Pretty Good ID - Password replacement

[tproli]

Thanks, I htink I got the full picture now. Perhaps I was on the wrong track of the topic title saying "Password replacement" but eventually this is not the case.

Well done! Although it flies way over my head technically, I find the whole PgID very exciting. Here's hoping it catches on.

All source code now committed to GitHub:

I am pretty new to GitHub, but feel this might be a good opportunity to learn something about it.

If you're new to the world of version control then it might be a little difficult at first. If not, then you will see the benefits git has over subversion.

Note: Though I use subversion for personal work.

Though it isn't really designed for website logons, I read this and thought that there were some similarities between it and PGID:

@romulous: I have also read about it. The public key of only 44 characters using elliptic curve cryptography is really cool. But it is only practical for PGID use if libraries are widely available on both the client and server side.

I have updated the Chrome plugin. Now the generated IDs are stored in local storage, and can be encrypted using a password (using AES).

If you find any bugs, do let me know.

Help!

My apologies. Fixed. It was due to accidentally using an uppercase 'V" in the filename.

I have created a new home for PGID!

Demo site:

Latest Chrome extension:

Everything works fine now.

@joby_toss: You are not imagining things! There is really an issue when the vault is initially empty, and this problem seems to appear only on Chromium. Anyway, I have fixed this and uploaded v0.2.1. Have reminded myself that I need to test on both Chrome and Chromium before releasing.

Also updated the extension version in the manifest, another thing added to my list of todo before release.

Thanks for testing!

Any chance PGID will support Firefox?
