Last weekend I participated in Openhackday hosted by Yahoo! @ Taj residency and developed an application based on Redaction which won Best Confidential Messages award(an Ipod-touch :)).
The experience of coding continuously for 24 hr, Dance show, Bean bags all over the place, Delicious food, Redbull, Unlimited beer ;) all were good. Apart from fun part, I did learn many new things like YUI, OpenMail, JavaScript debugging, etc..
Also some unforgettable moments like working on YUI with help of Chris Heilmann ;)
What I did?
I developed a small mail application which can be integrated in to yahoo mail using Yahoo's openmail APIs.Instead of encrypting the whole mail, this application allows user to select a particular word that should be encrypted using a user's key and at receiving end other user can view those words only by providing same key.
Example use case
A Manager wants his mail to be formatted by his secretary but doesn’t want her to see all the sensitive data in that mail.
A 3 min demo on what I did is available @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DMT_fN66oI
