		gnur on June 17, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: JavaScript Cryptography Considered Harmful It's not always about trust. Sometimes it's more about the burden of having the keys. mega is a good example of why client side encryption is used. They don't want the burden / liability of knowing what is stored on their server. (they probably know it anyway, but the idea stands).

That protects mega (the server); it does nothing to protect the client.

As the client, I care about my protection.
