Thanks very much for the reply.  
Here's my scenario: I have an Oracle database that allows
access by the user entering a password.  So what I want to do is create a
form where the user enters his password, the password is sent to the
server and the server verifies that the password is correct.  
Is there any way to ensure that the password gets encrypted before it get
sent to the server?
