed, and in response to a change detected to execute a set of computer instructions. It is broader than claim 1, 5, and 9 as these claims are restricted to a web browser, whereas Tripwire can be deployed on an Operating System. However as the source code is available as open source, it is an obvious step to apply it to a web browser.

5
An add-on for a web browser, where the add-on performs a method of determining if a document associated with a web browser has been altered, the method comprising:
obtaining a first information associated with the document;
responding to an event by obtaining a second information associated with the document; and
comparing the first information with the second information and based on the comparison, executing a second set of computer instructions.

9
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method of determining if a document associated with a web browser has been altered, the method comprising:
obtaining a first information associated with the document;
responding to an event by obtaining a second information associated with the document; and comparing the first information with the second information and based on the comparison, executing a second set of computer instructions.
