Comment on Spideroak debuts Crypton, framework for end-to-end encrypted cloud applicationsparent

Comments

We evaluated several libraries (all JS crypto libraries we could find actually - there aren't many) and CryptoJS suited our needs the best. Specifically, it includes PBKDF2 and CFB mode for AES which SJCL doesn't have right now.

We have encountered subtle problems with the CryptoJS API, and we plan on giving back and writing a JS crypto library using the lessons we've learned from this project.

What is wrong with sjcl's PBKDF2?

It looks like there will be no CFB in sjcl:
