I am no expert.

Client side encryption is unexplored. Secure crypto is possible only through extensive peer review, which is missing in the case of client side encryption using JS.

I think SSL/TLS is sufficient if implemented correctly. The only advantage that client side encryption using js offers is that the contents are not known to the server. Whereas in the case on SSL/TLS, the server basically has access to all your encrypted data since they hold the keys. But I digress. Client side encryption needs more R&D.


I am stuck with a CRUD (testing) job. Been trying really hard to get out. Learned python. Created many side projects at work to improve current process and personally to expand horizon and geow. But whenever I go for an interview for a development position, they are always like, "We currently need someone who has hands on experience with <relevant technology> development. So we cannot take your candidature further." Really demotivating. Feels like I am gonna be stuck as a tester for life despite having so many ideas and knowledge!


You're probably not applying to the right position, or start using <relevant technology> for side projects. Not sure where you are, but it seems like there are more and more openings for web developers.


Wait don't we already do this and accuse proponents of SOPA etc. of curbing our freedom under the excuse of piracy?


No.


I agree with one of those top contributors...they should start accepting bitcoins.


ipad/iphone has never been the best device hardware-wise. but they deliver a good experience despite having inferior hardware with better OS, apps, content etc.


"...bad implementations of SSL like OpenSSL..."

It represents a fractal.


haha...FUCK U TOO APPLE!


Flame caught all the attention because it made use of a new hash collision technique currently not know to anyone. Which would mean it was govt. backed.
