As reported by WebAppers, there is a new security kid on the block, and yes, it’s OpenSource.

aSSL is a library distributed under MIT License thats implements a technology similar to SSL without HTTPS. aSSL enables the client to negotiate a secret random 128-bit key with the server using the RSA algorithm. Once the connection has been established, the data will be sent and received using AES algorithm. aSSL is composed of some Javascript files and a server side component.

At the moment, this OpenSource (AJAX-Powered) Secure Service Layer is only available for ASP, with PHP, Java, Perl and Python coming soon.
