Data usage control is a concept that extends access control to also protect data after it has been released. Usage control enforcement relies on available information about the distribution of data in the monitored system. In this thesis we introduce an information flow tracking approach for JavaScript in order to enable usage control for dynamic content in web browsers. The proposed model is implemented as a prototype in the JavaScript engine V8 of the Chromium browser to evaluate the feasibility of the chosen approach.
