I had a chance to try out crypho a couple of weeks ago at a demo they put on at noisebridge. I have some concerns about it, namely the delivery of crypto code over javascript without any sort of verification of it's authenticity (via browser plugin, etc.), since this point has already been discussed to death on this list however, I do not wish to re-open that debate. I managed to find a couple of javascript injection attacks in the beta already, though the developer assures me that they are working on fixing all the bugs right now, still the lack of attention to basic web security at such an early stage is concerning. That aside it seems okay, though I have some worries about side channel attacks and the fact that it hasn't been peer reviewed as far as I can tell yet. It does seem like an interesting project though, with some smart people behind it. I am looking forward to seeing the code once they open source it.
