I saw this announced at HOPE X this weekend:
http://minilock.io/
It uses curve25519 <http://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html>, which requires much smaller
keys (32 or 64 bits) to ensure security -- and so it basically just demands
a strong passphrase from the user from which can be derived a strong
private key.
The developer has a video <http://vimeo.com/101237413> and slides
<http://minilock.io/files/HOPEX.pdf> to go along with it, and in general
focused his energy on persuading the audience that JavaScript crypto is a
necessary and achievable part of the future.
