Re: encryption over the web

[Paul Johnston <paul () westpoint ltd uk>]

Hi,

SSL is the only proper solution. However, there is a small movement of 
JavaScript crytographers. My JS MD5 script 
(http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5) can be used to protect login passwords 
by doing some kind of challenge-hash authentication protocol. There is 
also JS Rijndael, RSA and more. An interesting application is JS 
self-decrypting archives (http://sda.gmxhome.de/sdaeng.htm) which are 
similar in principal to PGP SDAs.

Hope this helps,

Paul
