I'm very interested in computer security. I'm following the development of 
PGP since the `90s, when the first international version was available. ...
Anyway. What I found out for me is, that its much more fun to have a closer 
look at how users deal with sensible information.

Yes. Danielos code uses the library but I didn't have a closer look at the 
implementation.

Danielos plugin leaves some fields of a tiddler untouched for convenience 
reasons. 
For some usecases this may be no problem. For others it is.

eg:

created   20140828081424710 
creator    pmario
modified  20141103103734401 
modifier   pmario 
tags         plugins 
title          test tile

So if someone gets this info there are still some questions that can be 
answered very easily. 
eg: Who did the last edit and when. ... So if you need "plausible deniable 
encryption" [2] some more changes may be needed. 

-------------

There is a talk from Tim Taubert about the upcoming native browser 
"WebCrypto API" [1]. This mechanism is less vulnerable against code 
injection into the library, since javascript doesn't have access to the 
crypto functions. .... The mechanisms used in the video are the same as 
used by the tw crypto library. ... The problem at the moment is browser 
support. 

But imo it is still an area to have a closer look. 

have fun!
