WEBCAT allows developers to sign their web applications, site operators to enroll their domains, and web browsers to transparently verify the resources they receive.
It uses established technologies and is open source: https://github.com/freedomofpress/webcat

Today we're releasing WEBCAT, a set of open-source tools that enables tamper-proof web applications.
This is a major milestone on the path to the next generation of SecureDrop, to provide trustworthy browser-based encryption.
