[jira] Updated: (SHINDIG-410) Consider refactoring + NIX (Native IE XDC) enhancement

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-410?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

John Hjelmstad updated SHINDIG-410:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: rpc.patch

The attached patch cleans up the rpc library as well as implements NIX. Performance improvement is dramatic, going from flaky repeated-message passing of low bandwidth and high latency to synchronous, fast, in-memory cross-domain message passing.

> I've been working on a new technique for cross-domain communication in IE that exploits the fact that window.opener can be set and read across domains. To secure this, VBScript object wrappers are used. The technique is a little crazy, but maintains object isolation while utilizing the existing authToken-based security mechanism for establishing a communication channel and authenticating messages sent from gadget to container and back.
> See attached patch for details.
