Marco Barulli writes "A zero-knowledge web application knows nothing about its users and their data. This blog post describes the 4 rules that web developers should follow to build zero-knowledge web apps. We got the "social web", are we ready for the "private web"? We got used to trust online services with our data (text documents, spreadsheets, ...), but is it necessary? Many useful web applications can (and should) be developed applying a zero-knowledge methodology."

mbarulli writes "Dan Smith, the Tamarin module owner, was kind enough to share with Clipperz the first official benchmarks of Tamarin vs. SpiderMonkey! These numbers are a very good indicator of the benefits that Tamarin could bring to Mozilla-based products. Dan says: "Performance will be greatly improved over current JavaScript implementations, especially for typed code. Tamarin does much better than SpiderMonkey in nearly all tests except some of the numeric tests where it is doing extra type conversions. But future optimizations will certainly address these situations too.""
