"I’ve wanted this solution for a long time. Now I have it: Clipperz. My guest for this week’s Innovators show is Marco Barulli, founder and CEO of Clipperz, which he describes as a zero-knowledge web application. What Clipperz has zero knowledge of is you and your data. It just connects you with your data, on terms that you control, in a way that reminds me of Peter Wayner’s concept of translucent databases.

Clipperz is immediately useful to all of us who struggle to manage our growing collections of online credentials, But it’s also a great example of an important design principle. We reflexively build services that identity users and retain all kinds of information about them. Often we need such knowledge, but it’s a liability for the operators of services that store it, and a risk for users of those services. If it’s feasible not to know, we can embrace that constraint and achieve powerful effects."
