It would be nice also to think about integrating the very well used jQuery-File-Upload, for which we had a discussion on the integration of PGP encryption: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/issues/764 For jQuery-File-Upload the client side is very configurable and as GlobaLeaks we tested also by sending 2-4GB over Tor Hidden Services, including suspend/resume and chunked transfer. For the backend of jQuery-File-Upload there are multiple language implementation (PHP, Python, Java) and it maybe a nice interface to work. What do you think about such possible integration? There's also a jQuery-File-Upload backend integration in Java https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/jQuery-file-upload-for-java . Using that approach it may be even easier to enable other projects (that use jQuery-File-Upload as JS client upload component) to start using PGP file encryption/decryption in javascript.

Sure, and very cool will be the ability to build PhoneGap mobile applications using such Javascript framework, to create a cross-platform mobile apps for encrypted file exchange in a semi "write-once run everywhere" approach.
