Welcome to the software distribution page of SeGoDoc (Secure Google Docs). SeGoDoc is a a prototype implementation of content cloaking that has been developed as an extension for the Firefox browser. It is a client-side solution that enables users to retain control over their content without renouncing to most of the features offered by AJAX-based web applications.

A more detailed description of SeGoDoc and the implemented approach can be found in the paper:

A proof-of-concept implementation of SeGoDoc has been implemented by Edoardo Gargano: segodoc-src.tgz

The SeGoDoc implementation is currently unsupported but it can be useful for derivative works.
