What does the same origin policy enforce in Pega applications?

The same origin policy is a critical security concept in web development, and in the context of Pega applications, it specifically enforces that the protocol, host name, and port number match between web resources. This policy helps prevent potential security vulnerabilities, such as cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and cross-site scripting (XSS), by ensuring that scripts or requests from one origin cannot interact with the resources of another origin unless they meet the criteria defined by the same origin policy.

When an application adheres to this policy, it restricts how documents or scripts loaded from one origin can interact with resources from another origin. This means that only resources that are served from the exact same protocol, host name, and port number can communicate with each other. Violating these conditions often leads to security risks, which is why this enforcement is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of web applications, including those built on the Pega platform.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately describe the purpose or function of the same origin policy. The requirement for a common programming language, the necessity for all content to be encrypted, or the allowance for unrestricted data sharing across servers do not align with the core principles of the same origin policy, which focuses on the
