Anybody's sandbox: Text jQuery Encode RC4 (+CCK)

Description:

This module aims to a lower level of security for encoding Form API + CCK Textfield values.
If you'd like to store secret values in a form / cck text field secured by client-side encoding using a user defined password, then this module might be the right choice for you!

Adds a CCK Text field "Client Encode RC4" which is no more than a textarea. After user input the field requests the user to enter a (used defined) password to encode the entered text using RC4.

Important Notice:
When using this module you should be fully aware of the pros and cons of RC4 Encryption (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4). For example you should never use a password twice for encryption of several values. Furthermore the module is not safe against key loggers for example!

Dependencies

• Libraries: http://drupal.org/project/libraries
• Content Construction Kit (for CCK Field Support): http://drupal.org/project/cck
• JQuery RC4 Plugin (via Libraries): http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/project/RC4

Possible future plans (feel free to help!):

- Add further CCK textfield types
- Add further password input options.
- Drupal 7 Port

Possible Alternatives

The listed alternatives provide Server-Side encryption and are no real alternatives though, but might be interesting to have a look at, when looking for an encoding solution.
