Client-side encryption allows for the creation of applications whose providers cannot access the data its users have stored, thus offering a high level of privacy. [ 1 ] Applications utilizing client-side encryption are sometimes marketed under the misleading or incorrect term "zero-knowledge" , [ 2 ] but this is a misnomer, as the term zero ...
The Web Cryptography API would allow the application to locate suitable client keys that were previously created by the user agent or had been pre-provisioned by the web application. The application would be able to give the user agent the ability to either generate a new key or re-use an existing key in the event the user does not have a key ...
This is because JavaScript running on the client-side (including browser extensions) can access these storage mechanisms, exposing the JWT and compromising security. For unattended processes, the client may also authenticate directly by generating and signing its own JWT with a pre-shared secret and pass it to a OAuth compliant service like so:
Cryptomator is open source encryption software that provides encryption for cloud drives. It provides transparent, client-side encryption for personal cloud storage. [4] Cryptomator encrypts each file separately and then allows the user to sync files with a cloud or local storage of choice. [5]
The function has the same security properties as any (cryptographically secure) pseudorandom function. Specifically it shall be hard to distinguish the output from true randomness. The function is called an Oblivious Pseudorandom Function, because the second-party is oblivious to the function's output. This party learns no new information from ...
Some encrypted backup and file sharing services provide client-side encryption. This type of encryption is not referred to as end-to-end encryption because only one end has the ability to decrypt the data. However, the term "end-to-end encryption" is sometimes incorrectly used to describe client-side encryption. [29]
A client-side web API is a programmatic interface to extend functionality within a web browser or other HTTP client. Originally these were most commonly in the form of native plug-in browser extensions however most newer ones target standardized JavaScript bindings.
Network Security Services (NSS) is a collection of cryptographic computer libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server applications with optional support for hardware TLS/SSL acceleration on the server side and hardware smart cards on the client side.
