    As the article says, for this to be actually secure, the HTML and JavaScript must be served via HTTPS anyway. The reasoning is that it’d be possible to use Man in the Middle to replace the JavaScript (and thus change/remove the encryption).

    Some people ignore this part and I think that’s a big mistake.
