Per the Security Assessment Review, users must abide by the following constraints:
- Ensure use of a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module to secure VA sensitive data in applications and devices that use NCapture.
- Ensure that web browsers and NCapture are compatible with each other and are always updated on devices that are being used.
- NCapture uses permissions that give the extension access to run on all http and https sites. It may be possible to avoid declaring any host permissions by using the activeTab permission. NCapture also uses the “tabs” permission, which grants the extension access to privileged fields of the Tab objects used by several API’s. In many circumstances extensions will not need to declare the `tabs` permission to make use of these APIs.
