So, a self-extracting password-protected archive made portable via web browser APIs?

Yes, that's one way to put it.

p.s. don't use password protected archives: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/35818/are-passw...

How about you explain the problem with password protected archives and explain how you solved it, instead of linking to something and seeing if it sticks.

I asked myself in the past 'how secure are password-protected zip files?', and the answers I found online all seem to agree on 'not very secure'.

Rather than trying to explain why, I provided a reasonably reputable source with a good summary. Read it if you are curious. Or don't. No need to be bite.
