<h2>Privacy and Security Considerations</h2>
<h2>Security Considerations</h2>

<p>This specification introduces no new security considerations.</p>

<p>In accordance with <a
href="https://w3ctag.github.io/design-principles/#do-not-expose-use-of-assistive-tech">Web Platform
Design Principles</a>, this specification provides no programatic interface to determine if
information is being used by assistive technologies. However, this specification does allow an author to
present different information to users of assistive technologies from the information available to users
who do not use assistive technologies. This is possible using many features of the DPUB-ARIA
specification, just as this is possible using many other parts of the web technology stack. This content
disparity could be abused to perform <a data-cite="fingerprinting-guidance#active-0">active
fingerprinting</a> of users of assistive technologies.</p>
