crypton

On the Encryptr app side, src/app.js uses window.crypton.host and _.port to specify the crypton endopint to connect to.

The issue is that because Crypton does crypto with JavaScript in the web view of a Cordova app, it needs to not be stupendously slow.

Our expectation is that the existing SpiderOak product will someday transition to using Crypton internally.

We are however very close to opening nimbus.io and crypton.io open-source secure and private storage APIs based on our storage infrastructure.

It's the first time I hear of crypton.io - so just trying to learn more.

Encryptr's security bits are likely all implemented in the crypton framework.

I think the app store build of encryptr uses a crypton endopint at devgeeks.org.

Another off the wall thought I had was to evaluate for value creation of an etcd-like service starting from SpiderOak's Crypton framework.

Encryptr was a side project of his that he started in his spare time (to mess around with crypton), though obviously SpiderOak is now interested in its success (since it's one of the first/only crypton projects live in the wild).

Also, while I'm not sure if Encryptr has been audited or not, the Crypton project itself has been at least a couple of times.

> I'm not a fan of Crypton Just curious - is this to do with using javascript crypto[0]?

I remember Crypton being announced almost a year ago [0], and for awhile I paid attention the GitHub repo, but it really felt like a dead product.

There doesn't appear to be much crypto in this project; it's a small application built on SpiderOak's Crypton.io.

There are promising projects, like Crypton.io, which enable the use of cryptography in cloud applications.

Crypton.io itself is available on github and you could build your own server.
