Subresource Integrity (SRI) Referenz
Referenz für SRI: Hash-based verification von third-party resources in prevent tampering.
SRI Mechanism
SRI adds an integrity attribute to script and link tags containing a hash of the expected resource. The browser computes the hash of the downloaded resource and compares it before execution. If hashes mismatch, the resource is blocked and a CSP violation reported. SRI protects against CDN compromise and in-transit tampering. The hash uses sha256, sha384, or sha512 with base64 encoding. Multiple algorithms can be combined for future-proofing.

SRI only applies to same-origin or CORS-enabled resources (crossorigin attribute needed). The hash must be updated when the resource changes, complicating deployment. SRI does not protect against compromised first-party servers. It complements but does not replace TLS. Tools generate integrity hashes from file contents. SRI is most valuable for third-party libraries from CDNs. Without crossorigin, cross-origin SRI is silently ignored.
