AMASS uses ActiveX methods on IE and it's LiveConnect methods on Firefox to permanently store the information and of course Flash's SharedObject. Talking about security, the website indicates that "Information stored by web pages is private and locked to a single domain, so other web sites can not access this information.", something similar to cookies, but I think this have to be more tested to see if it have any security flaws somewhere.
This could be an excellent solution to improve AJAX applications, by preloading data for example or keeping cached common data loaded from server. Usage will depend on the nature of the application itself. Anyway AMASS is very new but we'll see more about how this will be integrated in the future.
