Sure. As this is designed now, HTTPS’s prevention of malicious JS insertion is the big weak point I see. But it’s implicitly asking what you could do if you found ways of getting around that, for example by using client-side caches of the code after a strict initial check.

The real wow for me here is that JS is fast enough to do AES-128 at comfortable chat speed. That’s really suggestive. It’s an epsilon, but it’s a fertile and interesting epsilon.
