**The [2.x branch](https://github.com/twitter/secureheaders/tree/2.x) will be maintained**. The documentation below only applies to the 2.x branch. See the 2.x [README](https://github.com/twitter/secureheaders/blob/2.x/README.md) for the old way of doing things.

The gem will automatically apply several headers that are related to security. This includes:
- Content Security Policy (CSP) - Helps detect/prevent XSS, mixed-content, and other classes of attack. [CSP 2 Specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/CSP2/)
- HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) - Ensures the browser never visits the http version of a website. Protects from SSLStrip/Firesheep attacks. [HSTS Specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6797)
