Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
Secure EcmaScript (SES) is a frozen environment for running EcmaScript
(Javascript) 'strict' mode programs with no ambient authority in their global
scope, and with the addition of a safe two-argument evaluator
(SES.confine(code, endowments)
). By freezing everything accessible from the
global scope, it removes programs abilities to interfere with each other, and
thus enables isolated evaluation of arbitrary code.
It runs atop an ES6-compliant platform, enabling safe interaction of mutually-suspicious code, using object-capability -style programming.
See https://github.com/Agoric/Jessie to see how SES fits into the various flavors of confined EcmaScript execution. And visit https://cdn.rawgit.com/Agoric/SES/0.1.0/demo/ for a demo.
Derived from the Caja project, https://github.com/google/caja/wiki/SES .
Still under development: do not use for production systems yet, there are known security holes that need to be closed.
Incorporates (as a git submodule) the Realms shim from https://github.com/tc39/proposal-realms .
Despite this not being ready for production use, we'd like to get into the
practice of responsible disclosure. If you find a security-sensitive bug that
should not be revealed publically until a fix is available, please send email
to security
at (@) agoric.com
. To encrypt, please use my (@warner)
personal GPG key A476E2E6 11880C98 5B3C3A39 0386E81B

send messages to @agoric_security
, or share code and other log files via
the Keybase encrypted file system
(/keybase/private/agoric_security,$YOURNAME
).
