Great article ! Thanks for sharing this. I'd like to know something however. If I simply enforce the use of https on the pages where sensitive info is being sent, will I get an effective protection or are there normally other steps required to safely encrypt data ? I have heard of other methods such as using private/public keys to store data in databases, but is this really useful if I only want the data to be encrypted from client to server ? Thank you! Hey!

If you are going to submit data to a form from a non-encrypted page, then you must make sure that you type in the complete URL with HTTPS:// included. @Jean:

There is however something that is puzzling me and can't find anything when I google for it. what happen to the data passed with the url. if I have http://www.mysite/login.php?usr=asd&pwd=123 is the usr and pwd content definitly not encrypted even if I redirect? I obviously think it's not encrypted, but I have limited knowledge on that matter. I don't see the point in redirecting within php to https because the data is already available. Or is it not working like that? thanks for you help. Jean Very informative. There is however something that is puzzling me and can’t find anything when I google for it.

what happen to the data passed with the url.

if I have http://www.mysite/login.php?usr=asd&pwd=123

is the usr and pwd content definitly not encrypted even if I redirect? I obviously think it’s not encrypted, but I have limited knowledge on that matter. I don’t see the point in redirecting within php to https because the data is already available.

Or is it not working like that?

thanks for you help.
