We were very happy to see Mozilla’s recent announcement about the new Weave project. The goal of the project is to take various personalized data and push it “into the cloud” using client-side encryption. As things look right now, Weave will not be providing specific services such as calendar, but will provide the basic framework for implementing some of them. Judging from the use cases, the project for now seems to be focused on seamlessly transferring the browsing experience from one machine to another - such as bookmarks, browsing history and so on.

It’s nice to see more and more people taking the approach of pushing things into the cloud using client-side encryption. This is what SlashID is doing with identity management. Our hope is that the benefits of SlashID will become more obvious to more people as this approach proliferates.
