store passwords securely in the internet

[Andre Pawlowski <sqall () h4des org>]

Hi guys,

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 
send me any critics or suggestions.

Regards
