Abstract:
In an embodiment, communication is controlled between a service provider web application executed in a first web browser instance on a device platform of the device and a partner web application executed in a second web browser instance on the device platform. A signal is received, at a control module at the device, from the partner web application, the signal for initiating communication between the partner web application and the service provider web application. The control module, provided by the service provider and installed on the device, uses technology that is native to the device platform. The control module uses a list of partners approved by the service provider to determine whether the partner web application is approved for communication with the service provider web application. If the control module determines the partner web application is approved, the control module allows communication to proceed.
