Name of API: Battery API Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678694 http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/dap/raw-file/tip/battery/Overview.html

Note from spec: The API defined in this specification is used to determine the battery status of the hosting device. The information disclosed has minimal impact on privacy or fingerprinting, and therefore is exposed without permission grants. For example, authors cannot directly know if there is a battery or not in the hosting device.

Brief purpose of API: General Use Cases:Adjust app behavior based upon power status

Inherent threats:Fingerprinting, abuse of battery?

Threat severity:low

Regular web content (unauthenticated)

Use cases:Same Authorization model for normal content: Implicit Authorization model for installed content: Implicit Potential mitigations: None

Trusted (authenticated by publisher)

Use cases:Same Authorization mode: Implicit Potential mitigations:None

Certified (vouched for by trusted 3rd party)

Use cases: Same Authorization model:Implicit Potential mitigations:None

Note: Should have a setting to disable this in privacy settings
