Mozilla Labs Weave
Weave is a FireFox (Mozilla) add-on. I installed and will test the sync capabilities. The only issue for me is that I had to create Yet Another Account (including a pass phrase to encrypt my data/credentials). At this point, I prefer to use an existing account and/or cloud services (think Microsoft, Google) for my sync services.
I am hoping that cloud services will be the source of centralized authentication and services, but at least we are headed in the right direction.
Some of the key functionality enabled by the Weave add-on includes:
- Synchronization engine - securely transports your browsing experience across all your devices
- Cryptographic engine - provides default client side encryption for all your data
- Weave server - a secure storage location for all your encrypted data
- APIs - extension interfaces for 3rd party developers
The initial release provides synchronization of browser meta-data (bookmarks, stored passwords, history, tabs, preferences, add-ons, personas). Future releases will support other types of data and functionality.
