I would like to take the password that people enter into the survery and send and store only the encrypted version of it over the net. This way the original password will remain non-disclosed but the provider will have reasonable security that nobody else is going to ever see their actual password. I don't want people's raw passwords in the IBDI database.
I'd like to continue providing the full source for this tool so I wonder if someone would be kind enough to provide a snippet of code that will encrypt the password.
Preferrably one that is compatible with any encryption a browser may support. Is there an encrypt tag for an HTML input field? Probably not... I guess the CGI/ISAPI will have to take care of the encryption on the server. In which case the same snippet of code will do just fine since it will be written in Delphi as well.
