Would it be possible, in theory, to securely validate a password client side?
Obviously, simple string matching would not work because the client could view the source to find the correct password. But I have this vague notion (my upper level math skills are very rusty): Parsing the password up into characters perhaps, converting the chars to numbers, and then passing the numbers into the variables of a set of non-linear equations that must be solved simulataneously (in javascript, a set of functions that must return true simultaneously). I have no idea how you could generate the necessary difficult-to-solve set of equations given a particular password, but am curious to know if such an approach is viable even in theory. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Jonah _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dynapi-help
