Livecode encrypted URL parameters
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 7:07 am
I hope that I'm being dumb here and there is a simple solution.
I am sending information between a mobile device and the web. I am using urls with parameters that I would like to hide (specifically, email addresses and passwords). I can figure out how to encrypt them on Livecode - but then I can't decrypt them on the otherside because the other side isn't Livecode, so it doesn't know the key. The other side is Cold Fusion. I can figure out how to encrypt the Cold Fusion side - but Livecode doesn't understand the key generated by Cold Fusion.
Using a URL hash has the same issue.
So...is there a wonderfully simple answer?
