Sounds like a startup opportunity. :) RackSpace for hobby projects?

"Moving on... It's been a fantastic ride"


If it turns out to be the cause too (maybe similar to cervical cancer), it's a huge discovery.

Asimov's book on science history is an interesting read, full with similar discoveries that were ignored for many years.

There's an issue with passwords/keys not sent to the server: what if the user forgets the password?

No "Forgot your password?" functionality available (reset token), since the server does not store password (hashed or otherwise).


You can email the user a one-time token for setting a new password.

You should never store the users password.


When you email a token, you're back to square 1 and will need 2 factor auth.

In addition the reset password is not possible when the data is encrypted on the client side. This is how TrueCrypt works - if you forget the password, all your data is lost.


Data isn't encrypted on the client side only the "password" is.


Data encryption on the client side is one of the 5 features. See https://github.com/rahvee/CBcrypt and the "Tech Details Video".

"Users are able to login to servers, and encrypt all their data, without ever exposing their password or encryption keys to the server."

"And if the user's data on the compromised server is encrypted using the user's keypair, then even the users' data is still protected."



The "duplicate" links to the LinkedIn's notice about the settlement, but there are more resources on the address above.
