Re: store passwords securely in the internet

[Laurens Vets <laurens () daemon be>]

Hello,

> I've written a program to store your passwords secure in a container on
> a server. It's written for the Horde framework and is called eleusis (
> http://h4des.org/index.php?inhalt=eleusis ). The idea was to have your
> passwords everytime available when you are online even when you are
> using an internet cafe or a pc at work.
>
> When the user creates a passwordstore, he must give a masterpassword.
> With this masterpassword every password you want to save will encrypt
> with blowfish. For every step (reading, writing) you have to enter the
> masterpassword, because nothing will write unencrypted to the hard disk.
> The masterpassword is never stored. When the user entered the
> masterpassword, the program will decrypt the container and check the
> header. If the header is correctly decrypted, the program will continue
> its work, if not, it will show you an error message.
>
> The whole project is written in php. A weak point of the program is the
> http protocol. When the user doesn't use https to transfer the data the
> passwords will send decrypted over the net.

> I hope there is any use for this program and I'm glad if anyone of you

Wouldn't using Dropbox + KeePass be a quicker and safer way of 
accomplishing the same?
