Haven't thought too hard about passive attacks, but you're not secure against an active MITM like airpwn (http://airpwn.sourceforge.net/Airpwn.html), because the MITM can inject JS into the unencrypted content that steals your JS security scheme's secrets. Effectively, an active MITM allows XSS on plain ol' HTTP sites.
