Staticrypt : Password protect a static HTML page

StatiCrypt generates a static, password protected page that can be decrypted in-browser: just send or upload the generated page to a place serving static content (github pages, for example) and you're done: the javascript will prompt users for password, decrypt the page and load your HTML.

It basically encrypts your page and puts everything with a user-friendly way to use a password in the new file.

AES-256 is state of the art but brute-force/dictionary attacks would be trivial to do at a really fast pace: use a long, unusual passphrase.

Password protect a static HTML page

StatiCrypt

Based on the crypto-js library, StatiCrypt uses AES-256 to encrypt your string with your passphrase in your browser (client side).

Download your encrypted string in a HTML page with a password prompt you can upload anywhere (see example).

You can encrypt a file online at https://robinmoisson.github.io/staticrypt.

What an interesting solution to this problem! I've wondered for a while what ways someone could merge passwords into the trend of static sites, and this is certainly one way to do it. Thanks for sharing.
