The open source webmail application "Roundcube" combined with the "openpgp_rc" plugin which utilises the "openpgp.js" library, works as follows:
You can generate your keys in the browser, or paste in an existing key. The key is then stored in HTML localStorage in the browser. If you ever clear your localStorage, you have to paste it in again. But this way, the key never goes near the server.
Your method is suitable for most people who can't be bothered backing up their keys. Choice would be a good thing though.
- napoleond 13y agoThat's a cool way of doing it! Of course, the usual caveats about in-browser crypto still apply, but still neat. I agree that choice is great, and we might expose manual key management in Parley at some point, but realistically people who know how to do that (and have the desire to) already have many options.
