    I'm concerned about the `#` character in the URL.

    # means fragment and that's kept local and not sent to the server unless client side Javascript sends it to the server. I would use an identifier that doesn't already mean something to the URL.

    See https://github.com/Cyphrme/URLFormJS#query-parameters-fragme... (Also see https://github.com/Cyphrme/Path)

  • r/Crypto, can you help take down an evil tool that's stealing people's private keys?

    For browsers this problem is partially solved as subresources may be integrity checked. Further, there have been proposals like DOMTegrity, that provides a complete solution. For now, yes, full integrity checking isn't done automatically in browser, but it may be done automatically using git or manually as is normally done for any software downloaded not using a package manager or git.

    The only reason the evil tool is now the second result is because this backdoor angered me so much I created the (now) #1 tool, that runs in browser, never sends off keys, and is fully open source. Feel free to click on that one all you want and star it on Github. Just practicing, "cypherpunks write code". 😉

    I noticed in July of 2022 that Go did exactly the vulnerable example and reported it to the security team.

    https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53849

    It was fixed as of Go 1.21 https://go.dev/doc/go1.21

    The article cites JavaScript, which is not constant time. There's no sure way to do constant time operations in JavaScript and thus no secure way to do crypto directly in Javascript. Browsers like Firefox depend on low level calls which should be implemented in languages that are constant time capable.

    JavaScript needs something like constant time WASM in order to do crypto securely, but seeing the only constant time WASM project on GitHub has only 16 stars and the last commit was 2 years ago, it doesn't appear to have much interest. https://github.com/WebAssembly/constant-time

    However, for JavaScript, I recommend Paul's library Noble which is "hardened to be algorithmically constant time". It is by far the best library available for JavaScript. https://github.com/paulmillr/noble-secp256k1
