Re: Betr.: RE: encryption

[Kevin Carlson <kevin () kcarlson net>]

There are alternatives which may be more powerful or easier for you to 
implement.

For example, you can control directory access using a .htaccess file 
with Apache servers.  Give the password to only those who should have 
access.

You can also store text content in an online database such as MySQL, and 
programmatically control access via password.  Pages may then be 
dynamically generated and accessible via a rule-based system.  (This is 
perhaps your most flexible option, although it does require some 
programming in a language such as PHP.)
