Hi Oscar, i totally agree that it's not one of the stronger argument, however when a technology is open and will let third party to work on it, third party WILL work on it applying their creativity. I am confident that we would see inside the crypto-nerds environments a lot of JS-based key management extensions to extend SDES with customer crypto semantic. Then, for security purpose, this must be done outside the webapp, and this can be done in many way such as: - Javascript written browser plugin - Javascript pinned to Browser Cache - Locally loaded javascript Javascript encryption is the next frontieer for Web security and there's a lot of work from that side also from browser manufacturer (DOMCrypt, JS-signing, JS RNG, etc) to provide secure crypto. We are in 2012 and if we speak of an argument that Browser+Crypto we just cannot not consider that Javascript will have a role in that context, one way or another way.
