WIP: GSoC 2017 project summary

Client-side, public-key content encryption module for Drupal 8

Here is a summary of my Google Summer of Code 2017 project.

About the project

As my Google Summer of Code 2017 project I worked on a client-side, public-key and asymmetric cryptography module for Drupal 8. Module is mostly written in JavaScript and jQuery and it's using Elliptic Curve Cryptography as the encryption system. Encryption is done on the client-side and goal of the project was to create a zero-knowledge system where the server does not know much about the content it is hosting.

Libraries used

• Stanford Javascript Crypto Library - main cryptographic library for ECC, symmetric encryption and hashing
• FileSaver.js - used for downloading files for previously genered ECC private key without server seeing the content
