Abstract
Tato práce je zaměřena na seznámení s postupy, jakými webové prohlížeče zabezpečují uložená prostřednictvím správce hesel data. Jedním z cílů je porovnání "best practicies" pro danou problematiku s řešeními použitými v prohlížečích. Druhá polovina práce se víc zaměřuje na Mozilla Firefox a jeho implementaci zpracování hesel a jejich uložení. Dále je na základě získaných informací vytvořen nástroj pro import a export hesel pro profily Firefox.
This work is focused on getting acquainted with the methods by which web browsers secure data stored in the password managers. One of the goals is to compare "Best practices" for this problem with solutions which are used. The second half of the work is more focused on Mozilla Firefox and its implementation of password processing and storage. Based on the obtained information a tool for import and export of passwords for Firefox profiles is created.
