Abstract
Techniques and systems for protecting data input to a web-based application are provided herein. A method may include executing, within a web browser being executed by a computer system, a web-based application. Execution of the web-based application may include tagging one or more data fields as sensitive and fetching a public key from a remote server system. The method may include identifying, by the web-based application, a keystroke entry being input into the one or more data fields tagged as sensitive within the web-based application. Prior to storing the keystroke entry in memory mapped to the web browser, the method may include encrypting by the web-based application, the keystroke entry using the fetched public key to generate an encrypted entry. The web browser may store the encrypted entry to memory. Importantly, the keystroke entry may never be stored to the memory of the web browser in an unencrypted form.
