This is the second post of a two-part blog post that discusses HTML5
WebSocket and security. The first post, HTML5 WebSocket Security is Strong,
talked about the security benefits that derive from being HTTP-compatible and
the WebSocket standard itself. In this, the second post, I will highlight
some of the extra security capabilities that Kaazing WebSocket Gateway
offers.
Kaazing WebSocket Gateway makes your Web application architecture more
secure. We leverage the HTTP and WebSocket standards as well as
Kaazing-specific technology for capabilities beyond what the standard
provides, but what real-world applications typically need. What are some of
those things? Read on…

There is a lot of new stuff to talk about when it comes to the related HTML5
APIs and protocols. For example, the official RFC (RFC 6455) for
the WebSocket protocol was recently published and it has changed
significantly since its earlier protocol drafts.

Watch Part 1 of our webcast series: Web Communication Revolution – an
Overview of HTML5 WebSockets.
In this recorded presentation we walk through the challenges the legacy Web
is posing and how HTML5 and WebSockets are changing it into a new, living
Web. In the webcast we discuss questions like HTML5 and WebSocket support in
older browsers, the WebSocket API and protocol, trends how the full duplex
low latency messaging will change enterprise topologies, and how higher level
business protocols can be extended all the way to desktop browsers and mobile
devices.
