Okay.. lost password, need to find it again.. but first..

The truth is this'd be useless, if it's going to be decrypted by Javascript then the person who's trying to break it has the source of how to decrypt it, and any key.

Whilst this may stop anyone who's a novice to web technologies it'd be laughed off by anyone who could break HTTPS.

If you're trying to provide some security for those who diregard advice and run it over HTTP then don't, it'd be a false sense of security and could result in fingers being pointed at you and your encryption when it all goes bad.

A better solution may possibly be to make it so your app checks whether it's running over HTTP or HTTPS and refuses totally to even consider doing secure things over an insecure connection.

--Molt.
