simple note encrypt/decrypt with AES in javascript

2007-07-17

Inspired by the hype surrounding the iphone and web applications, I hacked together a nice little toy to encrypt and decrypt text using aes. I borrowed the aes implementation from here and basically wrote a somewhat nicer UI for it. I still need to integrate sha1 hashing of passwords as the aes.js script author suggests that is a bit more secure than his current method.

I have no idea if it will work in the iphone browser since I’ve only tested in firefox. It partially works in IE7 and I have no desire to spend time finding out why it fucks up. Suggestions to improve my little javascript hacking are welcome of course.

BTW. password of the default content is: “secret”.
