<h2>HTTP Headers Security</h2>
<p>A relatively recent development in web security, HTTP headers can be modified either
from the web server or from the application (like Chamilo) to increase the security
of your visitors.</p>
<p>These implies several aspects, from simple to complex, to deal with, from stuff like
indicating which websites you say media or libraries can be loaded from, to adding
extra info about your SSL certificate to make sure a hacked certification authority
will not immediately make your certificate useless.</p>
<p>In Chamilo 1.11.6, we have added several parameters, together with recommendations,
to main/install/configuration.dist.php, that you are free to use or ignore,
depending on the level of security you want to achieve.</p>>
<p>To check your portal for possible improvements in terms of headers security,
we highly recommend the <a href="https://securityheaders.io/">securityheaders.io</a>
website. If you want to read more about CSP and all related headers
security techniques, check <a href="https://scotthelme.co.uk/">Scott Helme's blog</a>.
