CryptoData for Firefox

If you are one of those users who loves to keep up with all IT security measures, you've most likely encountered the concept of encryption. While not many do go so far as to encrypt their messages, text or other documents and files, one must notice the importance of this concept nowadays. Not only does it protect you from outside intruders, but it also keeps inside dangers, snooping friends and members of the family, away from your computer and information. CryptoData, an extension for Firefox, is the answer to all your cybernetic fears.

Now, if you’re a Jon Doe and want to use this extension for your own benefit, you’ll probably end up encrypting or decrypting text in your browser, just by selecting it. There isn’t much else tied to this experience. There is an automatic decryption setting that makes things even easier. For the encryption and decryption processes to work, these rely on a key set by the user. Share your key only with those you know and want to be able to read your messages.

If you’re a webmaster, you’ll see CryptoData with different eyes. Not only will its encryption/decryption capabilities be more helpful, but all the security measures it offers will have much more meaning and purpose. As far as encryption is concerned, you'll be able to use it for HTML and JavaScript content. You can use it with images, and it all boils down to what you need and want to do with the capabilities of this add-on.

CryptoData is an extension worth getting if you’re an individual who wants to have more security solutions at hand, or if you deal with websites and need to boost the strength of your protection. It’s easy to use, provided you are somewhat knowledgeable in the IT area, and it could actually prove to be a good way to secure important online assets that you have or deal with.
