Outside of encrypting in SSL, how can variables being posted from the browser back to the server be protected from prying eyes?
Hello,
As stated by many others, there is not much you can do about user entered data fields. However, if you want to do something about securing and/or tamper-proofing hidden form fields and various forms of session and state sent to the client, then check out isecauditors.com and their paper (Advanced Web Application Defense with ModSecurity) on adding crypto and signing features to mod_security for apache httpd. This looks to be a promising new addition to mod_security...
