Storing passwords in HTML5 LocalStorage


I need to store passwords in the HTML5 LocalStorage (No, I can't use hashes and I can't ask the user to type his password).

What is the most secure way to do this? I understand that this can never be really safe, but I'm just looking to secure this as much as possible.

Can you I encryption in JavaScript? If yes, what is the best encryption algorithm for this task?


Solution

  • The closure library has a set of encoding algorithms in Javascript, maybe one of those can help: http://code.google.com/p/closure-library/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fclosure%2Fgoog%2Fcrypt
