| Jul 11, 2012 at 3:05 | comment | added | curiousguy | @Andrey I am pretty sure that your question can be described with this sentence: "web-applications using javascript to perform encryption in web-browsers for added trust", so I added the javascript and web-browsers tags. If by chance I misinterpreted the scope of your question, please remove these tags. | |

| Jul 9, 2012 at 13:21 | comment | added | Andrei Botalov | @BenBrocka In any case Javascript can't be used instead of TLS for encryption as JS code isn't protected from changing at transport level. I asked whether users think that client side encryption is better than server side. | |

| Jul 9, 2012 at 12:28 | comment | added | Andrei Botalov | @ChrisF Preventing eavesdroppers from traffic interception is done using Transport Level Security. Client side encryption can't help in it as eavesdropper can modify code that does encryption. | |
| Jul 9, 2012 at 12:23 | comment | added | user658 | @AndreyBotalov - the reason to do client side encryption is to secure the data. If you send it in plain text it can be read if the packets are intercepted. | |
