Encrypted blog entriesHiding in plain sight on your
site
Victor Cheung has a great idea. Okay, I have no
idea what I would use this for yet. Maybe if I have to go into
Stainless Steel Rat mode and become an underground freedom activist.
But there is no denying both the geek factor and the
potential.
I use my blog as literally an online journal to record my activities and thoughts so I can look back at them later. Writing things down can also be therapeutic. As a side benefit, it serves as a form of communication with my friends and randoms (it helped me get my apartment). The problem is that I have to constantly censor myself as I do not want other people reading some of my more personal thoughts, especially ones about people that read my blog. I want my blog to be public, but I want to also add some private text. My solution is to use cryptography. I will encrypt text I don't want people to read, this way the text is not available anywhere (not even on the server). The difficulty is in making it easy to do both encryption and decryption and doing so in a secure manner, i.e. do everything locally. Of course you shouldn't use this for anything illegal. As I said, at the moment I have no practical use, although I have a notion or two I am going to think about. Hat tip Strike the Root.
