Encrypting JSON in Google Gears Workerpool

Hello, I need to encrypt JSON (stringified) data in a Google Gears Workerpool. So far, any implementation I tried either makes the Gears Workerpool bug out, or gives me unwanted encrypted strings.

Is it possible to use canvas functionality from a worker in FF 3.6 ?

I'm currently migrating my image uploader from Gears to Firefox 3.6/HTMLv5. I used a Gears Worker in conjunction with Gears Canvas to scale down the selected photos before upload.
