What is Microsoft Anti-Cross Site Scripting Library (Anti XSS)?

AntiXSS 3.1 helps you to protect your current applications from cross-site scripting attacks, at the same time helping you to protect your legacy application with its Security Runtime Engine.

The Microsoft Anti-Cross Site Scripting Library V3.1 (Anti-XSS) is an encoding library designed to help developers protect their ASP.NET web-based applications from XSS attacks. It differs from most encoding libraries in that it uses the white-listing technique — sometimes referred to as the principle of inclusions — to provide protection against XSS attacks. This approach works by first defining a valid or allowable set of characters, and encodes anything outside this set invalid characters or potential attacks. The white-listing approach provides several advantages over other encoding schemes.
