What Hacker News says

6 sources
We (SpiderOak) have been working on a framework called Crypton[1] for the last few months that allows you to create cryptographically secure web apps. We're trying to get the 0.2 release and new website[2] out this week. I'm currently the only dev on the project and we could always use more eyeballs. I'm working through a code review right now to improve the existing features, but I'm also half way done implementing shared containers and realtime public key messaging. The idea is that you don't new to understand the crypto if you use the framework. We are in the process of getting a professional security audit.

In Ask HN: Any startups working to capitalize on the coming privacy boom?
Hey, I'm one of the developers working on the project. The possibility of "Crypton as a Service" is something we've been thinking about since we started working on this. It's coming soon, but we've been busy getting the fundamentals out - watch for the client SDK which will hook up to a SpiderOak-hosted Crypton server. For a good (though hastily assembled) example of a client-side demo, check out https://github.com/SpiderOak/crypton/tree/master/client/exam...
