Ciphercat

The Firefox Add-on Ciphercat is based on Local-PGP by x0th and has been developed to enable easy cryptography for everyone and everywhere. Like in Local-PGP, the OpenPGP.js library has been used for all the cryptographic stuff.

Please note: This add-on is not yet meant to get out of alpha stage. By usage, there is always a very high chance to loose all your keys and with that, also all your encrypted data. Feel free to use the add-on as a funny gimmick, but please don't hardly rely on its security and functionality!

Features (in development)

• Generate, add and manage locally stored OpenPGP keys.
• Use a Masterkey (which is kept in memory only) to encrypt and decrypt all locally stored data.
• Use your clipboard for easy and quick cryptography.
• Use an automatic encryption and decryption feature for:
• - wordpress (ever wanted make a blog that no one can read, this is your chance!)
• - twitter (in active development) (This enables a private user group feature. Eat this, bird!)
• - more coming

Usage

   Name          -->  Name of the key bundle
   Description   -->  You can add some short description about the usage of the key bundle.
   Passphrase    -->  Must be a secure password. It is used to encrypt your Private Key internally. Without it, your Private Key could not be used anymore for decryption.
   Private Key   -->  This key should kept (surprise) PRIVATE. It could be used to **decrypt** data, that has been encrypted by using the **corresponding Public Key** before.
   Public Key    -->  This key could kept (guess what) PUBLIC. It could only be used to **encrypt** data.

1. Navigate to Settings > List Keys Now you can see your previously added key. You should export and store it to a save place. But please be aware: Exported data is not encrypted anymore, which means that your Passphrase is readable by everyone!
2. Navigate to Encrypt Select a key you want to take for encryption. This key is stored temporally and used for context-menu actions after clicking Select Key for Encryption. It is possible to use someones Public Key for example, to send him an encrypted message.
3. Navigate to Decrypt Select a key you want to take for decryption. This key is stored temporally and used for context-menu actions after clicking Select Key for Decryption.
4. Context-Menu > Ciphercat > Encrypt to Clipboard Select some text first and activate then the context menu with right-click.
5. Navigate to Encrypt > Select Key for Encryption > Select Target for Encryption This activates the automatic encryption feature for wordpress sites.
6. Navigate to Decrypt > Select Key for Decryption > Select Target for Decryption This activates the automatic decryption feature for wordpress sites.
