Hello,
Quick question about CGI encryption. If one uses the crypt function to encrypt a password entered by a user with a salt generated by a CGI script residing on the Qube3, does the encryption occur in the browser. In other words does the browser send the encrypted or the plain password. The latter seems pointless, but I am making a WLAN and I want to make sure the encryption occurs in the browser, because everybody can pick up traffic between the client and the Access Point.
Thank you
Losha
