VIGIL Gate

Workflow-aware browser security for links opened from external applications, identity flows and navigation handoffs.

VIGIL Gate 0.4.2 This release improves navigation analysis, workflow awareness and overall reliability. Improvements Added domain familiarity signals to improve navigation context analysis Added workflow destination signals and destination mismatch detection Improved navigation continuity handling to reduce unnecessary interruptions Improved handling of same-host transitions and approved navigation flows Added local debug trace capabilities for troubleshooting and validation Improved protection of sensitive information within debug traces Expanded regression testing and navigation decision validation Improved development, packaging and release reliability Security & Privacy No telemetry No browsing history uploads No cloud-based analysis Core decision logic remains local to the browser Known Limitations Some advanced redirect-chain and external-navigation test fixtures are currently being redesigned as part of ongoing validation work. Thank you for helping test and improve VIGIL Gate. ________________________________________________________________________ VIGIL Gate is a browser security research project that explores how users inherit trust while moving through modern digital workflows. Traditional browser security mechanisms primarily evaluate destinations, domains and technical indicators. VIGIL Gate investigates an additional question: how workflow context influences user trust decisions during navigation. The project focuses on workflow-aware browser security, trust-transition verification and contextual user assurance across interactions involving email, collaboration platforms, identity providers and external web services. Research areas include: • Workflow-conditioned trust • Trust-transition verification • Contextual user assurance • Browser-mediated security interactions • Identity-context validation • Privacy-preserving security mechanisms VIGIL Gate introduces lightweight verification moments during selected navigation events to help users reassess trust when moving between different applications, identities and trust domains. Privacy is a core design principle. VIGIL Gate is designed around: • Local-first processing • Data minimization • No telemetry • No analytics • No browsing history uploads • No workflow activity uploads Additional information: Project website: https://sentyra.nl/onderzoek/vigil-gate/ Privacy Policy: https://sentyra.nl/onderzoek/vigil-gate/privacy/
