Well maybe. md5 is just a one way hash. Hashing is not the same
as encrypting. Hashing is just to reduce a variable length input to a fixed
length to allow crypt|sign. To be secure you need to hash then crypt|sign

You could also use a little javascript to send
password coded with md5 and verify in servlet the 
password for this user via md5 is equal to the 
password string you received :
