/*
 * SignInToWebsite.jsm - UX Controller and means for accessing identity
 * cookies on behalf of relying parties.
 *
 * Currently, the b2g security architecture isolates web applications
 * so that each window has access only to a local cookie jar:
 *
 *     To prevent Web apps from interfering with one another, each one is
 *     hosted on a separate domain, and therefore may only access the
 *     resources associated with its domain. These resources include
 *     things such as IndexedDB databases, cookies, offline storage,
 *     and so forth.
 *
 *     -- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Security/Security_model
 *
 * As a result, an authentication system like Persona cannot share its
 * cookie jar with multiple relying parties, and so would require a
 * fresh login request in every window.  This would not be a good
 * experience.
 *
 *
 * In order for navigator.id.request() to maintain state in a single
 * cookie jar, we cause all Persona interactions to take place in a
 * gaia context that is launched by the system application, with the
 * result that Persona has a single cookie jar that all Relying
 * Parties can use.  Since of course those Relying Parties cannot
 * reach into the system cookie jar, the Controller in this module
 * provides a way to get messages and data to and fro between the
 * Relying Party in its window context, and the Persona internal api
 * in its context.
 *
 * On the Relying Party's side, say a web page invokes
 * navigator.id.watch(), to register callbacks, and then
 * navigator.id.request() to request an assertion.  The navigator.id
 * calls are provided by nsDOMIdentity.  nsDOMIdentity messages down
 * to the privileged DOMIdentity code (using cpmm and ppmm message
 * managers).  DOMIdentity stores the state of Relying Party flows
 * using an Identity service (MinimalIdentity.jsm), and emits messages
 * requesting Persona functions (doWatch, doReady, doLogout).
 *
 * The Identity service sends these observer messages to the
 * Controller in this module, which in turn triggers gaia to open a
 * window to host the Persona js.  If user interaction is required,
 * gaia will open the trusty UI.  If user interaction is not required,
 * and we only need to get to Persona functions, gaia will open a
 * hidden iframe.  In either case, a window is opened into which the
 * controller causes the script identity.js to be injected.  This
 * script provides the glue between the in-page javascript and the
 * pipe back down to the Controller, translating navigator.internal
 * function callbacks into messages sent back to the Controller.
 *
 * As a result, a navigator.internal function in the hosted popup or
 * iframe can call back to the injected identity.js (doReady, doLogin,
 * or doLogout).  identity.js callbacks send messages back through the
 * pipe to the Controller.  The controller invokes the corresponding
 * function on the Identity Service (doReady, doLogin, or doLogout).
 * The IdentityService calls the corresponding callback for the
 * correct Relying Party, which causes DOMIdentity to send a message
 * up to the Relying Party through nsDOMIdentity
 * (Identity:RP:Watch:OnLogin etc.), and finally, nsDOMIdentity
 * receives these messages and calls the original callback that the
 * Relying Party registered (navigator.id.watch(),
 * navigator.id.request(), or navigator.id.logout()).
