I have recently started writing
Servlet code. I want to know, how to send data from a web page to a Servlet in an encrypted format?
Here is the web page
<form method='post' action='/servlet/UserLogin'>
<table>
<tr>
<td><b>ID</b></td>
<td><input type='text' name='id'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Password</b></td>
<td><input type='password' name='pass'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type='submit' value='Submit'></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
In the servlet I am retriving the parameters using HttpservletRequest.getParameter(
String) method.
In an ordinary case, the client establishes a socket connection with the web server and passes data as plain text but I want the same to be send in encrypted form.
I have no prior knowledge of
Java Security API. And, I don’t want to establish a SSL connection.
