So it’s been really quiet on this blog for a while, but that doesn’t mean nothing was happening. I’ll be posting latest updates in the next little while.

One of the major developments is the work we’ve done with Greg Wilson of UofT, with his students, William Ho and Dmitri Vassiliev. Or, I should say, they have done the work with us.

William and Dmitri started to develop a Firefox extension that will allow the users to avoid taking sensitive JavaScript from SlashID, instead taking the code from the open source project. While on this initial stage not all JavaScript will be eliminated, the sensitive parts (password encryption/decryption) will be gone.

Also in the project are some anti-phishing features and shortcuts for more convenient logins.

The project is still ongoing, and the project blog is here. Also, there is a video describing the project.

Thanks a lot to these guys for the great work so far. I’ll keep updating the blog with the progress.
