The following message is ROT26 encrypted:

SSL isn't good enough. Your website can be hacked.
Help solve the problem by advocating these RFCs:

About me
I have no relation to the above sites; I am just an advocate

Why "makerofthings7"? It's a challenge to "make seven things in my life of significant quality and value". Who knows if those things will take the form of software, art, or people. (I'm not married, no kids yet)

comment What possible use does an iFrame have for security?
I think I need a working sample I can learn from and adapt. I'm still missing "something". Are there any sites out there I can compare implementations with? (I feel bad I'm consuming this many comments, this is a record for me)

comment What is the “about:blank” context for browser security and privacy?
@rook I'm soon going to experiment with an iFrame with src=about:blank. Test cases and other ideas are welcome

comment Why is the same origin policy so important?
This was incredibly helpful to me. Can you elaborate on the iFrame case? Can a parent access child variables and vice versa? (sameorigin, ignoring sandbox and restricted configurations)

comment What possible use does an iFrame have for security?
Is there a reference implementation (source code, or live) I feel like I might be re-inventing something that exists. .lastChild.firstChild. is null for a non injected form so I need to accomodate that. This is getting bigger by the moment

comment What possible use does an iFrame have for security?
(I deleted my last comment, it was no good). Once the token is exposed in the iframe, how is it used? I think if the variable is copied to the Parent in any form, it is vulnerable. I'm envisioning a Prototype function "listening" for the secret, sending it off, and using it.

I made an edit to illustrate code that worked. It wasn't something I could paste into comments or put into an edit queue. Please edit/delete/revise as needed.
