Program Purpose:

The Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform- and language-neutral programming interface for accessingx000D
and modifying HTML and XML documents. DOM provides access to JavaScript to communicate with allx000D
elements on a HTML web page. Any changes in a DOM can have adverse effect on the web applicationx000D
causing security breaches and a loss of sensitive information, therefore Irdeto requires an effective IVx000D
approach specific to the DOM tree. The primary objective of this research project is to design & develop ax000D
robust cross-browser solution that allows execution of the original code by detecting and stopping anyx000D
modifications happening in the DOM tree.
