In this position paper we argue that aspects are well-suited to describe and implement a range of strategies to make secure JavaScript-based applications. To this end, we review major categories of approaches to make client-side applications secure and discuss uses of aspects that exist for some of them. We also propose aspect-based techniques for the categories that have not yet been studied. We give examples of applications where aspects are useful as a general means to flexibly express and implement security policies for JavaScript.
