 h3#xsrf Cross-site request forgery
 :marked
-  In a cross-site request forgery, an attacker tricks the user into visiting a
-  _different_ page and has them, for example, submit a form that sends a request to your application's
-  web server. If the user is logged into your application, the browser will send authentication
-  cookies, and the attacker could—for example—cause a bank transfer in the user's name with
-  the right request.
+  In a cross-site request forgery (CSRF or XSRF), an attacker tricks the user into visiting
+  a different web page (e.g. `evil.com`) with malignant code that secretly sends a malicious request 
+  to your application's web server (e.g. `example-bank.com`). 
   
-  To prevent this, your application must ensure that user requests originate in your own
-  application, not on a different site. A common technique is that the server sends a randomly
-  generated authentication token in a cookie, often with the name `XSRF-TOKEN`. Only the website 
-  on which cookies are set can read the cookies, so only your own application can read this token. On
-  each API request, the server then validates the client by checking that the token is sent back,
-  usually in an HTTP header called `X-XSRF-TOKEN`.
+  Assume the user is logged into the application at `example-bank.com`.
+  The user opens an email and clicks a link to `evil.com` which opens in a new tab.
   
-  The Angular `http` client has built-in support for this technique. The default
-  `CookieXSRFStrategy` looks for a cookie called `XSRF-TOKEN` and sets an HTTP request header named
-  `X-XSRF-TOKEN` with the value of that cookie on every request. The server must set the
-  `XSRF-TOKEN` cookie and validate the response header for each state-modifying request.
+  The `evil.com` page immediately sends a malicious request to `example-bank.com`.
+  Perhaps it's a request to transfer money from the user's account to the attacker's account.
+  The browser automatically sends the `example-bank.com` cookies (including the authentication cookie) with this request.
 
-  CSRF tokens should be unique per user and session, have a large random value generated by a
-  cryptographically secure random number generator, and expire.
+  The `example-bank.com` server, if it lacks XSRF protection, can't tell the difference between a legitimate request from the application
+  and the forged request from `evil.com`.
 
-  Angular applications can customize cookie and header names by binding their own
-  `CookieXSRFStrategy` value or implement an entirely custom `XSRFStrategy` through providing a custom
-  binding for that type by adding either of the following to your providers list:
+  To prevent this, the application must ensure that a user request originates from the real
+  application, not from a different site. 
+  The server and client must cooperate to thwart this attack.
+
+  In a common anti-XSRF technique, the application server sends a randomly
+  generated authentication token in a cookie.
+  The client code reads the cookie and adds a custom request header with the token in all subsequent requests.
+  The server compares the received cookie value to the request header value and rejects the request if the values are missing or don't match.
+
+  This technique is effective because all browsers implement the _same origin policy_. Only code from the website 
+  on which cookies are set can read the cookies from that site and set custom headers on requests to that site.
+  That means only your application can read this cookie token and set the custom header. The malicious code on `evil.com` can't.
+
+  Angular's `http` has built-in support for the client-side half of this technique in its `XSRFStrategy`. 
+  The default `CookieXSRFStrategy` is turned on automatically.
+  Before sending an HTTP request, the `CookieXSRFStrategy` looks for a cookie called `XSRF-TOKEN` and 
+  sets a header named `X-XSRF-TOKEN` with the value of that cookie. 
+  
+  The server must do its part by setting the
+  initial `XSRF-TOKEN` cookie and confirming that each subsequent state-modifying request
+  includes a matching `XSRF-TOKEN` cookie and `X-XSRF-TOKEN` header.
+
+  XSRF/CSRF tokens should be unique per user and session, have a large random value generated by a
+  cryptographically secure random number generator, and should expire in a day or two.
+
+  Your server may use a different cookie or header name for this purpose.
+  An Angular application can customize cookie and header names by providing its own `CookieXSRFStrategy` values.
+code-example(language="typescript").
+  { provide: XSRFStrategy, useValue: new CookieXSRFStrategy('myCookieName', 'My-Header-Name') }
+:marked
+  Or you can implement and provide an entirely custom `XSRFStrategy`:
 
 code-example(language="typescript").
-  { provide: XSRFStrategy, useValue: new CookieXSRFStrategy('myCookieName', 'My-Header-Name')}
-  { provide: XSRFStrategy, useClass: MyXSRFStrategy}
+  { provide: XSRFStrategy, useClass: MyXSRFStrategy }

+  ## Guarding against Cross-Site Request Forgery
+
+  In a cross-site request forgery (CSRF or XSRF), an attacker tricks the user into visiting
+  a different web page with malignant code that secretly sends a malicious request to your application's web server,
+  
+  The server and client application must work together to thwart this attack.
+  Angular's `Http` client does its part by applying a default `CookieXSRFStrategy` automatically to all requests.
+
+  The `CookieXSRFStrategy` supports a common anti-XSRF technique in which the server sends a randomly
+  generated authentication token in a cookie named `XSRF-TOKEN`. 
+  The HTTP client adds an `X-XSRF-TOKEN` header with that token value to subsequent requests. 
+  The server receives both the cookie and the header, compares them, and processes the request only if the cookie and header match.
+  
+  See the [XSRF topic on the Security page](security.html#xsrf) for more information about XSRF and Angular's `XSRFStrategy` counter measures.
