I can't trust any javascript that your service sends to my browser over Tor, because you don't use https. That javascript on the signup page which generates your private key... How do I know that script came from your server and that it's not a modified version which came from an exit node, which is going to report the key back to them after it is generated? At a bare minimum, before I would even start considering using this service, every single resource that your site delivers should be sent over https, all http connections should be redirected to https. HSTS should be used so browsers remember to use https, and you should contact the Chromium project to get yourself on their list of pinned SSL sites for first time visitors (which is also used in Firefox now I believe), and is also used in the HTTPS-Everywhere project for rule generation. -- Mike Cardwell https://grepular.com/ http://cardwellit.com/ OpenPGP Key 35BC AF1D 3AA2 1F84 3DC3 B0CF 70A5 F512 0018 461F XMPP OTR Key 8924 B06A 7917 AAF3 DBB1 BF1B 295C 3C78 3EF1 46B4
