Hello Joe,

Take a look at ionCube encoder. I use this and it works great.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your reply and comments.... I am not so much looking to have data encrypted from the user. But, encryption on the "server side".... For example, I want to be able to encrypt a web site folder and DB and upload to my hosting provider and know the data is
safe but will continue to serve users as normal.

I just read about TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/) which is Open Source. This could be what I am looking for. Anyone use TrueCrypt?

        encrypted. I've read about HTML protector
        (www.html-protector.com <http://www.html-protector.com>) - Anyone
        use this type of tool?
        What are the open source tools that can do this - if any? What
        are the
        performance considerations? And, how would this type
        of encrytion affect search engine rankings?


    Joe,

    This is a fools errand, in order for a web browser to display your
    page it must be able to download the html and assets (images, css,
    etc).

    I took a quick look at 'html-protector' and was less than
    impressed. The 'protection' consists of using javascript to write
    the page from an obfuscated string.  The 'password prompt' is
    javascript also, and the password is present in the source.

    The cost of all this 'security'? The page is invisible to search
    engines and won't work at all for people with javascript disabled.

    If you want to obfuscate your html you can certainly make it
    (slightly) more difficult for people to 'Save Page As...', but the
    html is always going to be out there.

    Dan
