Abstract
A machine-executable method implementable in a system operable to execute a browser application having at least one security-context zone and operable to apply at least one security policy to interaction between the system and web sites corresponding to domain identifiers populating the at least one security-context zone includes comparing a first set of domain identifiers populating a first security-context zone of the at least one security-context zone with a second set of domain identifiers. The method further includes populating the first security-context zone with at least one second-set identifier not included in the first set of domain identifiers.
Claims8
A computer implemented method for customizing security policy settings in a browser application that will be applied to domain identifiers corresponding to websites, the method comprising:
- displaying, by a computing device, a user interface to customize the security policy settings in the browser application, wherein the user interface enables a user to send a first request to update a first set of domain identifiers that correspond to a first set of websites that populate a first security-context zone of the browser application, wherein the first security-context zone is associated with a first security policy;
- in response to receiving the first request, comparing the first set of domain identifiers that populate the first security-context zone with a second set of domain identifiers that correspond to a second set of websites;
- presenting, on the user interface, a list of domain name identifiers found within the second set of domain identifiers that are not currently found within the first set of domain identifiers that populate the first security-context zone;
- populating the first security-context zone with at least one identifier found within the second set of identifiers that is not included in the first set of domain identifiers;
- displaying the user interface, wherein the user interface enables a user to send a second request to update a third set of domain identifiers that correspond to websites that populate a second security-context zone of the browser application, wherein the second security-context zone is associated with a second security policy;
- in response to receiving a second request, comparing the third set of domain identifiers that populate the second security-context zone with a fourth set of domain identifiers corresponding to a third set of websites;
- presenting, on the user interface, a list of domain name identifiers found within the fourth set of domain identifiers that are not currently found within the third set of domain identifiers that populate the second security-context zone;
- and
- populating the second security-context zone with at least one identifier found within the fourth set of domain identifiers that is not included in the third set of domain identifiers,
- wherein the first security policy is more restrictive than the second security policy.

A computer system for customizing security policy settings in a browser application that will be applied to domain identifiers corresponding to websites, the system comprising:
- a computer processor;
- and
- a memory storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by the computer processor, cause the computer processor to perform steps of:
- displaying a user interface to customize the security policy settings in the browser application, wherein the user interface enables a user to send a first request to update a first set of domain identifiers that correspond to a first set websites that populate a first security-context zone of the browser application, wherein the first security-context zone is associated with a first security policy;
- in response to receiving the first request, comparing the first set of domain identifiers that populate the first security-context zone with a second set of domain identifiers that correspond to a second set of websites;
- presenting, on the user interface, a list of domain name identifiers found within the second set of domain identifiers that are not currently found within the first set of domain identifiers that populate the first security-context zone;
- populating the first security-context zone with at least one identifier found within the second set of identifiers that is not included in the first set of domain identifiers;
- displaying the user interface, wherein the user interface enables a user to send a second request to update a third set of domain identifiers that correspond to websites that populate a second security-context zone of the browser application, wherein the second security-context zone is associated with a second security policy;
- in response to receiving a second request, comparing the third set of domain identifiers that populate the second security-context zone with a fourth set of domain identifiers corresponding to a third set of websites;
- presenting, on the user interface, a list of domain name identifiers found within the fourth set of domain identifiers that are not currently found within the third set of domain identifiers that populate the second security-context zone;
- and
- populating the second security-context zone with at least one identifier found within the fourth set of domain identifiers that is not included in the third set of domain identifiers,
- wherein the first security policy is more restrictive than the second security policy.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for customizing security policy settings in a browser application that will be applied to domain identifiers corresponding to websites that, when executed in a computing system, perform steps of:
- displaying a user interface to customize the security policy settings in the browser application, wherein the user interface enables a user to send a first request to update a first set of domain identifiers that correspond to a first set websites that populate a first security-context zone of the browser application, wherein the first security-context zone is associated with a first security policy;
- in response to receiving the first request, comparing the first set of domain identifiers that populate the first security-context zone with a second set of domain identifiers that correspond to a second set of websites;
- presenting, on the user interface, a list of domain name identifiers found within the second set of domain identifiers that are not currently found within the first set of domain identifiers that populate the first security-context zone;
- populating the first security-context zone with at least one identifier found within the second set of identifiers that is not included in the first set of domain identifiers;
- displaying the user interface, wherein the user interface enables a user to send a second request to update a third set of domain identifiers that correspond to websites that populate a second security-context zone of the browser application, wherein the second security-context zone is associated with a second security policy;
- in response to receiving a second request, comparing the third set of domain identifiers that populate the second security-context zone with a fourth set of domain identifiers corresponding to a third set of websites;
- presenting, on the user interface, a list of domain name identifiers found within the fourth set of domain identifiers that are not currently found within the third set of domain identifiers that populate the second security-context zone;
- and
- populating the second security-context zone with at least one identifier found within the fourth set of domain identifiers that is not included in the third set of domain identifiers,
- wherein the first security policy is more restrictive than the second security policy.
