This doesn't look especially safe. In addition to the fact that the crypto is delivered by the server, and so every browser/server transaction is an opportunity for the server to surreptitiously backdoor the crypto operations, the underlying crypto here appears to be CBC+HMAC where the payloads are decrypted before the HMAC is checked.
