 power of Cloud Computing combined with a
AJAX pattern called Host-Proof Hosting.
I'm sure that means something, I just have no idea what.


Tara can probably describe this better, but essentially what it means
that the Host only contains the encrypted data, and not the decryption
key. The decryption key never leaves the client. All
encryption/decryption happens on the client side, and only the
encrypted data is sent to the hosting server. This way even if the
actual hosting server is sitting in the Harvard Square, no one can get
any useful data - in a reasonable time-frame.
