Open System Crypton easier to work with cryptography
The Internet has started an open source project that provides independent developers with an easy way to embed encryption technology in their development. The authors of the project say they want to help programmers to create products that are protected against online surveillance. new project Crypton - the brainchild of SpiderOak, which had previously worked to create a Dropbox-like service online storage and synchronization. In SpiderOak said the data on their service are encrypted in such a way that none of the employees of the company to them do not have access.
Ethan Oberman, CEO of SpiderOak, says that the original system was internally developed Crypton company used for some software products, but later there was a decision to open access to the project in order to maximize ease of use of cryptography systems from third party applications. The system works in such a way that programmers do not need to download a separate application for encryption. "We wanted to develop a platform security, which would be offered to independent developers and companies the ability to integrate encryption without deep knowledge in the examination," - says Oberman. Crypton is a framework that that allows applications or web-based programs to encrypt data within the browser, even before they reach the third-party server.
"The innovations implemented in browsers in the last couple of years have made possible the emergence of Crypton. Sliders JavaScript, which appeared in the browsers, is now much more powerful than a few years ago and can handle intensive tasks such as key generation is necessary for the protection of data. Even if someone -then sue us and will require delivery of data, it will be useless as the keys to the data we have and there was not, "- he said. Something similar is used in the service storage Mega, for which there is Kim Dotcom. going to use Spider Oak Crypton for the protection of IM-software systems to work together on projects and other products, on which we are working now. It is planned to develop desktop, mobile and web versions of the project. early version of Crypton is available on GitHub - https://github.com/SpiderOak/crypton Obermann said that in the future we plan to create a commercial version of Crypton, whose source will be closed.
