BizzyDesk extension

This is our essential Chrome extension, which is designed to facilitate secure and efficient communication between the browser and a dedicated native application. This native application is integral to the Remote Control (RC) feature that our customers rely on for seamless screen sharing and remote management.

Purpose and Functionality: Our extension uses the nativeMessaging API to establish a communication channel between the web-based interface and our native C++ application. This setup allows the extension to transmit commands and receive responses in real-time, enabling functionalities such as starting or stopping screen broadcasting, managing user sessions, and granting or revoking remote control access to specific users. The native application is responsible for executing these commands, interfacing directly with the operating system to manage screen capture, input control, and other critical operations that cannot be handled purely within the browser environment.

Technical Implementation: The communication between the extension and the native application is handled through standard input/output pipes (stdin/stdout). This method ensures that data is securely transmitted between the two processes, with strict controls over what information is sent and received. The native application only processes predefined commands from the extension, reducing the risk of unauthorized actions or data leakage.

The nativeMessaging API is utilized exclusively for this communication. No other communication channels or third-party services are involved, ensuring that user data remains secure and confined to the user's local environment. The extension does not access or transmit any data beyond what is necessary to perform its intended functions, and all interactions are logged and monitored to ensure transparency and security.

Security Measures: To safeguard user privacy, the extension employs several security measures:

Restricted Access: The nativeMessaging API is configured to only communicate with our specific native application, which is deployed securely alongside the extension. This ensures that no other applications can misuse the communication channel. Data Minimization: The extension only transmits essential data needed to execute the RC features. No personal information, browsing data, or other unrelated data is accessed or transmitted.
