SecureString Equivalent for JavaScript?

[Sandeep Singh]

Hello All,

Do we have SecureString Equivalent for JavaScript to securely handle sensitive information in memory.

With one of the client side GUI application which is built using JavaScript and I have observed that it is storing  password in memory in plain text.
Wondering if there is a proven way to mitigate this for JavaScript code?

Thanks,

Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

The variable containing the clear text password should be reset immediately after lo-gin or after the operation is completed.Use salted hash technique, So the POST request will contain the salted hash value of the sensitive data’s and the clear text data’s will not be there in the memory.

 

Thanks & Regards,
