Security of the JavaScript is ensured by the following assumption:

Mixed scripts on an HTML page operate as if they were all signed by the intersection of the principals that signed each script.

For example, assume principals A and B have signed one script, but only principal A signed another script. In this case, a page with both scripts acts as if it were signed by only A.
