I am developing a Java application using JDK 1.1.6. One of the things the application does is generate an HTML page with a form on it, which POSTs to a CGI on another server.
The form has several INPUT tags on it that are TYPE=HIDDEN. We want to encrypt the data that is in the VALUE fields of these tags, so that the user cannot tamper with them.
It seems to make sense to use a secret-key decryption algorithm (DES was our first choice), and then the CGI that received the data could just decrypt it using a key we provide them with.
My question is, is there a simple way to do this? I have heard about Sun's JCE package, but I think it only works with JDK 1.2! Can anyone confirm this? Better yet, could anyone PLEASE offer any suggestions as to how the data could be encrypted easily using JDK 1.1?
Thanks, Mike Manion mmanion@us.ibm.com
