[snip] There's no "hiding". You could use a secure key exchange mechanism, such as Diffie-Hellman. Diffie-Hellman is used to generate a shared key between two hosts (say "A" and "B") such that each host knows the key, but any third party listening in on the information is unable to trivially reconstruct the key. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie-Hellman [/snip] I am quite familiar with diffie-helman and have used it extensively with PGP and can see how it would be used like this, but isn't this a munged fix as opposed to using SSL? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
