You have changed the subject, which was about encryption, not authentication.
And you cannot be an expert: security is an engineering, too...

That said, indeed you are wrong.  Read this for example (and follow the links,

  << Basically, secure javascript does not exist. >>

Now, there is a web crypto api that could change some things: but, even
assuming that it's sound, it ain't generally supported yet.

HTH,

Julio
