Encryption

Hi all,

I need to encrypt my passwords which can be sent on the internet, or through
our client applications. What are the tools etc can I use.

Should I use MD5 hash, MS Crypto APIs. Can somebody provide links, some
usefull sites, information where I can some test scripts etc.

Thanks before hand.
Regards
Ravi

Yahoo! is using MD5 hashing for non-SSL logons. JavaScript source and other
information is here on the script author's page:

If these are web-based applications, why not use HTTPS / SSL connections?
There you can not only get encryption but also non-repudiation / identity
verification via a third party.
