configure the site or the page level to use SSL

Hi ad,

To encrypt the login information as it is being passed from the user's
browser to the web server, you will need to use SSL. Normally this
entails purchasing an SSL certificate from a provider like Verisign.
If your site is hosted by a third party, talk to your hosting provider
about how to set this up.

But if I install my web application in the IIS of windows xp, there is no
SSL.
Can we encyrpt on the applicaiton level?

If you google for SSL IIS XP, you will find plenty of references.

You can encrypt on application level. You can take user input on client
side, encode it in javascript as you wish, pass it to the server in hidden
input fields and decode on server side. But

1) You will need to convince your users that your encryption is as good as
SSL and
2) SSL should not be that difficult to get and setup, it simply doesn't pay
to reinvent the wheel.
