Encrypting passwords on POST Django
SSL is a de facto solution, but if for some reason you can't have it, then you'll find shelter in some javascript libraries that encrypt post data. And there are plenty of them if you search.. But I don't believe that any of them can achieve maximum security.
aside from using SSL, is there any way to encrypt a password in the Django framework on the first POST to the server? For example, if I have a form that accepts a username and password, then send it to another view, aren't the passwords sent to the backend unencrypted? If so, is there a way to encrypt the passwords before transmitting to the backend?
