Hmm ... this is not what most people understand as a secure website.

A secure website is secured against lurking through encryption the contents of

Yes he does !
He (the user's browser) encrypts it, and it is sent away encrypted.
Than it arrives at the other end (server) which does with the data what he
wants.
