Description

Client-side AES encryption implemented in Javascript provides a method of (en|de)crypting data with out the plain text data or passwords ever landing on the remote server..

Notes

Based on DesCrypt and Chris Veness' AES implementation in JavaScript(approve links)

Extract the file :aescrypt-0.1.tgz Δ into pmwiki. It should contain the files:

pmwiki/cookbook/aescrypt.php
pmwiki/pub/aescrypt/aes.js
pmwiki/pub/guiedit/aescrypt.png

Add a form name of "EditForm" to the form by editing line 290 of scripts/form.php from:

 ':html' => "<form action='{\$PageUrl}?action=edit' method='post'

to:

 ':html' => "<form name='EditForm' action='{\$PageUrl}?action=edit' method='post'

And add the line:
include_once('cookbook/aescrypt.php'); to pmwiki/local/config.php

This will add an button to edit-toolbar. Set up your edit text like this:

  Some text.
  More text. (:aescrypt:) [= Encrypt this text =]
  And this (:aescrypt:) [= Encrypt this as well =]

And then before pressing "Save" or "Preview" press button. This will prompt for a password and then change the markup to (:aescrypted:). You may now click "Save". In standard viewing your encrypted text will show as a link that, when clicked, prompts for a decrypt password.

Limitations

Only tested under Firefox 3.6, Opera 10.10 and Epiphany 2.30 on `Ubuntu Linux [ok]
and no promises that your data wont be forever lost.
