Another form of encryption "Not SSL"?

L

Leon

How can I encrypted data sent across my website from web forms without using
SSL?
Such as on Login the user enter "EmailAddress" & "Password" and Simply
Registration Form
in which the user creates a Password, FirstName, LastName, etc.
I see site like Careerbuilder and Monster allow user to register, login, and
retrieve a lost password
without using a SSL connection "I Know anytime you deal with credit card
info you need a SSL.
Thanks!

Hi,

I'm not sure you can without using an ActiveX control. If you login to
Monster and use a network sniffer you can see that Monster isn't using any
encryption. It is simply sending your credentials over in clear text. Good
luck! Ken.

Hi,

As a follow up here is something you could use:

http://javascript.internet.com/passwords/text-encryption.html

While you are still submiting in clear text will take a hacker a little
work
to get the user name and password. However, once he goes to your site
himself, gets the javascript code he could still very easily crack your
passwords. Good luck! Ken.

You were right with your first reply. Using JavaScript to encrypt data is
NOT secure. There is no such thing as "sort of" secure. If he needs to
encrypt data, it needs to be secure. If it isn't secure, it isn't secure.
period.

If it could help you: I once wrote a Java applet that does asymmetric
encryption just like SSL

Let me know if interested,
