very good site.. nice job guys:)
i just came here so i hope to post on the right place :)

here is my problem...
i want to pass sensitive data through dynamic web pages.. that means that when the user logs in , some information including username and password must pass to the next web page created and so on..

i want the data passed to be encrypted and , if possible, encrypted in one string...
lets say , i have 2 variables $user,$pass
i want a function that will make this job :
$encrypted_string = some_encryption_method($key,$user,$pass);

then cgi "transmits" the data like this :
print "Location: next_page.cgi?code=$key";

then the data received from the next page must be decrypted and i want to have back my original data :
@mydata = some_decryption method($key,$code);

i want something like that..(if there is)
or if you have something else to propose you are more than welcome..
i just want the data given to be as secure as possible and to be encrypted when "traveling" around the site :)

thanx in advance ...
