jsCrypto

I’m a sucker for encryption tools and I found a new one through del.icio.us called jsCrypto. It’s a JavaScript encryption library that claims to be at least 4x faster than any other JavaScript encryption routine out there.

A description from the jsCrypto site:

We offer a fast, small symmetric encryption library written in Javascript. Though several such libraries exist, jsCrypto offers several advantages.

• A clean, simple interface to basic AES encryption/decryption, as well as OCB and CCM modes for authenticated encryption
• A cryptographic random number generator that collects randomness from user mouse movements, among other sources
• jsCrypto is at least four times faster in all browsers and about 12% smaller than the best previously existing implementation
• In Internet Explorer, jsCrypto is 11 times faster than the fastest previous existing implementation
