Embedding Sensitive Information in a Web Page

From Zanecorpwiki

I often find that I need to embed sensitive information like a password, or someone's personal information in an otherwise generally accessible web page. For instance, in my business process and operations manual--which is a wiki--there are notes on most of the host systems I administer. It's quite convenient to put passwords here, but not everyone who has access to the wiki should have access to the passwords.

The solution is simple: FireGPG. It's a plugin for firefox which allows you to encrypt and decrypt selected text in the browser. Install the plugin, point it to your PGP key or create one (you can use the plugin). Then just put your sensitive information in a 'pre' element, select it, left click, and choose 'encrypt' or 'encrypt and sign' from the FireGPG sub-menu. Quick wizard, and the text is repalced by a PGP block. Save the page, and do the same thing, but select 'decrypt' and you'll see your encrypted message.
