Widgets are Web programs you can run right on your desktop using Opera 9. This article introduces security-related widgets that will enhance your Opera experience.

€ncryptør

€ncryptør lets you encode your text so that only you or other people using the widget can view its contents. You can also save your workspaces (with optional passwords) for later viewing.



Message Digesting

This widget calculates a Message Digest from a given string of text. Currently supports MD4, MD5 and SHA-1.
