However, when used incorrectly it may not solve all of the intended problems. Privacy - Encryption of data, this is good in this case Authentication - the user is unable to determine if the server is legitimate - bad in this caseIf you want to assure yourself that the information you are sending is secure and you don't see a security icon, you can view the HTML source code.I don't like this advice, but it might make a good firefox plugin someday. There are plugins that allow you to force HTTPS, but it does have the possibility of breaking the server.

last time I knew if the page is not ssl encrypted by default the log in information can still be seen before it even reaches the https. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
