Users often depend on websites being able to establish the trustworthiness of the
|
||||
[=web environment=]. When users are playing online games for instance, they are trusting that other
|
||||
users are not cheating. Or when they are browsing social media websites, they are trusting that
|
||||
other users are not faking engagement to make posts popular.
|
||||
|
||||
Websites currently need to establish this trust relationship without any support from
|
||||
[=user agents=]. This can result in websites collecting signals that can be used to fingerprint
|
||||
users.

|
||||
<dfn for="Web Environment Integrity">Web Environment Integrity</dfn> is being proposed as a privacy
|
||||
preserving API to provide low [=entropy=] trust signals for the [=web environment=]. This API relies
|
||||
on [=user agents=] having access to an [=attester=].
