eSecureKey is a simple string which acts like a private password to encrypt data in the client browser before sending it over to the WebServer. eSecureKey forms an integral part of the AJAX LockDown design pattern. As the data encrypted with eSecureKey lives it's encrypted life outside the client browser even in the back end server where it's saved, it provides a solid privacy paradigm to web applications. Privacy oriented web applications such as online password stores or any user credential stores can implement this architecture for maximum privacy and security. Moreover, the framework puts users in command of their data thus relieving the back end servers from litigations because of server side identity and credential thefts.
A live implementation of the eSecureKey concept is done in www.esecurekey.com, where like most of the desktop password saver application, a robust AJAX based UI is provided to encrypt the data and save it in a back end database.
