Is it possible to hide the contents (or encrypt it) of an HTTP request so that no other than authorize person can view it ??
For example, if one user is just submitting a data to in Login page even if using the http post, then also it is possible to see the contents like username and password which are contained in request headers in firebug kind of tools.
I know that encryption algorithm at client side may be used but still data goes in HTTP request is visible.
Any solutions ???
Thanks in advance…
The standard method for encrypting web traffic is an SSL certificate. Their use is easily recognized by the https protocol specification. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Https
SSL Certificates can be purchased easily online. Below are a couple of vendors that I use:
