Hello WHATWG members, With user control and privacy in mind, I have created a spec and an implementation for an easy to use cryptography API called DOMCrypt. This API will provide each web browser window with a 'cipher' property that facilitates: * asymmetric encryption key pair generation * public key encryption * decryption * signature generation * signature verification * hashing * easy public key discovery via meta tags I have created a Firefox extension that implements all of the above, and am working on an experimental patch that integrates this API into Firefox. The draft spec is here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Privacy/Features/DOMCryptAPISpec/Latest The project originated in an extension I wrote, the home page is here: http://domcrypt.org The source code for the extension is here: https://github.com/daviddahl/domcrypt The Mozilla bugs are here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649154 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657432 You can test the API by installing the extension hosted at domcrypt.org and addons.mozilla.org, and going to http://domcrypt.org Best Regards, David Dahl Firefox Engineer, Mozilla Corp.
